[Bug] Shapeshifting may kill the character
Game update 1.0.2012
Current Behavior:
If a character is badly wounded and shifts from a high Constitution form to a lower Constitution form (even if it's his natural form), he will instantly die, assuming that the HP lost from the difference in Constitution score was greater than the character's remaining HP. A character that dies this way also doesn't drop any equipment on the ground, though a Raise Dead spell will resurrect them with all their equipment intact anyway.
Expected Behavior:
Shapeshifting from a high to low Constitution form doesn't outright kill you, but leaves you with the same remaining HP as before.
On a side related note. The Flind form is still not proficient with its own halberd.

As for shapeshifting while being hurt - this is a totally acceptable feature to me.
Shapeshifting to a stronger form will increase HP, so the reverse should also be true.
Funny thing: I rested while Xan was still in ogre form and at exactly 1 HP. He awakened fully healed instead of dead. What a cheater!
No idea how that gels with the rulebook though.
