Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Mechanically, is Fane the best story character?

With the full shapeshifter mask you revert back to normal form on unequipping it ... but I haven't tested this since the last patch.

But if you craft the "smaller" version from ripped off face + source orb you can transform and unequip the mask without reverting back to your normal from. This way you can use elf form with a normal helm.
