“

Adapts to dangerous situations with transformational tricks of nature.

— In-game description

Overview

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.

 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)
