Unlock the secrets of Alchemy in MetaMorph! Learn how to harness bioenergy, consume biomass, and rapidly mutate your form to become the ultimate shapeshifter.

The Metamorph is a terror-inducing shapeshifter that excels in close-quarters combat, utilizing a dizzying array of natural weapons. They bond with an interstellar virus, allowing them to remake their forms at will. Metamorphs are Medium-sized, have a d10 Hit Die, and start with 300g.

    Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Proficient with all natural attacks, but not with armor.
  4. 4
    Morphic Pool: An innate pool of bioenergy equal to class levels + Constitution modifier. Refills by consuming biomass. Spending points is a free action.
  5. 5
    Biophage: Can consume biomass from helpless or recently deceased creatures to regain 1 point to the morphic pool per round of consumption. Does not work on creatures smaller than Tiny and is not an evil act.

Tips
  • Consuming biomass is the Metamorph's only way to survive and fuel their abilities.

  • The maximum number of natural attacks increases with Metamorph level.
