>>This is essentially letting you arbitrarily pair the RP aspects of any race with the stat bonuses of any other race. To me, this would be rather jarring RP-wise. I know it might be possible lore-wise, but I really want shift to be an IC thing, and not a pseudo-IC thing like it has often been in the past. Allowing more features to be available in the CM was a great first step, but this might be a a bit of a step back, as I agree that many players would be unable to resist the temptation of pretending to have always been a {race} instead of owning to having been shifted to look like one. I'm not ruling this out, but even if the Powers That Be gave it the okay (and who knows if that would happen) I'm still not really enamored of the likely consequences of such a change.
