Bracers of Racial Mimicry

The Bracers of Racial Memory are a magical set of bracers with somewhat complicated uses.

Effects

Wonderous Item, Very Rare (Requires Attunement)

While attuned to either one of the bracers, the attuned becomes a template of mimicry. Any other intelligent creature (intelligence score is 8 or more) will undergo a forced racial restructuring upon equipping the second bracer. Creatures can resist the restructuring, but must make a DC 10 Constitution save.

Upon failing the save, the creature will physically transform their own race to match that of the attuned user's. All original racial abilities of the transformed will be removed and replaced with the racial and subracial abilities of the attuned. The effects of the bracers do not affect any racial ability score modifiers.

For every level of size change that occurs, the restructuring deals 1d10 bludgeoning damage as the transformed's bones, skin, muscle, and other tendons are stretched or crunched beyond their normal limits (therefore a tiny creature becoming huge would incur 4d10 damage). If the transformed survives the damage, the transformation is a success.

Removing the bracer from the transformed will revert any transformations that have occured at no risk of damage. Removing the bracer from the attuned creature will end all transformation effects and end the attunement. At this point, if the other bracer is still equipped, that creature will then begin the attunement process, and become the next template of mimicry.
