Aat At level 1, a formweaver may have 3 traits present at a time. Traits are supernatural and extraordinary abilities, and parts of the cosmetic appearance of monsters she's touched, their movement modes, special senses, shit like water breathing, and extra limbs and other such fun things that she's taken with the “Absorb Aspect” mechanic. The number of active trait slots increases by 1 for every 3 levels - so it’s 4 at level 3, 5 at level 6, etc. Hiding natural weapons and armour uses a trait slot - so if a level one weaver wanted to hide her tentacles and carapace but activate telepathy and poison abilities she’d absorbed, it would take up all three of her slots.

'''{{Anchor|Mercurial Form}} {{Su}}:''' One of a formweaver’s most signature abilities involves melding her body with various other parts, abilities, and aspects of creatures and things she’s tasted of with their biogenic touch. Altering oneself takes concentration and roughly five minute’s time and is probably equal parts fun and horrific to watch. The formweaver is vulnerable while transforming and is flat-footed, no matter what wacky roguish tricks she has, while she's transforming. In addition to these facts, formweavers also gain the [Shapechanger] subtype.
'''{{Anchor|Absorb Aspect}} {{Su}}:''' The earliest thing formweavers learn to do is how to absorb the shape and abilities of a creature. Absorbing a creature’s shape, supernatural, and extraordinary abilities requires that the weaver deal damage to the intended creature with her biogenic touch. Generally, only one ability is absorbed per touch, while the whole of the creature’s shape may be learned with one touch. Formweavers have an uncanny inherent insight into the nature and abilities of living creatures, and can generally get the gist of what a given creature is capable of with a raw Intelligence check with a DC equal to 5 + the target's hit dice.
