It's wonderfully goofy when your party's newly 'Crowtouched' tank just suddenly has a big feathery face.

Developer: Worldwalker. Watching your heroes grow up, fall in love, claim magical treasures, and discover ancient secrets is a joy. But the most fun of all is when one of them gets their head replaced with a wolf's.

Certain key events during a campaign can trigger what Wildermyth calls a"transformation" in a hero. Whether it's being cursed by a witch, getting a growing crystal embedded in their eye, or feeling the call of a primal forest spirit, these events leave a permanent mark on your hero, turning them into something both more and less than human.

Transformations don't happen all at once. They replace body parts over time, piece by piece. Many of them start at the head, which is brilliant—it's wonderfully goofy when your party's newly"Crowtouched" tank just suddenly has a big feathery face, a giant beak, and an appropriately surprised expression.

It adds a lovely layer to the game's already rich narrative tapestry—any hero with a transformation is instantly more memorable, and their increasingly strange presence in story scenes gives any campaign a great oddball feel. And it gives you fun new toys to play with in combat, too. Many transformed parts grant new abilities, traits, and attacks.

Most transformations are optional—gaining them is usually a clearly telegraphed choice, and usually it's up to you whether they progress during the downtime between adventures. But they might as well be mandatory to me, because never in a million years will I deny one of my heroes the right to literal bear arms. As far as I'm concerned, getting as many of my adventurers looking as weird as possible is the goal of Wildermyth.
