Beast Within

Beast Within is a simple magic technique that Umbra Witches use to transform into selective animals. Please look these monsters up in the Monster Manual as reference for this monster.

Panther Within: The Witch takes the form of a black "Panther" and is usually used for quick movements.

Crow Within: The Witch takes the form of a black "Crow" and is usually used for flight and to use Mimicry to distract or trick people. (Look up Raven as a Reference)

Bat Within: The Witch takes the form of a "Swarm of Bats" and is usually used to help maneuver around enemies and to overwhelm a single target.

Snake Within: The Witch takes the form of a "Snake" to help swim in the water easily and to restrain their enemies in their coils. (Look up Constrictor Snake as a Reference)

The transformation lasts for the duration, until they dispel, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. The target's game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen beast. It retains its alignment and personality. The target assumes the hit points of its new form. When it reverts to its normal form, the creature returns to the number of hit points it had before it transformed. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to its normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce the creature's normal form to 0 hit points, it isn't knocked unconscious.

The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can't speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech.

The target's gear melds into the new form. The creature can't activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.
