Domain Mutation

Celtic Druids and the Tuatha de Dannan

By Dominique Crouzet

The changing of shape, either as disguise trick, a curse on others, or even a symbol of reincarnation, is an archetype of the Celtic literature. Math Mathonwy for instance was a great user of polymorph magic; the Morrigan continuously changed her form to deceive others; and the druid Mogh Ruith turned many of his foes to stone. On the other hand, several heroes were transformed into apples or grains of wheat, and then, after having been eaten by some woman were reborn from her.

Granted Power: Disguise is a class skill, and you gets a +2 skill bonus to all your Disguise checks.
