Consciousness may be shared or preserved: Integration is permanent; death is optional.


Author's Note: Step into Armiron, where consciousness is currency and your Φ shapes destinies. Ancient forests murmur with sentient thought; city‑minds pulse with shared memory. Will you defend individuality as a Severant or surrender self to the Integrated? Every ritual, every alliance tests the price of unity—and the meaning of free will. MAJOR FACTIONS • Severants (preserve selfhood; mnemonic rituals) • Integrated (shared minds; empathy at cost of freedom) • Liminal Court (arbiters of balance; secret agendas) KEY FACTS & FEATURES • 45 distinct locales: from the silent anti‑Φ sanctuaries of the Thoughtless Hall to the humming chaos of the Fracture Docks. • 8 boss encounters: Keeper of the Ash Gate, Decayed Guardian, Harbinger of Doom, and more. • Φ mechanics: measure or manipulate Φ to merge minds, erase pain, amplify collective power—or defend against forced integration. • Moral axis: isolation vs unity, with complex shades in between. PLAYSTYLE OPTIONS • Intrigue & Investigation: infiltrate the Red Ledger House, decode inverted sigils, unearth Court plots. • Exploration & Survival: brave the Ash Gate’s realm of regret; gather ancient stones, wind‑whispers, sky‑tears. • Combat & Ritual: wield Φ‑imbued blades, duel Decayed Guardians, perform healing or shattering rites. • Roleplay & Philosophy: debate free will vs determinism, parley with a god‑mind, decide who controls consciousness. GM TIP Start with Generate Areas and Generate Points of Interest switched off to ensure the campaign doesn't drift off into generic fantasy story-telling that doesn't relate to free will and consciousness.

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.
