How to create shapeshifting forms that give you new skills. 
This seems to be a popular question, so I thought I'd submit a tutorial explaining it. What this tutorial doesn't do: allow you to change the graphics of your character in battle. What this tutorial does explain: how to create new skills for new forms and such. So, without further adieu:
- Make a state which you use on yourself called X Form (where X stands for whatever you're turning into) and a skill that applies that state on yourself
- Make another state called Revert and a skill that applies that state on yourself
- Let's say you want X Form to decrease your HP by 50, but increase your Agility by 50 and Attack by 10, and wanted the skills Punch and Stab to be learned while you are shapeshifted into X Form, but be forgotten if you are in human form. You would go to common events in the database, and make a common event like this:
@>Conditional Branch: [Actor] is [X Form] Inflicted
@>Change Parameters: [Actor], MaxHP - 50
@>Change Parameters: [Actor], Agility + 50
@>Change Parameters: [Actor], Attack + 10
@>Change Skills: [Actor], + [Punch]
@>Change Skills: [Actor], + [Stab]
@>Change Skills: [Actor], + [Revert]
@>Change Skills:[Actor], - [X Form]
: Else
@>Conditional Branch: [Actor] is [Revert] Inflicted
@>Change Parameters: [Actor], MaxHP + 50
@>Change Parameters: [Actor], Agility - 50
@>Change Parameters: [Actor], Attack - 10
@>Change Skills: [Actor], - [Punch]
@>Change Skills: [Actor], - [Stab]
@>Change Skills: [Actor], - [Revert]
@>Change Skills: [Actor], + [X Form]
: Else
@>
: Branch End
@>
: Branch End
@>
-Finally, make both the X Form skill and the Revert skill you created call this common event.
Now, if you want to create more forms for that character to turn into, then I you'd have to make a new conditional branch that isn't under Else of this one but in a new common event slot and then put if Revert inflicted and make it the opposites of that new form and set that new skill to call the new common event.
Congratulations, you are a shapeshifter with changing skills biggrin.gif
