Dragon Age: Origins · Mage specialization
Shapeshifter
Shapeshifter adds constitution and armor; its description grants protection even in human form and references animal transformations.
How it works
The specialization's one-time bonus is +2 constitution and +1 armor. The source describes an art of transforming the body into animal forms and says mastery provides some protection even in human form. In Origins it can be unlocked through Morrigan or a manual from Varathorn. The character must spend a specialization point after unlocking to take the specialization and access its talents.
