From the FAQ on the rules page:
Quote:Q37: My character fights in a power suit. If I want them to get out of the suit and walk around outside of fights, does that require an alternate form?
A: No, within reason. The same could be said for many powered-down forms. You can choose to restrict your stats and powers for roleplaying reasons such as your character being in a weakened state, or not actually wanting to have all 10 stat points to start (say you are a weaker character who starts with 5 stat points and gradually trains to reach their full 10 stats. This is okay, but you still have to choose your final base stats when joining). However this is for roleplaying fodder only, and not for a gameplay advantage (for example, saying that your character is smaller in their weaker form, and using that as logic for being able to escape a larger character - this would not be okay).
