Polymorph

Expert Alteration Spell ( Arcane )

Description:
This spell transforms a creature that you can see within range into a new form. You must overcome an unwilling creature's personality defense to inforce this effect. The spell has no effect on creatures with a shapechanger or wild shape ability, or a creature making death saving throws.

The target gains bonus stamina equal to the stamina of its new form. The new form can be any beast whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target’s (or the target’s level, if it doesn’t have a challenge rating). For each interval your weave check exceeds your spell completion by 4, you may select a beast whose CR is 1 additional level higher. The target’s game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast. It retains its alignment and personality.

The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can’t speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech. The target’s gear melds into the new form. The creature can’t activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment. The transformation lasts for the duration, or until the target loses all of its bonus stamina.

Augments: (Requires Expertise)
Effects and changes by increasing complexity.

• Tie off the Weave [+4] : (Transmuter Only) You can tie off the weave of a polymorph spell that has yourself as the target. When you use this augment, the spell no longer requires concentration to maintain and lasts until the duration expires or the bonus stamina is depleted.


• Enhanced Form [+3] : (Transmuter Only) You make subtle changes to the target creature's form to increase its lethality. You add your proficiency modifier to the damage caused by the new form's strikes.
