Message: <blockquote data-quote="Christian Hoffer" data-source="post: 9717051" data-attributes="member: 6926473">[ATTACH=full]412709[/ATTACH]Daggerheart is testing out a new Transformation mechanic that allows players to incorporate several classic monster types into their player character. The new mechanic debuted on the game's <a href="https://www.daggerheart.com/thevoid/" target="_blank">"The Void" playtest page</a> this afternoon. Six transformations are included, featuring werewolves, vampires, ghosts, reanimated, shapeshifters, and demigods.Unlike ancestries or backgrounds, transformations are add-on character traits that can either be given out by the GM for narrative purposes or can be used in base character creation. Each transformation has a mechanical benefit and a drawback, both of which the player is responsible for tracking. For instance, the Vampire has to feed in order or make rolls with disadvantage, while werewolves have a Wolf form that has an extra damage dice but eventually triggers a Frenzy that attacks both friends and foes within range. Reanimated characters can only clear Hit Points if they have access to recently deceased remains, but they can permanently mark a Hit Point when they Risk It All on a death die. Shapeshifters can swap ancestries with another, but they only gain the benefit of one ancestry feature, ghosts have a Spirit Form that makes them immune to physical damage but eventually become ephemeral and dissipate, and Demigods have a higher tier Advantage die but grant the GM an additional Fear when they roll with fear unless they mark a stress.Daggerheart has released several playtests in recent months, mostly featuring new classes and a new domain.Players can only have one transformation per character and they do not count.[MEDIA=youtube]NtWDYc0YitE[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
