General Rules: Feats - Hidden Strength

Hidden Strength [General, Savage Humanoid, Scaled One] (adapted from Dragon Magic: Power Incarnate)

You keep your physical attributes while in an alternate form.
   Prerequisite: Great Fortitude or Dragon-Blooded or sorcerer with the Sûlic heritage or Sûl-Blooded or Improved Control Shape.
   Benefit: When you transform into an alternate form that is weaker than your natural form, you keep your Strength and a Dexterity equal to or lower than your original scores. You choose what score you wish to have in your alternate form, provided that it does not exceed your original score. if you have more than one natural form, you can choose your Strength or Dexterity score from among all your forms. If transformed against your will, such as with baleful polymorph, you can make a second DC 15 Fortitude save to choose your strength and Dexterity scores from those of your new and original form, plus you get to keep your mental scores of Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma if the new form's are lower.
   Normal: Polymorphed creatures assume the physical ability scores of the new form, regardless if they are better or worse. Creatures polymophed against their will may lose their mental scores and forget their original identity.
   Special: Dragons and half-dragons may take this feat without meeting the prerequisites.
