Stormwight Kits¶
The stormwight primordial aspect lets you channel your ferocity into the form of an animal and grants you knowledge of one stormwight kit of your choice. You can master additional stormwight kits through play, changing them out during a respite as with any other kit (see Chapter 6: Kits).
Kit Features¶
All stormwight kits have the following features in common.
Aspect Benefits and Animal Form¶
Your primordial aspect benefits are always available to you, and you gain additional benefits while in the animal or hybrid form granted by your stormwight kit.

Effect: You can shapeshift into the animal defined by your stormwight kit, into a hybrid form, or back into your true form.
