As it currently stands, the primary offender is the Gauru form which is touted as the "War Form" yet comes with intrinsic drawbacks that cause it to be shunned over the more popular Urshul form.
Current drawbacks of Gauru form are as follows
1) Usable only once per scene
2) Short duration
2) Requires Resolve + Composure roll to allow short, simple phrases and failure means death rage.
3) Can speak First Tongue but has no chance to really use it due to issue #2
4) Can track by scent which is useless unless actively trying to pummel someone who just hid in the middle of a fight
5) Gifts and fetishes usage limited to reflexive, attack-supplementing enhancers
6) Inability to use complex tools to such an extent that even Axes are dubious
7) Resolve + Composure each turn to perform a non-combat action, failure means death rage
I would like to give special thanks to LOOK, CrimsonShadows, Rahuman101, and Furry for contributing major discussion into different ideas and benefits, and everyone else who analyzed, critiqued, and helped tweak as necessary. This thread is complete, but still open to suggestions if a better idea comes along.
