The Henge-Okurimono

Created by a mahō-tsukai, the cursed “shape-shifting gifts” are seemingly mundane household items, each depicting a different animal: the hawk hairpins, the silver origami cat, the wolf kimono, the boar sandals, and the dog fan. These trinkets can change their wearer into their depicted animal and back again, but each time, the user suffers gradually more Taint, until they are trapped in a monstrous version of their animal form, unable to change back.

• Effects: Each henge-okurimono depicts an animal (all of which can be found on page 325 of the core rulebook). Once per game session as a Support action, you may use a henge-okurimono to curse and augment your body, transforming it into that of the animal depicted in the artwork. While in this form, you use its ring values, derived attributes, abilities, and advantages with the physical or social type, but you use your own skill ranks and advantages with the mental or spiritual types. This effect persists until you choose to end it or are rendered unconscious, at which point your form reverts to its original state and you suffer the Afflicted condition. Do not remove any fatigue or strife you suffered in the alternate form when you return to your original; if this causes your fatigue to exceed your endurance (or your strife to exceed your composure when it did not in your alternate form, you suffer a critical strike with severity 5 (or you become Compromised, in the case of strife).
