The Rivethun psychic has a discipline power which allows you to transform into “anything possible for creatures of your type and subtype.” This is hardly overpowered, but as near as I can tell the baseline ability persists indefinitely, until you choose to make another transformation.
This sounds ideal for someone operating undercover, especially if they need to maintain multiple identities. It takes 24 hours to transform, so not as useful for quick getaways as a spell would be—but the Rivethun metamorphosis won’t ping as illusion magic, so it may be easier to slip through some forms of magical detection.
I’m also wondering if this would be overlooked by true seeing, since this isn’t technically a polymorph effect. Am I missing anything that would keep this from being a good option for an infiltrator?
