[QUOTE="Horwath, post: 9024970, member: 6801299"] 3.5e PHB2 Wild shape was pretty simple. chose shape template, add STR to you own, add AC to your DEX(no mundane armor), set speed and damage. why was it good? It used your stats instead of preset for an animal. So, no more dumping STR and DEX to basement. You had a choice, STR for fighting or WIS for casting. going high in both left your Con and Dex low and you would like 14 in both of those. templates for 1D&D: Usage, at-will, Bonus action, Level 1: Predator shape: medium size +4 STR, AC 12+dex+prof bonus Speed 50ft,Climb 30ft Damage: bite 1d8+STR Level 3: Aquatic shape: medium size +2 STR, AC 10+dex+prof bonus Speed 30, Swim 30 water breathing Damage: bite 1d6+STR Level 5: ferocious predator shape: large size +8 STR AC 14+dex+prof bonus Speed: 40ft, Climb 20ft Damage: bite d10+str, claws 1d12+str Multiattack, attack with claws and bite Level 9, flight form: medium size +2 STR AC 10+dex+prof bonus speed: 20ft, fly 60ft Damage 1d6+str, fly by attack Level 13, treant form: huge +12 STR AC 17+prof bonus speed 20ft Damage 2d12+str, two slam attacks multi attack Cannot cast spells in wild shape. Moon druid could add: magical natural weapons, +1 AC in all forms damage reduction in forms equal to prof bonus double base damage some extra forms. temp HPs equal to druid level prof bonus per day when you use wildshape.
