Brown-Fur Transmuter

Frequently called “brown-furs,” these transmutation-focused arcanists are known for transforming themselves into animals. What few realize is that these specialized arcanists excel at turning themselves—and others—into all kinds of creatures.

The brown-fur transmuter is an archetype of the arcanist class.

Powerful Change (Su)

At 3rd level, the brown-fur transmuter learns to harness the power of their magic to empower their transmutations. Whenever the brown-fur transmuter casts a transmutation spell using one of their arcanist spell slots, they can expend 1 point from their arcane reservoir as a Free Action to bolster the spell. If the spell grants a bonus to an ability score, the bonus then increases by 2. If it grants a bonus to more than one ability score, only one of the ability scores gains this bonus. The brown-fur transmuter cannot expend more than 1 point from their arcane reservoir in this way.

This ability replaces the arcanist exploit gained at 3rd level.

Share Transmutation (Su)

At 9th level, the brown-fur transmuter can target others with their transmutation spells. A brown-fur transmuter can expend 1 point from their arcane reservoir to change any transmutation spell with a range of personal to a range of touch. Such a spell automatically fails on unwilling creatures.

This ability replaces the arcanist exploit gained at 9th level.

Transmutation Supremacy (Su)

At 20th level, the brown-fur transmuter learns to fully master the power of transmutation. Whenever they cast a transmutation spell, it is treated as if it were affected by the Extend Spell feat without altering the casting time or slot used. (They cannot then alter its duration again with the Extend Spell feat). Whenever they use their powerful change ability, the bonus increases by 4 instead of 2. Their share transmutation ability can now target a willing creature within 30 feet.

This ability replaces magical supremacy.
