Shifter

Lucid Jack

Mark Description

"The Jack never spent more than a minute in the same shape, shifting from lizard, to tiger, to some sort of mech warrior as they bit, clawed and blasted their way through my Occupants."

Overview

The Shifter has trained to manipulate their own body to take on the shapes of all manner of animals. They use these forms to survive the obscure environments that dreams can potentially through at them.

The shifter relies on a list of potential forms they can shift into found at the bottom of this page.

The shifter may decide not to use a weapon, this allows them to focus on having an additional body part that can be changed at any one.

Passives

The Shifter is constantly morphing parts of their body to adapt to the dream.

Once per round, the shifter may change a body part into one on the Shifter List. The maximum number of body parts that can be changed at any one time is equal to the shifters level. The Shifter may forgo taking a weapon and having a regular attack to increase the maximum number by one.

The Shifter has envisioned a tail that can also shift into other forms.

Gain a tail. It has no effect until it changes into something from the Shifter List.

The Shifter has learned to control an additional limb.
