Weapon and Armor Proficiency

A metamorph is proficient with all natural attacks. Metamorphs are not proficient with armor.

Morphic Pool

A metamorph possesses an innate pool of bioenergy that fuels their abilities. The maximum capacity of this pool is equal to the metamorph's class levels plus their permanent Constitution modifier. This pool is replenished solely through the consumption of biomass. Temporary increases to Constitution do not affect the pool's capacity.

Spending Morphic Pool points for any ability is a free action.

Biophage

Metamorphs can consume animate tissue for sustenance. They can consume biomass from a helpless creature or a recently deceased creature. Consuming a helpless creature deals damage equal to its Hit Dice per full-round spent. Consuming a recently deceased creature takes a number of rounds equal to its Challenge Rating (CR), provided it has been dead for no longer than CR hours. Each full-round of biomass consumption restores 1 point to the metamorph's morphic pool. Creatures with less than 1 CR require 1 round to consume and restore 1 point.
