So the Hunter really only gets his shapeshifting abilities going for him in Books 2 and beyond, and starts practicing it for real in the time gap between 4 and 5.
I don't ever really describe how much he can change, because he doesn't ever change much more than his face or a few appendages here and there.
I think of it as "if a demon can shift its ENTIRE shape, a half-demon will have roughly half the shapeshifting ability", with "half" being a loosely used term. So the Hunter is very limited in what he can do, because the Abiarazi magic that would enable him to shift shape can only work on small parts.
Given time, he could probably shift his whole body, but he'd have to do it piece by piece.

Andy Peloquin:
I read the first 3 books of Darkblade series. While shopping for number 4 or a second Omnibus, I found other books that appear to be part of the series, but they are not listed on your website. Reading other questions here, I see this is the rewriting of an original series of Darkblade. If I dont read the old version, am I missing anything? Also found “the Last Burcelia”(forgive the spelling) 1-3, what are these?
