Beginning at 20th level, once she reaches the venerable age category she ceases to age, her maximum age becomes infinite and aging effects no longer affect her.
'''{{Anchor|Creature LoreAffinity}}:''' At second level, the metamorph has a rudimentary knowledge of creatures due to her shapechanging. She can always take 10 on a Knowledge skill check to identify a creature and its abilities. This also gives her the innate knowledge of the creature's normal language, but only while she remains in that form. This ability is similar to a very limited [[SRD:Tongues|tongues]] spell.
'''{{Anchor|Mutable Adaptation}}:'''The metamorph's knowledge of how creatures work gives her an almost supernatural understanding of their traits and qualities. She gains the ability to make use of the Spell-like and Psi-like abilities of the forms she takes while combat shifting. She is limited to the normal usage limits of the form she assumes.
'''{{Anchor|Practiced Shapechanger Affinity}}:'''At ninth level, the metamorph has improved her shifting speed substantially. She can now use Shift as a swift action instead of a standard action.
'''{{Anchor|Creature Knowledge}}:'''At twelfth level, the metamorph gains a greater knowledge of creatures due to her shapechanging expertise. She can always take 20 on a Knowledge skill check to identify a creature and its abilities. This also gives her the innate ability to understand a creature's normal language, but only if she is capable of assuming that form. This ability is similar to a limited [[SRD:Tongues|tongues]] spell. She need not be in the creature's form, but only capable of it.
'''{{Anchor|Expert Shapechanger}}:'''Upon reaching fourteenth level, the metamorph's shapechanging becomes pure instinct. She may now use Shift without being subject to attacks of opportunity.
