The master transmogrifist is asorcerer or wizard who has chosen to specialize in spells thatchange his form. The polymorph spell and other shapechangingtransmutations offer the master transmogrifist the abilityto become a fearsome juggernaut of physical battle, a swiftflyingtraveler, or the perfect spy.Since a character must achieve a significantlevel of competence as an arcane spellcaster toqualify for this prestige class, virtually all whochoose this path are sorcerers or wizards. Of thetwo, sorcerers are more often drawn to the spontaneityand inventiveness offered by the polymorphspell and other spells like it.NPC master transmogrifists delight in demonstratingtheir prowess with their favorite shapes,and are thus sometimes amenable to putting on ashow for powerful kings, wizards, or othertransmogrifists.Adaptation: The favored shapeability already provides structureto this class, but one method to addmore is to decide that a giventransmogrifist must choose acreature type, such as animal.A transmogrifist gains his enhanced shapechanging abilitiesonly for shapes he takes of that creature type, though hecan still take other shapes, too, depending on the spell hecasts. He just doesn’t gain the advantages that accrue fromthis prestige class while in shapes not of his selected type.Hit Die: d4.RequirementsTo qualify to become a master transmogrifist, a charactermust fulfill all the following criteria.Alignment: Any nonlawful.Skills: Bluff 2 ranks, Disguise 5 ranks.Feat: Eschew Materials.Spells: Able to cast alter self and polymorph.Illus. by D.
