Metamorph
The Metamorph is a survivor class in Divinity: Original Sin 2.
“Adapts to dangerous situations with transformational tricks of nature.„
Overview
[edit | edit source]The Metamorph is a shape-shifting melee preset that pairs Polymorph magic with Two-Handed weapon expertise. Polymorph skills transform the caster's body to grow horns, tentacles, or turn enemies into chickens, while Two-Handed proficiency boosts damage with spears and other large weapons. The preset favours Strength and Finesse, and starts with a spear.
Like all classes in Divinity: Original Sin 2, the Metamorph is a starting preset rather than a permanent choice. Attribute and ability points can be allocated freely on each level-up, and full respecification is available from Act Two onward via the magic mirror aboard the Lady Vengeance. Enabling the Fort Joy Magic Mirror gift bag feature also makes a mirror available in Act One.
No origin character uses this preset by default.

Starting skills
[edit | edit source]- Bull Horns (Polymorph)
- Grows horns on the caster's head, unlocking the Bull Rush skill which charges forward and deals physical damage to enemies in the path. Targets without physical armour suffer bleeding. Also grants +1 Retribution for the duration. Incompatible with Medusa Head.
- Chicken Claw (Polymorph)
- Transforms a target without physical armour into a harmless chicken for two turns. Must be cast within 2 metres.
- Tentacle Lash (Polymorph)
- Lashes out with a tentacle, dealing physical damage to a target. Targets without physical armour are afflicted with Atrophy, preventing them from using weapon-based skills.
