Elva

I
IttyBitty

Elva is a vast world of unrealised potential, her inhabitants forgotten by their Gods.


Author's Note: Elva was once a world filled with the presence and recognition of Gods, of whom were active in the lives of the mortals who inhabited the lands. The world is filled wth life from blistering deserts, bubbling swamps, cavernous mountains, serene beaches, mysterious forests, and everything else in between. Elva, once named after the Goddess of life and earth, was the pride of the dieties and the inhabitants, while they did war, respected their dieties. However, like with most things, all good things must come to an end and Elva fell from favor from the Gods one by one. Why? Nobody knew. Had the Dieties grown bored? Had the peoples offended them? Was the world corrupted? Were the dieties held captive? Or perhaps, somehow, the magic of the world was dying? While a large population had grown used to a world without dieties, a devout populace was desperately trying to find their dieties and uncover why they all disappeared. Will you live the life of a villager trying to make ends meet? Maybe you are an adventurer looking for gems and forgotten treasures. Have you taken an interest in archeological discoveries? Perhaps you are a prince or princess trying to find love or trying to navigate the politics of an arranged marriage? Or... maybe... you are one of the few who are searching for the Gods and yearning for the day they return? The world is for you to discover.

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.
