Mastering Soul Swap: A Guide to Body Exchange Spells
If You attempt to swap souls with a human you want during the entire casting time. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or its soul and yours exchange/Swap bodies. If your soul moves into the target’s body, your body falls into a catatonic state as the target’s soul moves within. The target’s soul is trapped in your comatose body.
Once you possess a target’s body, you control it. You use the Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution of your new body, as well as its natural attacks, and other physical attributes. You retain your alignment and your Intelligence and Wisdom.
While possessing a body, you can use your action to return from the host body to yours, returning the host creature’s soul to its body at the same time.
If the host body dies while you’re in it, the host creature dies, and you must make a Charisma saving throw against your spellcasting DC. On a success, you return to your body if it is alive and on the same plane as you. Otherwise, you die.
If your body dies while you possess the host body, this spell ends, but your soul remains within the host body. You take a -5 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks.
