Dinosaur Form ~ Required Score: 8

polymorph, transmutation


  • Duration: 1 minute per Proficiency Score (D)

You transform into a Large animal form. You must have space to expand or the extract is lost. You count as an animal in addition to your normal tags. Your gear is absorbed into you; the constant abilities of your gear still function but you cannot activate them. When you craft this extract, you chose one of the following and gain the attacks, speed(s), and special abilities listed:

Ankylosaurus Speed 25 feet; +1 Deflection bonus to AC; Tail (backswing, reach 10 feet) with a number of d6s bludgeoning damage equal to half your Proficiency Score; Foot with a number of d8s bludgeoning damage equal to half your Proficiency Score.

Brachiosaurus Speed 25 feet; Tail (reach 15 feet) with a number of d6s bludgeoning damage equal to half your Proficiency Score; Foot with a number of d8s bludgeoning damage equal to half your Proficiency Score.

Deinonychus Speed 40 feet; Talon (agile) with a number of d4s piercing damage equal to half your Proficiency Score plus 8 Persistent Damage; Jaws with a number of d10s piercing damage equal to half your Proficiency Score.

Stegosaurus Speed 30 feet; Tail (reach 10) with a number of d12s piercing damage equal to half your Proficiency Score.

Triceratops Speed 30 feet; Horn with a number of d10s piercing damage equal to half your Proficiency Score plus 2d12 Persistent Damage on a critical hit; Foot with a number of d6s bludgeoning damage equal to half your Proficiency Score.

Tyrannosaurus Speed 30 feet; Jaws (deadly (d10), reach 10 feet) with a number of d12s piercing damage equal to half your Proficiency Score; Tail (reach 10 feet) with a number of d8s bludgeoning damage equal to half your Proficiency Score.

You can choose the specific type of animal (such as allosaurus instead of tyrannosaurus). You also gain the following statistics:

  • Add +2 Strength bonus and +2 Dexterity bonus
  • Add +3 Natural Armor bonus to AC (size not included); ignore armor check penalty and reduced Speed.
  • Trained in natural attacks and you gain an extra +4 damage bonus.
  • Gain 10 temporary Hit Points while you have the form.
  • Low-light vision and scent.
  • Gain advantage to Athletics.

These special statistics can be adjusted only by Insight bonuses, Assist bonuses, advantage, and disadvantage. Your battle form prevents crafting extracts, speaking, or using most actions with the manipulate tag that require hands (the GM decides if there is doubt).

Heighten (12, 16, 20): For each level, your form increases in size and, for the first heightening, your attacks gain a 10 foot reach (or 5 more if they started with more). You must have space to expand or the extract is lost. Your Natural Armor bonus increases by 1 but for each size increase you take a size penalty to AC: –1 for Large, –2 for Huge, –4 for Gargantuan, –8 for Colossal; your damage bonus increases by 3; and your temporary Hit Points go up 10.
