I never asked why it was there besides the IC universal reasoning that unique beings in abyss and hell who change too many times physical forms loose their status.<br/><br/>But IC I could see reason is simply to avoid that the unique devils/demons have naturally enemies and sometimes changing shape is best defense to avoid notice or hide from said enemies. But unable to do so (at least effectively) cuts it off as method to avoid your enemies by just changing shape. Also this means you cannot take form of another entity and bluff to be him/her with vast powers you got.<br/><br/>If your alternative form is unique sort form and not just generic species of something or able change the alternative form minor details; then you do not loose it.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>So... there's no real reason for it, and you're just keeping in someone else's old ruling?  Based on a previous game's in-universe explanation that seriously conflicts with established fluff, and which you're not actually required to stick to because you're now the one running the game, rather than a player in it? ^^;
