Gain two ranks
Pick HP legacy for 250 more + 40hp from gains
Gain 3 more ranks for hero. Thats a tottal of 350Hp

Mix it up with choke-eyejab-bludgeon(-dex-str)?
Whirl should maladict a little more at hero also

I dont care what imms say. I think shapeshifters are harder to fight when they got 5 ranks on you.

Waste away their abs, let them run out of mana. Go for teh (gut)
