The races of Kyon discovered space travel and have found a mysterious door in space...


Author's Note: Heavily inspired by Mass Effect, essentially a scenario of DND races advance technology and achieve space travel, meeting an existant galactic society. Peace or war? Your choice. The races of Kyon are preparing to take flight aboard The Wayfarer! A ship specially designed for their maiden voyage beyond the newly discovered Warp Door in their Solar System. No one knows what lies beyond, but you must be ready for anything. IMPORTANT: To start off look at Locations and look at the Setup/Lore. Uncollapse it and you will see Lore and Setup POIs. The lore is to give you background on Kyon and the Galactic Society they meet. The Setups are various scenarios I thought up to get you started. Use @ then the setup you want to get started. Obviously you can do something different if you want. NOTES: - In order to make space combat not boring and work with existing F&F systems, lore-wise every Starship has a "Combat Translator" allowing all party members within a Starship to use their normal combat abilities to participate in a Starship battle. This is one of those, fun gameplay > lore decisions. -All the zones are small due to the galactic scale I was going for and the limitations here. -I found that during travel time (decided to make it take ten days to get from Kyon to the Warp Door) I had to switch it from Adventure Mode to Downtime Mode, otherwise Franz kept just instantly teleporting us everywhere. -Most images of the alien races I had to generate with google gemini.

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.
