DnD 3.5 to 5e Spell Conversions: Amorphous Form

 

Amorphous Form

3rd-level transmutation

---

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: S, M (a pinch of gelatin)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
• Classes: Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

You transform a willing creature you touch, along with everything it’s wearing and carrying, into an amorphous oozelike state for the duration. The spell ends if the creature drops to 0 hit points or dies. An incorporeal creature isn’t affected. While transformed, the creature uses the Amorphous Creature stat block.

The creature is limited in the actions it can perform by the nature of its new form, and it can’t speak, cast spells, or take any other action that requires hands or speech.

The target’s gear melds into the new form. The creature can’t activate, use, wield, or otherwise benefit from any of its equipment.

One of the spells from my conversions of the entire Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 Spell Compendium into 5e and published in Spells of Antiquity. So, even when you aren't a plasmoid, sometimes you just gotta pretend otherwise. Though you do get a slam attack, this really isn't much of a combat form, which it more than makes up for by having some pretty decent utility.
