Through your bloodline, or as a boon from your patron, or deity, or maybe just from social anxiety so acute it has granted you this ability just so you can escape social situations, you have gained the power to change form into a swarm of creatures as a bonus action.
All of your items and possessions are merged into this form.
When in swarm form your consciousness is spread amongst all of the creatures that are a part of it. There are a number of individual creatures equal to your constitution stat. So long as at least one creature is alive you can revert back to your original form, but for each missing creature you will have a corresponding loss of constitution (and HP) until you have finished a long rest.
The type of creature that forms your personal swarm must be chosen the first time this ability is used and is fixed from then on.
Only tiny creatures can be chosen and they must be beasts, with no inherently magical abilities.
If the player wishes to they can opt to become a swarm of insects
In this variation the total number comprising the swarm is five times the constitution score however there is a corresponding risk. If fewer than five of these insects survives the character cannot revert to their true form until they have completed a long rest, and then will be at half of their constitution score until a second long rest has been completed. During this time they cannot make use of the feat at all.
This ability can be used a number of times per short rest equal to your Constitution Modifier +1
