You may be transformed into a toad by landing on a certain board space or drawing a certain card. As a toad, you will be weaker. Place a toad token on top of your character card. You’ll remove that token when you turn back into your character.
If you become a toad:
• You may move only one space per turn and must follow the same rules of space and character encounters.
• You may not gain or cast spells (though you keep the spells you had before you became a toad).
• You may not use any of your character’s special abilities.
• Your strength = 1
• Your craft = 1
• You may not use gained counters to add to your strength or craft.
• You may not lose, use or gain objects, gold or followers (though you keep the ones you had before you became a toad).
• You may not use or gain fate (though you keep the fate you had before you became a toad).
• You keep any trophies you have and can still earn trophies. Avoid trading in trophies, however; you must discard any strength or craft you gain as a toad after you turn back into your character.
• If you lose any lives as a toad, you do not get them back when you turn back into your character.
To become your character again:
At the end of your next turn as a toad, you turn back into your character. Remove the toad token from your character card.

• More than one player may be a toad at a time.
• If you are already a toad and you land on a board space or draw a card that would turn you into a toad, simply remain a toad for the original duration.
