Does a drake player character have to allocate starting attribute points to two sets of physical attributes, like a shapeshifter does?
No. Allocate starting attribute points to just one set of Physical attributes. Determine the Karma cost for improving skills or attributes using the (meta)human Physical attributes. The Physical Attribute modifiers for a character’s drake form are: +4 Body, +4 Strength, +1 Quickness, +1 Reaction, +1 Reach, x4 Running modifier.
