• You can mimic their appearance and mannerisms.

| d12 | Result |
|---|---|
| 1. | When you try to speak, you meow instead. |
| 2. | You sneeze violently if you lie. |
| 3. | You can see 120 feet into the Ethereal Plane. If there is a ghost within this range, it immediately becomes aware of you. |
| 4. | Occasional hiccups transform parts of your face to animal counterparts, for example, a rabbit’s nose, a cat’s eyes, or a shark’s teeth. The DM determines the transformations. |
| 5. | You have no shadow or reflection for 24 hours. |
| 6. | Roll 1d20. On a roll of 1–18, all non-living items you touch turn into lead. On a roll of 19– 20, all non-living items you touch turn into gold. Only items that weigh less than 1 lb. are affected. This ability lasts 1 minute. Transformed items revert to their original substance after 24 hours. |
| 7. | A pie appears in the air 5 feet from you and flies towards one random creature’s face within 120 feet, using your ranged attack bonus. |
| 8. | You can speak to plants for 1d4 days as if you were affected by the spell speak with plants. During this time, you are unable to communicate verbally with other creatures. |
| 9. | One random non-living item within 30 feet of you levitates 10 feet upwards and hovers there for 1d6 hours. During this time, the item can’t be moved from its position. |
| 10. | One of your eyes changes colour and appearance. It may turn into the eye of a reptile, cat, goat, or an entirely different creature determined by the DM. |
| 11. | One piece of your footwear sticks to the floor or ground and can’t be removed from it. |
| 12. | An illusory duplicate of you materialises 10 feet away from you. During this time, it follows you and argues vehemently that it is the real version of you. |
