METAMORPH | D&D and Daggerheart Class | + Soul Domain

Sometimes you gotta BECOME the monster to fight the monster.

In more fanciful words:

"Metamorphs are the most bizarre and diverse people in all of the known realms. By practicing the art of transformation they can alter their bodies to achieve versatile and unnerving powers. Metamorphs frequently take inspiration from the world around them when honing their talents. From mimicking monsters and emulating entities to transmuting into rock, water, or even the air itself. Those who gravitate towards the transforming arts often inhabit a delightful hypocrisy; the desire to be one’s true self by becoming something else."

Mechanically:

Transform: You have 12 different monstrous forms to choose from: (
DND | Daggerheart)
- Aberration | Otherworlder
- Construct
- Celestial | Empyrean
- Fiend | Demon
- Dragon
- Elemental
- Fey | Fae
- Giant | Sizeshifter
- Monstrosity
- Ooze | Oozeling
- Plant
- Undead

Each Transformation has a unique and powerful abilities. HOWEVER, due to chaotic and unpredictable nature of changing ones own form, each form comes with a Strain. Strains are thematic limitations showcasing a form's critical weaknesses. Choose wisely <3

Example 1: The Monstrosity in the Daggerheart version of the Metamorph contains the Ability 'Adrenaline Burst'. Its where you can spend a Hope to clear 2 HP AND 2 Stress. However, they also contain the Strain 'Threat', meaning whenever they roll with Hope the GM gains a fear.

Example 2: The Ooze in the Dungeons and Dragons version of the Metamorph contains an Hidden Ability called 'Slimy Salve'. Its where they can provide continuous healing to allies with a Salve they produce! However, their Strain gives them a weakness to Cold Damage!


Subclasses: You have two different subclasses!

- Art of Transmutation: Play the Art of Transmutation if you want to adapt your body to the physical world around you.
- Art of Fusion: Play the Art of Fusion if you want to blend your Transformations to achieve bizarre and wild combinations.
