Reviewed: pending

You use magic to mold yourself into a new form. Choose one of the options below. Until the spell ends, you can use an action to choose a different option.

* **Amphibian:** Your body takes on aquatic adaptations. You can breathe underwater normally and gain a swimming speed equal to your base Speed.
* **Altered State:** You decide what you look like.

None of your gameplay statistics change but you can alter anything about your body's appearance, including but not limited to: your heritage, 1 foot of height, weight, clothing, tattoos, piercings, facial features, sound of your voice, hair style and length, skin and eye coloration, sex, and any other distinguishing features. You cannot become a creature of a different size category, and your limb structure remains the same; for example if you're bipedal, you can't use this spell to become a quadruped. Until the spell ends, you can use an action to change your appearance.
* **Red in Tooth and Claw:** You grow magical natural weapons of your choice with a +1 bonus to attack and damage. Your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage of a type determined by the natural weapon you chose; for example a tentacle deals bludgeoning, a horn deals piercing, and claws deal slashing.
