A Mythian Changeling can change into an animal form.
A changeling will start out with two forms
- Human
- Animal
Human Form:
In human form you may choose extra characteristics to show you are more than human. These characteristics are just for looks and can not be used as an advantaged. Some recommended characteristics are being extra hairy, different eyes, scales, skin color.

Beast form:
You may choose one animal change into to start.
This is an actual animal avatar :wolf, horse, cat, bird.. you can choose anything as long as it is an animal you character would know. (This is not a human/animal cross avatar)

- You start off being able to shift into one animal. (As you level up you will gain more options. More information below)
- When you shift you get the abilities of the animal you shift into. Example: if you turn into a bird you have their eye sight and fly.
- Understanding and Knowledge: In animal form you will retain all your knowledge and your ability to understand spoken language (the longer you remain in the animal form, the less you will understand See *limitations)
- Accelerated healing in animal form (In animal form your healing will take half the time to heal)
- Takes two post to shift. The Shifting process is very painful, therefore the changeling become very feral during the change. Think a hurt animal. They will not attack a person during a shift but if they are attack, they will defend themselves in a violent manner. (+ 2 to the dice roll if an attack during the shift happens for a defensive purposes).
- Shifting does cause you to be tired. Therefore the amount of time you can shift in a day is limited.
- Starting out a player may shift twice a day. Human to animal and then back to human.
- When you shift you shift naked. Clothing is not part of the shifting process.
- Shifting is exhausting.
- If you get hurt in animal form you will have that same injury when you revert to human. (the injury location should be in a similar location when you switch back to human)
- Lasting Animal form - The longer the person stays in animal form the less human they become. You are fine in animal form for up to 8 hours.
16 hours: A strong Desire to remain in animal form begins
24 hours: medium slips ( forgetting full sentences, the feeling of
48 hours (2 days) : your humanity will be gone. You will be that animal.
If you are trapped in your animal form it can be healed. One of the Mythian healers may be able to revert a changeling back to their human form. As and animal you will not be able to ask for help so you will need a friend to help you get to the healer. If this happens more than three times or you are
stuck in animal form for a week or more the healers will not be able to save you.
A side effect of this is that when you are brought back you will have a lingering piece of the animal you are stuck in. This lingering piece will not be an advantage. Example: If you turned into a cat then you may be stuck with a cat nose and whiskers. This will last at a minimum the number of days you were stuck as an animal. Up to a week.
KNOW YOUR ANIMALS
As you level up your character will need to be familiar with the animals in order to become that animal. Your character may only become animals he/she is aware of.
Over the centuries, the Mythians have been collecting information from the humans as they arrive on the island. This information is kept in the Mythian library. This includes drawings, paintings and writings about the different animal life. The animals are indigenous to the areas the people have come from. (Europe, Middle East etc).
There is a library in the Town and Village. Visiting these locations and in-character learning about new animals will increase the animals you can turn into and help you level up.

- Reverting back to human will not longer count as a shift but you will be tired.

Note to player
On level 3 you are able to change into the other beast on the island. In these forms you will not gain the powers or abilities those beast have you just have their appearance.
Example: A changeling turn into a Minotaur will be smaller and not as strong as real Minotaur.
A changeling can turn into a satyr but will not have the mental powers.
