School of Polymorphism

## School of Polymorphism

*"A scholarly magic-user capable of manipulating the structures of reality."* - Player Handbook.

### Polymorphism Savant

Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, the time you must spend to copy a transmutation spell into your spellbook is halved.

### Primal Shaping

Starting at 2nd level when you choose this school, you can temporarily alter the physical form of a creature into another. You learn the *primal savagery* ^XGtE,^ ^pg.163^ cantrip, which counts as a wizard cantrip for you, and does not count against your number of cantrips known.

When you cast a transmutation spell from the wizard spell list on a creature, you must roll on the **Metamorph** table and the creature gains the resulting effect for the duration of the spell. A creature can only have two effects on them at once.

Once you reach 5th level, you select twenty effects from the Metamorph table and roll from that pool of effects. When you finish a long rest, you may reselect any amount of effects up to your new maximum. This becomes twelve effects at 9th level, ten at 11th, eight at 13th, six at 15th, and four at 17th.

### Experimental Form

Starting at 6th level, you can use your action to expend a spell slot and transform your familiar, from a *find familiar* spell, into a new form. The form is as beast with either the head or limbs (wings and tail included) of another beast. You must have seen both beasts before and must be CR 1 or lower.

The familiar stays in the experimental form for a number of hours equal to half your wizard level (rounded down), returning to its original form at the end of the duration. Otherwise, the familiar automatically reverts if it drops to 0 hit points, dies, or if you lose concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). You can revert the transformation as a bonus action on your turn.

While the familiar is transformed, the following rules apply:

- The familiar's game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the first beast, but they retain their alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. They also retain all of their skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the first beast. If the first beast has same proficiency bonus as the previous creature, it uses the first beast's proficiency bonus instead. The creature then loses the attack actions and speed(s) of the first beast. It then gains the attack actions, any speed(s), senses, and traits of the second creature.
- When the familiar is transformed, it assumes the first beast's hit points and Hit Dice. When it revert to normal, the familiar returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. If the familiar reverted back due to damage, any excess damage is dealt to its original form.
- The transformed familiar can't cast spells. The familiar may still talk, if it had the capability beforehand, but it is creepy and unnatural. Any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of the second beast's traits.
- When the familiar is transformed, it gains the *Hybrid Nature* trait. The familiar counts as a beast and monstrosity. It can be affected by an effect if it works on either of its creature types.
- The transformed familiar is still considered a familiar and retains all of the traits and effects it and its master had through the *find familiar* spell.
- You choose whether the familiar's equipment falls to the ground in their space, merges into the new form, or is worn by the new form. Worn equipment functions as normal, but does not change size to fit the new creature.

You can cast *primal savagery* as an action through your familiar while they are transformed this way.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

### Monstrous Metamorphosis

Beginning at 10th level, with your research on combining beasts, you feel prepared to further testing. Your Experimental Form feature can now replace one beast choice with either an aberration, monstrosity, ooze, or plant creature you have seen before that is CR 1 or lower.

Additionally, the familiar's Hit Dice are doubled for the duration of the transformation.

### Fleshwright

Starting at 14th level,

***Meld Flesh.*** ___ targets two adjacent creatures, who must each make a DC X Constitution saving throw. If both fail, they meld into one gestalt entity, shedding any armour they were wearing. The gestalt entity is Medium and has hit points equal to the sum of their hit points, has ability scores equal to the higher of each score, and inherits any conditions of the targets. The new entity is treated as an individual in combat, but can take any action that either original target could take. At the end of each round, the two targets can make DC X Constitution saving throws to revert to their original forms (still sans armour), but both targets must succeed in order to end the effect. Otherwise, the effect ends after [time period].
