[Thieves' Spoils] Belt of Monstrous Shapes (Patreon)

Belt of Monstrous Shapes

Wondrous item, rare (optional attunement by a druid)

Component: pouch of monstrosity (owlbear) feathers

“The distinction between ‘beast’ and ‘monstrosity’ remains largely arbitrary and tenuous, and no more so than in the case of the owlbear. Despite their unnatural origins, owlbears possess no innate magical abilities and have integrated seamlessly into local ecosystems. I therefore posit that druids should be able to assume the shape of one like they do a beast’s, and that it would be totally badass if they did.”

- Excerpt from What Makes a Monster?, by Prof. Ahul Behr, Naturalist

Monstrous Shapeshift. While wearing this belt, you can cast the polymorph spell on yourself to transform into one of the following creatures: an ankheg, a griffon, a hippogriff, or an owlbear. Once this property of the belt has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Optional Attunement. If you are a druid, you can choose to attune to this item and can use the Wilder Shape property while you remain attuned to it.

OA: Wilder Shape. When you use your Wild Shape feature while wearing this belt, you can choose to transform into one of the creatures listed in the Monstrous Shapeshift property. You must still abide by the other restrictions of Wild Shape, such as flying speed and maximum CR. However, if you are a druid of 8th level or higher, you can expend two uses of Wild Shape at once to transform into an ankheg or a griffon, even if that creature’s CR is above your maximum.

---------------------------------------

Uncommon variant: Remove the griffon and owlbear from the options listed in the Monstrous Shapeshift and Wilder Shape properties.
