I see no good reason to make the Transformation power completely free.
It normally costs 1 point. It would be simple enough to stick the
werewolf with one more Disadvantage point to balance that.

I do think it's reasonable to consider their werewolf Traits "free",
at least if the free Advantages and Disadvantages are balanced against
one another, especially considering the fact that you may have other
characters becoming werewolves during play.

Interesting, but my advice would be to raise the point cost to 2. Or
better still, give them +1 INTL for 2 points, which would have the
same effect and more. You could explain it as "animal cunning".

Aha! So, I guess the 1 point cost of Acute Senses for the character's
human form was a typo? :)

This may be another typo. It costs 2 points for +1 to an Attribute. So
if you really mean to say that ther werewolf form gets +2 PHYS, the
point cost would be 4.

This seems to add up to 11 Advantage points, which is excessive. If it
were me, I'd shave a point by picking ONE Acute Sense (smell, maybe?),
only +1 to PHYS, one point of Natural Weaponry (+2/+1), and one point
of Toughness (+2/+0). That would bring the total down to 6, which is a
lot, but not completely out of control :)

Neat, I like this Disadvantage!

This only adds up to 7 points of Disadvantages. Even given that they
get 2 Advantage points in this form for free from Transformation,
they'd need 9 points of Disadvantages to balance the 11 points of
Advantages you've given them. If you take my advice, and reduce their
Advantages to 6 points, then you'll only need 4 Disadvantage points to
achieve balance.

Sorry, you haven't earned any ridicule. You must try harder.
