Polymorph is an awesome skill tree in DOS2. It is a jack-of-all-trade skill tree that contains all kinds of skills. Damage, defense, movement, utility, you name it. Everyone can benefit from at least a few skills from Polymorph.

However, the versatility of Polymorph reduces it into a mere support school. It’s very difficult to build a dedicated Polymorph without dipping into other schools for combat skills and spells.

This mod aims to maintain versatility of Polymorph, while making it more viable on its own.


Introducing STANCE:
Now the 4 core polymorph transformations: Bull Horns, Wings, Medusa Heads and Spider Legs, will grant significant passive bonus to characters. Each transformation is like a classic combat stance in some traditional RPG games. They provide different advantages and disadvantages to characters, and players often need to switch their transformations or combine them to face different situations.


Version 1.2:

New Skill: Bull Cry (Bull Horns Form): Pushes enemies, allies and everything away for 1AP!

Bull Smash changes: No longer Taunt enemies. Set Angry on enemies: They become more violent (increased damage and crit chance), but lose accuracy (-50%) and is MUTED!


Change List: (V1.1)

1.All transformations now grant “Revert Shapeshift” skill that cancels all transformations at once.

2.Bull Horns
Passive: Increase physical defense and vitality, but lower elemental resistances.
Bull Rush: Changed to weapon skill, set Taunt on enemies hit.
Bull Smash: Weapon skill, smash the ground to damage enemies and Taunt them

4.Medusa Head
Passive: Grant Earth-powered weapon. Increase elemental resistances, but lower movement, vitality and accuracy.

Note on using incompatible skills:
When you try to combine incompatible transformations, such as using Wings while having Spider Legs on your back, there is a bug in game that sometimes may cause the incompatible skill to not activate. To prevent this bug occurring, use the Revert Shapeshift skill to revert incompatible transformation. Or you may gamble on luck and hope the bug doesn't occur.
