School of Transmutation (Revised)

Some transmuters are tinkerers and pranksters, turning people into toads and transforming copper into silver for fun and occasional profit. Others pursue their magical studies with deadly seriousness, seeking the power of the gods to make and destroy worlds..

Transmutation Savant

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

Minor Alchemy

Starting at 2nd level when you select this school, you can temporarily alter the physical properties of one nonmagical object, changing it from one substance into another. If the object does not have the magical property, it now has this property. You perform a special alchemical procedure on one object composed entirely of wood, stone (but not a gemstone), iron, copper, or silver, transforming it into a different one of those materials. For each 10 minutes you spend performing the procedure, you can transform up to 1 cubic foot of material. The effect lasts an hour.

At 10th level, you can transmute wood, stone (but not a gemstone), iron, copper, or silver in adamantine or mithril, even if the object is magical.

Transmuter's Stone

Starting at 6th level, you can spend 8 hours creating a transmuter's stone (which can be as a part of a Long Rest) that stores transmutation magic. You can benefit from the stone yourself or give it to another creature. A creature gains a benefit of your choice as long as the stone is in the creature's possession. When you create the stone, choose the benefit from the following options:

  • Darkvision out to a range of 60 feet

  • An increase to speed of 10 feet while the creature is unencumbered

  • Proficiency in Constitution saving throws

  • Resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage (your choice whenever you choose this benefit)

Each time you cast a transmutation spell of 1st level or higher, you can change the effect of one stone if the stone is on 30 feet of you. At level 14 you can fabricate two stones with same or different options or one stone with two different options.

If you create a new transmuter's stone of your maximum, the latest one ceases to function.

Shapechanger

At 10th level, you add the Polymorph spell to your spellbook, if it is not there already. You can cast Polymorph. When you do so, you can target only yourself and transform into a beast whose challenge rating is 1 or lower. You maintain your mental abilities, replacing your Intelligence, Charisma or Wisdom if they are higher.

You can cast it this way at will.

Master Transmuter

Starting at 14th level, you can use your action to consume the reserve of transmutation magic stored within your transmuter's stone in a single burst. When you do so, choose one of the following effects. Your transmuter's stone is destroyed and can't be remade until you finish a long rest.

  • Major Transformation. You can transmute one nonmagical object – no larger than a 5-foot cube – into another nonmagical object of similar size and mass and of equal or lesser value. You must spend 10 minutes handling the object to transform it.

  • Panacea. You remove all curses, diseases, and poisons affecting a creature that you touch with the transmuter's stone. The creature also regains all its hit points.

  • Restore Life. You cast the Raise Dead spell on a creature you touch with the transmuter's stone, without expending a spell slot or needing to have the spell in your spellbook.

  • Restore Youth. You touch the transmuter's stone to a willing creature, and that creature's apparent age is reduced by 3d10 years, to a minimum of 13 years. This effect doesn't extend the creature's lifespan.
