You endow yourself with endurance and martial prowess fueled by magic. Until the spell ends, you can't cast spells, and you gain the following benefits:
- You gain 50 temporary hit points. If any of these remain when the spell ends, they are lost.
- You have advantage on attack rolls that you make with simple and martial weapons.
- When you hit a target with a weapon attack, that target takes an extra 2d12 force damage.
- You have proficiency with all armor, shields, simple weapons, and martial weapons.
- You have proficiency in Strength and Constitution saving throws.
- You can attack twice, instead of once, when you take the Attack action on your turn. You ignore this benefit if you already have a feature, like Extra Attack, that gives you extra attacks.
Immediately after the spell ends, you must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer one level of exhaustion.

Spells similar to Tenser's Transformation
Haste 3rd-level transmutation
Both spells are concentration-based boosts that make one creature much better at fighting by improving speed and action output.
Guardian of Nature 4th-level transmutation
This is a close cousin in spirit because it is another temporary self-buff that pushes you toward melee combat and stronger attacks.
Draconic Transformation 7th-level transmutation
It also turns the caster into a stronger frontline threat for a short time, with flight and extra offensive options.
Shadow Blade 2nd-level illusion
Like Tenser's Transformation, it supports an aggressive self-buffing playstyle built around making weapon attacks hit harder.
Tasha's Otherworldly Guise 6th-level transmutation
This is another self-targeted combat transformation that trades your normal casting for a suite of powerful personal buffs.
