Whenever it fails the save it takes an additional 1d6 piercing damage and if it succeeds the effect ends.
Dark Metamorphosis
At 6th level, As an action you can transform into a twisted, abominable form of plants. You pick one of the Metamorphosis options. You can use this feature once. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Your Warlock Level determines some of the statistics of this transformation. You can stay in this form for number of hours equal to your warlock level. You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.
While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
- Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the form, but you retain your hitpoints, armor class, alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma, Constitution scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the form. Your Desterity and Strength scores only stay the same if they are greater than the form's scores.
- When you transform, you gain temporary hitpoints shown on the forms block. These are lost if you end the transformation.
- You can cast spells, however your ability take any action that requires hands or cast spells that require somatic components is limited to the capabilities of your form.
- You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so.
- You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the forms shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
- Damage dealt by the form's attacks are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
