Granted by Aerial Form

You transform into a Medium flying animal battle form. You gain the animal trait, and gain the following statistics and abilities regardless of which battle form you choose:

  • AC = 18 + your level. Ignore your armor's check penalty and Speed reduction.
  • 5 temporary Hit Points.
  • Low-light vision.
  • One or more unarmed melee attacks specific to the battle form you choose, which are the only attacks you can Strike with. You're trained with them. Your attack modifier is +16, and your damage bonus is +5. These attacks are Dexterity based (for the purpose of the Clumsy condition, for example). If your attack modifier for Dexterity-based unarmed attacks is higher, you can use it instead.
  • Acrobatics modifier of +16, unless your own modifier is higher.

You also gain specific abilities based on the form you choose:

  • Bat

    • Speed 20 feet, fly Speed 30 feet; precise echolocation 40 feet;
    • Melee 1 fangs, Damage 2d8 piercing;
    • Melee 1 wing (agile), Damage 2d6 bludgeoning.

Heightened (5th) Your battle form is Large and your fly Speed gains a +10-foot status bonus. You must have enough space to expand into or the spell is lost. You instead gain 10 temporary HP, attack modifier +18, damage bonus +8, and Acrobatics +20.

Heightened (6th) Your battle form is Huge, your fly Speed gains a +15-foot status bonus, and your attacks have 10-foot reach. You must have enough space to expand into or the spell is lost. You instead gain AC = 21 + your level, 15 temporary HP, attack modifier +21, damage bonus +4 and double damage dice (including persistent damage), and Acrobatics +23.
