Gildhaven

kormole

A magical world under human rule. Will you stand with the empire or fight in the rising rebellion?

Author's Note: 1. The World of Gildhaven Welcome to Gildhaven, a world rich with magic, diverse kingdoms, and a simmering rebellion. As you step into this world, remember that it is one of contrasts—where ancient powers fight against the iron rule of an ever-expanding human empire. You are entering a land where the oppressed dream of freedom and the powerful struggle to maintain control. 2. Magic and the Empire Magic is a force feared and misunderstood by many, especially within the human empire. While the empire has thrived by controlling knowledge, technology, and the flow of power, magic still stirs in hidden corners of the world. Keep in mind, magic is not widely embraced by the empire's citizens, and those who wield it can be seen as a threat. 3. The Rebellion The winds of rebellion are beginning to stir. Many across Gildhaven seek to challenge the empire's dominance and free those under its rule. There are secret organizations, underground movements, and even those among the empire’s ranks who seek change. Your characters’ choices will shape the outcome of this rebellion, for better or worse. 4. Character Connections In this world, your characters' actions and alliances matter. How you interact with the people you meet, from the oppressed to the powerful, will have lasting consequences. Loyalty, betrayal, and the search for freedom will shape your journey. 5. Themes to Keep in Mind As you play, remember that Gildhaven is a world on the edge of change. The struggle between tyranny and freedom, power and the powerless, is at the heart of the story. Think about the ideals that drive your character—do they fight for their freedom, for justice, or something else entirely? 6. Expect the Unexpected The world of Gildhaven is full of mystery, ancient secrets, and strange forces. Be prepared to encounter things that challenge your character’s beliefs, test their morals, and force them to make tough decisions. In this world, nothing is ever quite what it seems.

Transmutation•Level 9

Description

You assume the form of a different creature for the duration. The new form can be of any creature with a challenge rating equal to your level or lower. The creature can't be a construct or an undead, and you must have seen the sort of creature at least once. You transform into an average example of that creature, one without any class levels or the Spellcasting trait. Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the chosen creature, though you retain your alignment and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus listed in its statistics is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus in place of yours. You can't use any legendary actions or lair actions of the new form. You assume the hit points and Hit Dice of the new form. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. If you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious. You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them, provided that your new form is physically capable of doing so. You can't use any special senses you have (for example, darkvision) unless your new form also has that sense. You can only speak if the creature can normally speak. When you transform, you choose whether your equipment falls to the ground, merges into the new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal. The DM determines whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change shape or size to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge into your new form. Equipment that merges has no effect in that state. During this spell's duration, you can use your action to assume a different form following the same restrictions and rules for the original form, with one exception: if your new form has more hit points than your current one, your hit points remain at their current value.
