Transmuter (Mage Kit)¶
A Mage who specializes in magic that alters physical reality — polymorphs, haste, stoneskin, and shape-shape transformations.
Advantages¶
- May memorize one additional spell of each level per day (once that level is unlocked).
- Specializes in the Alteration school.
Disadvantages¶
- Opposed schools: Abjuration, Necromancy — cannot scribe or cast any spell from these schools.
When to pick it¶
- Alteration is one of the broadest schools, covering Haste, Stoneskin, Polymorph Self, Tenser's Transformation, and Time Stop.
- Losing Abjuration removes most of the dispel-and-counter toolkit — you'll rely on other casters for Remove Magic and Spell Shield.
