The Heart of Beasts
You can briefly change your body to take on different features of a natural beast, using the Morphs of your tier or lower on the list below. Morphs consist of four body parts that can be changed (Head, Chest, Arms, and Legs). Your Morphs allow the use of your weapons and armor as normal.
You are also able to harmlessly sustain a Morph to take the shape of beasts while still speaking as normal. If any Morph is used from the list below, the Morph will fade. Any Morphs described below is encouraged to be flavored to each individual character (For example, the Ram Morph can be flavored into Drag while the character would change their head into the shape of a Bear dragging the adversary to the ground).
Tier 1:
Glide (Chest): You can sprout a set of feathery or leathery wings. Spend a Hope to fly to a point within Close range.Charge (Legs): You can morph a set of hooves to make an unstoppable sprint. Spend a Hope to sprint in a straight line to a point in Far range without making an Agility Roll. If you moved to at least Very Close range and make an attack, it will deal an additional d8 damage.
Stretch (Arms): You can morph your arms into long appendages or tentacles that increase the range of your attacks. Spend a Hope before making a weapon attack that has a range from Melee to Close to extend the range to the next step.
Ram (Head): You can morph your head into a horned beast that dazes or knocks the target over. Spend a Hope before your next attack within Very Close range. If it hits, the target is temporarily Vulnerable.
Weave (Chest): You can morph a set of spider limbs to wrap webbing on your weapon or to fling a ball of webbing to envelop the target. Spend a Hope before your next attack within Very Close range. If it hits, the target is temporarily Restrained.
Hone (Head): You can morph your head or eyes with the senses of a sharp beast. Spend a Hope when making an attack to add +2 to the attack roll.
Rend (Arms): You can morph your hands to grow vicious claws that shred your target. Spend a Hope before your next attack within Very Close range. If it hits, the target is temporarily Bleeding. When Bleeding, only once during their spotlight, anytime an adversary would move they must Mark a Stress.
Lurk (Legs): You can morph your legs into the form of a silent moving beast, such as a feline predator or a slithering snake tail. Spend a Hope to move completely silent up to Far range (an Agility Roll is still required to reach Far range). If you moved to at least Very Close range and make an attack, it will have advantage.
Tier 2:
