Shapeshifter makes identity's dependence on a stable appearance into an adventure problem. Track which signs the characters trust when a face or body can no longer settle recognition. Voice, remembered experience and habitual behavior each offer different safeguards, and each can fail differently. The premise becomes richer when changing form introduces a responsibility or practical limit, rather than serving only as a convenient way through the next obstacle.
