Shifter Aspect
Feats
At 1st level, a shifter gains her first aspect — a category of animal to which her body and soul have become supernaturally attuned. She can shift into her aspect's minor form for a number of minutes per day equal to 3 + her shifter level. The duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be spent in 1-minute increments. Shifting into a minor form is a swift action, while ending the effect is a free action. Until a shifter reaches 9th level and gains the chimeric aspect class feature, she can assume only one minor form at a time. Shifting to a new aspect (or aspects, in the case of chimeric aspects or greater chimeric aspects) ends all minor forms currently manifested. As the shifter gains levels, she gains more aspects; she gains her second aspect at 5th level, a third aspect at 10th level, and a fourth at 15th level.
