New Talents

Animagus (Tier 2)
Tier: 2
When this talent is purchased, the character is assigned an animal form. The character has no say in the form as it comes as an expression of their inner self. At any point, the character may change to or from their animal form as an action. While in their animal form, their Brawn and Agility are replaced by the animal's characteristics; the character's other characteristics stay as is.

Most animal traits can be found here. While in animal form, you gain any attacks they have listed. If your animal has a skill listed, you get an upgrade to your ability dice when rolling that skill in animal form. If your animal form is not listed, we'll discuss stats and abilities.

Tier: 5
