notes:
The package uses restrainable from Hero Almanac 1, a Limited limitation only when in 'wolf form' which is comparable to Only in Hero ID, and two houserule advantages:
costsx3ENDtoActivate on shapeshift to represent that it costs end to change forms, but not to maintain a changed form.
Transitional Shifts to allow for the very limited group of transitional forms between the origional and destination forms.

An alternative to Full Moon as the condition of accidental change, one can use the condition of having not been in wolf form for a period of time, say at least 8-16 hours in the last week, or any 3 night period occuring monthly, or any periodic cycle of similar length.
