Action: Instant

Roll Results
Dramatic Failure: The character partially transforms, becoming a clumsy half-human being who suffers a –2 dice penalty to all Strength and Dexterity pools and a –2 dice penalty to Defense and Speed. The botched transformation lasts until the character can take two consecutive turns to shift back.
Failure: The Contract fails, and the character cannot transform.
Success: The character successfully transforms into the correct animal. The character can remain transformed for up to a scene or can choose to revert to her normal form at any time. Transforming back into the normal form requires one turn, and ends the clause’s effects.
The character’s Health alters if her Size and Stamina change. In animal form, the character automatically gains animal senses, exactly as if she had performed the eagle’s gleaming eyes clause. The creature’s Physical Attributes replace the changeling’s, but she retains her Social and Mental Attributes. Her Skills also remain the same. The changeling gains some measure of the animal’s instinctual drives and motor control, so she can run, fly or swim normally. While in animal form, the character can speak all human languages she knows, and can also communicate normally with animals of the species she has become.
Exceptional Success: The character can remain transformed until the sun next rises. If she has taken the form of an animal with a smaller Size than her own, she retains her full Health as if her Size had not changed.
