Some basic questions

I think I remember reading that it's only on involuntarily controlled changes like Jaguar Warriors. Don't think it applies to scripted change shape.

But it may work if you let the human form get "killed". Of course, you'll likely pick up more afflictions that way.

Healed afflictions are supposed to happen when a rider is transformed into a beast IIRC, such as lobsters and machakan spiders. Some others might benefit from this effect, but It's not intended to be usable in general. No voluntary shifters risk getting rid of afflicitons

[thejeff]

The dragons, etc, do transform from their human shapes if wounded/killed right?
It would seem to make sense to recover at least afflictions gained while being "killed" as a human.

[Kristoffer O]

The reason dragons don't fight in human shape is because the human body is weak and vulnerable.

If they get an arrow in the eye in human shape and change back the arrow would still stick out of their eye.
