Chapter 667 Multiple Transformations
Hunting Shark (Large Animal): Natural Defense +4, swim 60 feet; Str 22, Dex 15, Con 16; keen sense of smell, alert.
Large Octopus (Large Animal): Natural Defense +7, crawl 20 feet/swim 30 feet; Str 20, Dex 15, Con 13; grabs, spits ink cloud (20-foot spread).
Dire Crocodile (Large Animal): Natural Defense +8, crawl 20 ft./swim 30 ft.; Str 27, Dex 12, Con 21; amphibious, alert, grabbing.
The third category is flying animals.
There are very few large birds in nature, and their attributes and capabilities are generally weaker than those of terrestrial and aquatic animals.
Gao Fei rummaged through the monster manual for a long time, and the "giant eagle" and "giant crow" that he first spotted appeared to be birds, but in fact they were magical beasts that were not inferior to humans in intelligence, beyond the scope of wild transformation. .
After picking and choosing, only one Dire Bat was okay.
Dire Bat (Large Animal): Natural Defense +5, fly 40 feet; Str 17, Dex 20, Con 17; blindsight, alertness.
Dire bats cannot actually be considered birds, but that doesn't matter, as long as they can fly.
Finally, there is the large plant. There is only one best choice, which is the upgraded version of "Killer Vine" - the creeping monster!
Scrambler (large plant): Natural Defense +11; Str 23, Dex 10, Con 20; Climb/swim 20 ft.; absorb electricity, fire/cold resistance 10; blindsight, improved trip, multiattack (2 times 15-foot vine swing/trip).
…
Gao Fei looked at "Wild Transformation" and then at "Master of Disguise", and suddenly he had an idea and thought of a "new way to play the boat"!
Druid's "Wild Transformation" can temporarily change species types. So what will happen if a layer of "Transformation" is added to the "Wild Transformation"?
Ah...this familiar feeling...this damn sweet smell...
That's right, Gao Fei has keenly grasped the possibility of "free prostitution"!
His little brain is only able to make such a leap at the level of opportunism.
Imagine using "Wild Transformation" to turn yourself into a ferocious bear.
At this time, Goofy's species type has changed from "humanoid (human)" to "animal (violent subspecies)".
Then, next, in the form of a dire bear, he can use the "Transformation Technique" to transform into any medium to super large animal, such as... a dire bat.
After the transformation, Goofy maintains the physical attributes and talents of the dire bear form, while also gaining the dire bat's natural defense, flying ability, and two specialties of "blind vision" and "alertness."
After completing the above operations, Goofy appears to be a dire bat, but actually has the power of a dire bear!
Except for the natural defense being weakened by 3 points, it is almost like a flying bear with a strength attribute of 31, disguised as a bat!
According to the above example, an infinite variety of "multiple transformations" can be combined, and each one can learn from its strengths to offset its weaknesses as needed.
For example: Dire Crocodile (Wild Transformation) + Dire Bat (Transformation)
Isn't it an all-powerful super monster with three habitats: water, land, and air? !
But don’t get too fancy yet.
The question is, is the above-mentioned multiple transformation operation really feasible?
To put it bluntly, according to the normal spell-casting process, this kind of operation is impossible.
The reason is simple.
When Goofy transforms into an animal form, he loses the ability to speak, and his forelimbs are often not as flexible as human fingers.
If you can't speak, you can't chant spells.
The clumsy bear paw can't make any spell-casting gestures.
How to perform the "Transformation Technique"?
There are no conventional solutions.
For example, with the help of the two metamagic feats "Spell Silent Cast" and "Spell Fixed Cast", you can eliminate the need for spells and gestures in the spell casting process.
Even simpler, if you become a part-time Druid or learn a "Wild Spellcasting" feat, you can replace chanting incantations with the roars of beasts and the rustling of plant leaves, and wave animal claws, tails or branches to simulate spellcasting gestures.
A high-flying imitator can still perform the "Transformation Technique" in beast form without learning these specialties.
Because his "Transformation Technique" is obtained through the professional ability "Master of Disguise", it does not require spells, gestures and casting materials. It is equivalent to having three items: "silent hair", "fixed hair" and "free materials". Metamagic feats.
In addition to animal and plant forms, Goofy can also use the "Druid Mask" to transform into the four elements of water, fire, wind and earth.
"Multiple transformations" also apply to elemental forms.
Assuming that he first becomes a "medium wind elemental", the species type will change from human to elemental creature.
Next, it is logical to activate "Master of Disguise" and transform into any small to large elemental creature, such as fire element.
Wind element + fire element, and then switch to whirlwind form, it can become a "fire tornado"!
Based on this further deduction, "giant transformation" or "shrinking" can also be integrated to finally achieve "triple transformation"!
Gao Fei also thought that the effect of "Transformation" could be shared with animal companions, paladin mounts and familiars.
In this way, wouldn't it be possible to include Brother Niu and Pearl into the above-mentioned "multiple transformations" system?
The Celestial Bull is a large "magical beast" with a subspecies of "animal" and can transform into medium to very large animals or magical beasts.
Gao Fei can use a "Transfiguration" to transform Niu Ge into a shark lizard beast with natural defense +12 and proficient in burrowing, or a griffin that can fly and "swoop".
Transforming Niu Ge into a magical beast is too much, let's take it easy and transform Niu Ge into a super-large animal, such as a Triceratops with natural defense 11 and three talents of "robustness", "endurance" and "powerful charge", just like upgrading a jeep into a tank!
The same operation is applied to magical pets.
Pearl's biological classification belongs to "strange (beholder subspecies)".
Unfortunately, Gao Fei lacks knowledge of beholders and strange creatures, and can't think of any new tricks Pearl can do for the time being.
Miss Lisa participated in the incident of catching the shapeshifter undercover, and also got a level up, promoted to level 6 judge.
HP +7, attribute +1 (perception 21).
Learned the professional ability "telepathy".
Within 120 feet, you can communicate with any intelligent creature mentally.
At level 6, "Judgment" can also learn a 2nd-ring divine spell. Lisa chose the most practical "Attribute Enhancement".
After passing this chapter perfectly, Gao Fei got a reward profession, which is Major Henry Frame's "Arcane Knight".
The three candidate reward feats are all seen before, "Strong", "Iron Will" and "Brutal Strike".
There is nothing to hesitate about. Gao Fei can only choose "Brutal Strike" to increase a melee weapon damage dice, which is upright and simple.
According to the prior agreement, Mrs. Dreyfus paid Gao Fei a commission of 7,000 gold pounds, plus a "small gift" worth no less than 7,000 gold pounds-a pair of magic boots.
