2024 Edition Description
This spell transforms a creature that you can see within range into a new form. An unwilling creature must make a Wisdom saving throw to avoid the effect. The spell has no effect on a shapechanger or a creature with 0 hit points. The transformation lasts for the duration, or until the target drops to 0 hit points or dies. The new form can be any Beast whose challenge rating is equal to or less than the target's challenge rating (or the target's level, if it doesn't have a challenge rating). The target's game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the chosen Beast, but the target retains its alignment, personality, and hit points (current and maximum). The target gains a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to the hit points of the Beast form. These Temporary Hit Points can't be replaced by other Temporary Hit Points. A target reverts to its normal form when it has no more Temporary Hit Points or it dies. If the spell ends before then, the creature loses all its Temporary Hit Points and reverts to its normal form.
