Transfigurated Host (Monkey)

Background for Troika! RPG inspired by Fever Swamp.

You are a Transfiguration Worm, a parasite from the Swamp. You burrowed your way into your host's spine and slowly took control of its mind and body. You could have found a proud warrior, a wise shaman or an otherwise worthy candidate, instead you are irredeemably one with the spinal cord of a clueless simian and now you can just smile and play along. Through experience you will eventually grow into an unstoppable beast.

Special

You look Harmless - enemies do not consider you a threat and they do not attack you unless provoked.
You are Small – normal items take up three slots in your inventory. You cannot take Large items with you. You cannot use weapons bigger than a Knife.
You are Weak – you may have to test Strength for actions that would not normally require such roll. Actions that can be performed by a normal human with a Strength roll are impossible for you.

Transfiguration (Advanced Skill)

Every time you rest and manage to advance in at least one of your Skills, you can Test your Transfiguration Skill (Roll 2d6 over your Skill Total) to increase it by 1. It does not count towards the maximum of 3 Skills you can Test in one rest. Every time you increase your Transfiguration Skill, you have to roll on the table below. Each Mutation can be taken twice, the third time you get the same Mutation roll again.
