Born of the Soil
You learned your magic in a place whose spirits are strong and ancient and they’ve marked you as one of their own. No matter where you go, they live within you and allow you to take their shape.

-
-On a 7-9, gain 2 points of Harmony.
-
-On a 6 or lower, gain 1 point of Harmony and become vulnerable

Shapeshifter
Standard
So long as you are wearing light or no armor, you may take on the physical form of any species whose essence you have studied or who lives in your land: you and your possessions meld into a perfect copy of the species’ form. You have any innate abilities and weaknesses of the form: claws, wings, gills, breathing water instead of air, as long as they don't infringe on another class' move (Example: Ranger's 'Sniff 'em Out'"). Your new animal parts (claws, beak, etc) count as "effective weapons" for the purpose of using Hack&Slash, but they don't have the [precise], [biting], or [bastard] tags. You cannot be disarmed and your armor cannot be removed. You still use your base character stats, but gain no weapon or armor bonuses and cannot cast anything while you're in your animal form. You may however use Harmony, and spend any remaining Harmony as an interrupt move to revert back to your original form. You must be holding a focus, staff, or wand, in order to shapeshift. This is a supernatural effect.
When you shapeshift, choose 2 bonuses:
-
+2 damage in animal form.
-
+2 armor while in animal form.
-
+1 to any one stat while in animal form.
When you shapeshift, choose what category of animal you transform into:
-
Juggernaut: You're nature's bulwark. Turn into a hulking and intimidating protector. Examples: bears, bulls, aurochs, buffalos.
-
While shape-shifted you gain +3 armor
-
-
Striker: You're nature's fury. Turn into a swift and ferocious predator. Examples: wolves, tigers, snakes, hounds, wolverines.
-
While shape-shifted you gain +1 armor and +2 damage.
-
-
Feather Weights: You're nature's symbol of freedom. Turn into an elusive animal. Examples: birds, rodents, lizards, insects.
-
While shape-shifted you gain +2 to Run Away! and +1 to Defy Danger (DEX)
-
Wild Tongue
The grunts, barks, chirps, and calls of the creatures of the wild are as language to you. You can understand any animal native to your land or akin to one whose essence you have studied.
When you gain a level from 2–5, you may choose one of these moves:

A Thousand Faces
Requires: Shapeshifter
You may take not only animal form, but the form of Elves, and Dwarves and other humanoids as well.
