Effect

You transform into a Small or Medium animal you have seen. The chosen animal profile determines your form’s movement, senses, natural attacks, and eligible special qualities. You retain your hit points, mental ability scores, class features, and other statistics unless this spell changes them. Apply the form’s size once, including its Size AC adjustment, and add its Natural Armor bonus to Natural Armor AC. The Transformation Rules govern equipment and other form restrictions; use the shared space and confinement rule if the new form cannot fit.

Form size Physical ability adjustment Natural Armor bonus to Natural Armor AC
Small +2 Size bonus to Dexterity +1
Medium +2 Size bonus to Strength +2

The form may grant climb 30 feet, fly 30 feet (average maneuverability), swim 30 feet, darkvision 60 feet, low-light vision, or scent if the chosen animal has that ability. The transformation is a Polymorph spell, not a natural-shifter ability; it does not grant or advance Primal Shifter tiers.

Fox Profile

The Fox is a Small, cat-sized animal form. It gains a +2 Size bonus to Dexterity, a +1 Natural Armor bonus to Natural Armor AC, 40-foot land speed, low-light vision, and Scent 15 feet.

Natural attack Medium base damage Damage types
Bite (main hand) 1d4 Blunt, piercing, and slashing
Claw 1 (off hand) 1d3 Piercing and slashing
Claw 2 (off hand) 1d3 Piercing and slashing

Adjust natural-attack damage to the Fox’s current size using the weapon damage by size table. The Fox profile is a Beast Shape I effect, not a Primal Shifter form or tier.
