Possessors can use their Possess talent to steal the bodies of creatures they defeat, and store the bodies in their Bodies Reserve.

They can then use Assume Form to inhabit the bodies. Possess can only steal the bodies of creatures of certain types.

"Humanoid" and "animal" are always available, and you can permanently learn a certain number of extra types (depending on Possess talent level) by trying to possess creatures of new types.

If all the extra types have been chosen, you cannot steal the bodies of creatures of other types.
