Change Self (Su): This ability is as the spell cast by a 6th-level sorcerer.

Transpose Damage (Su): A creature hit by the transposer is linked to it for the remainder of the encounter. Any damage dealt by that opponent to the transposer does the attacker harm and restores lost hit points to the transposer in equal proportion. Any curative-type spell cast on the transposer will harm it while simultaneously healing the linked opponent. Opponents not affected (i.e., not linked to the transposer) can attack the transposer normally. A transposer can link any number of creatures.

*When using its change self ability, the transposer receives a +10 circumstance bonus to Disguise checks.

The transposer attacks by lashing at its opponents using its arms.

The Transposer first appeared in the Monster Manual II (Gary Gygax, 1983).
