I might add that I played Perfect World International. There was a race called the Untamed which could transform into beasts. Females, the mages, became foxes which gave them additional P.def and opened up exclusive fox-form skills that focused on debuffing opponents. The males, tanks, transformed into tigers which if I remember correctly gave additional HP and aggro generating ability. None of this was ever game-breaking, it was by design.
Thanks Spudfuzz , interesting, that's pretty much the type of feature I'd like to see implemented for the Beast races in Bless, with obviously the right tuning of the races to match the lore and integrity of the game's overall gameplay and world. Nothing too crazy that it seems game-breaking
