Transform
As a Ditto, you possess the uncanny ability to alter your physical form in order to mimic a beast or object that you can see. At 1st level, you can use yor action to transform from your original form into a known creature of your choice that is not an undead or construct. The CR of the creature or object does not matter, but you can only use this feature for 5 minutes, but you don’t have to use this all at once. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.
While you are transformed, the following rules apply:
- Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You gain the skill and saving throw proficiencies of the creature. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can only use them once.
- If you transform into something with a level, you only gain features granted to them at or before your current level, any features with a choice (like fighting styles or archetypes) give you the option they chose.
- You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your new form. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell that you've already cast.
- Your equipment merges into your new form, becoming unusable until you revert to your original form.
You retain expended uses after a long rest.

Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, 18th, and 20th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1.

- • Spell attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your Charisma modifier
