  Appearance (Transformed): The bones down Risteard’s back burst through his skin in a line of 
  boney spikes. His muscles bulge and swell and the veins engorge with blood, flushing him with a 
  bright red color. Here and there, the pressure inside him bursts, exposing those veins. His frame 
  grows large and broad and he takes on a hunched stance, as though the sheer weight of his body is 
  pulling him down. His jaws grow deep and wide and filled with blocky and broad teeth.
  As a result of his Riastradh Virtue, he has the following Fomóir Qualities and Inferiorities:
  • Huge
  • Large
  • Improved Soak x2
  • Reduced Defense
  This provides the following bonuses and penalties:
  • +3 to size
  • +6 to Strength
  • -3 to Quickness
  • +6 to Soak
  • -3 to Defense
  These have been factored into his statistics above. It is important to note that the -3 to Defense is in 
  addition to the -3 to Quickness. This means that his transformed combat statistics show a -6 penalty 
  to Defense totals.
