Change Shape ◆ (arcane, concentrate, polymorph) The faydhaan transforms into a Small or Medium water elemental, aquatic animal, or humanoid. This doesn't affect their statistics, but it could change the damage type of their Strikes.

Gift of Hospitality ◆◆◆ (arcane, emotion, mental) The faydhaan gives another willing creature a magical gift or an agreeable conversation. The creature gains a +2 status bonus to Society and Diplomacy checks. A creature can't have more than one gift at a time, and a faydhaan can't grant more than one gift at a time.

The gift ends if the target acts hostile, or if the faydhaan renounces the recipient (a single action).

Effect: Gift of Hospitality

Skewer ◆ The faydhaan makes a trident Strike, dealing an extra 2d6 persistent bleed damage on a hit (4d6 on a critical hit).
