Beastmorph

Beastmorphs study the anatomy of monsters, learning how they achieve their strange powers. They use their knowledge to duplicate these abilities, but at the cost of taking on inhuman shapes when they use mutagens.

Beastform Mutagen

At 3rd level, a beastmorph’s mutagen causes them to take on animalistic features—whether those of an animal, a magical beast, an animal-like humanoid (such as a lizardfolk), or a monstrous humanoid. For example, when the beastmorph uses their mutagen, they may gain a furry muzzle and pointed ears like a werewolf, scaly skin like a lizardfolk or sahuagin, or compound eyes and mandibles like a giant insect. The beastmorph also gains their choice of one of the abilities listed in the alter self spell, which persists as long as the mutagen. They may select a different ability each time they create a mutagen.

This ability replaces swift alchemy.

Improved Beastform Mutagen

At 6th level, a beastmorph’s mutagen grants them additional abilities and options. The alchemist gains their choice of two of the abilities listed in the beast shape I spell, which persist as long as the mutagen. They may select two different abilities each time they create a mutagen.

This ability replaces swift poisoning.

Greater Beastform Mutagen

At 10th level, a beastmorph’s mutagen grants them three of the abilities listed in the beast shape II spell, which persist as long as the mutagen. They may select three different abilities each time they create a mutagen.

This ability replaces poison resistance +2, +4, and +6, as well as poison immunity.

Grand Beastform Mutagen

At 14th level, a beastmorph’s mutagen grants them four of the abilities listed in the beast shape III spell, which persist as long as the mutagen. They may select four different abilities each time they create a mutagen.

This ability replaces persistent mutagen.
