As written, the Morphling allows for natural weapon stacking.  Slam and Claws are both ruled as using an arm IIRC, but all of the other natural weapons would be able to be taken at the same time giving a morphling with enough Morph Points 11 attacks a round, 17 with morphic flurry.  Is this intentional?

Well, that's a LARGE investment of MP.  It's 21 to do that, which you don't get automatically -- at 20th you'd need to have taken Extra Morph at least once to pull it off.  You also wouldn't get any damage increases from morphic weapons unless you take more feats, and pounce alone would take 2 more feats.  So if someone put that much of a feat investment in, at 20th level, I'd be okay with that -- you're supposed to be awesome at 20th level.

Now, you can still get a lot of attacks at a lower MP investment -- you can get 13 attacks for 13 MP, for example, starting at 18th level when you get morphic flurry.

I dunno... is this overpowered?  As long as you're not ubercharging? It's powerful, for sure, but it's still mundane...

I don't know if this would be overpowered honestly.  I think it is fine for the investment, even with pounce costing 2 MP, due to the lack of any kind of bonus damage dice.  However, I'm not a great judge of balance, I'm just good at pointing out possible interactions that might not have been thought of.

I think the only way to know for sure is to playtest it.  Luckily we have a game ready to do just that :D

For clarification:

Transformation only gives you the physical characteristics and extraordinary abilities of the chosen form since it is based off of alternate form, correct?

And Lasting Transformation only applies to the Transformation ability?


I'm sure that Transformation can be a quite useful ability, but could someone give me an example of why I would want to use it instead of just morphing?

Well, it's based off of wild shape, so I guess so.  Why would you play an MoMF?  Though I guess an MoMF can't give itself other abilities...
