Animagus Transformation

You can use your action to magically assume the shape of your animagus form (see Your Animagus Form below). You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

 

Your Animagus Form You can stay in animagus form for a number of hours equal to half your transfiguration level (rounded down). You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

• Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, 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, use the higher bonus.

• When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and hit dice. When you revert, you return to the 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. For example, if you take 10 damage in animagus form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage.

• You can’t cast spells, and the actions you can take are dependent on your beast form’s physical capabilities. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration or prevent actions that are part of an already-cast spell, but Dedication spells end upon transforming.

• You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so.

• Your equipment merges into your new form and has no effect until you leave the form.

When you gain the Animagus Transformation feature, you must decide between the two types of forms: Combat form or Evasion form. This is a permanent, one-time choice and will determine the stats and abilities of your animagus form.
