Description

A common sci-fi character is the shape changer that can assume the identity of another. Some agent, mechanical or biological, allows them to change many details of their appearance and infiltrate where even the most brazen thief would have trouble penetrating.

Jacks are most likely to choose this foci, but a glaive assassin who could walk right up to his prey and level a lethal attack would be a force to be reckoned with.
