TRANSFORMATION CARDS

Transformations represent changes or augmentations to characters in Daggerheart. These are optional aspects of a character’s identity that may be given out by the GM during a campaign for narrative purposes. GMs may also present transformations as an option at character creation, at their discretion. Transformations provide both a mechanical benefit and a drawback. As a player, you are responsible for ensuring you track both features, paying special attention to the drawback so that the GM isn’t required to track it for you. Utilizing transformation cards requires you to buy into the concept of the exchange, taking on the burden to also reap the benefit. When you gain a transformation, add the card to your loadout as if it were an aspect of your heritage. Like ancestry and community cards, it does not count against your domain card limit. Consider how this change augments your character both physically and psychologically. Use the transformation questions in the applicable section to explore its affects on your character, or make up your own. You can only have one transformation per PC.
