WILD SHAPE GUIDE

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before. You
can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses after a short or long rest.

Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into, as shown in the Beast Shapes table. At 2 nd level, for
example, you can transform into any beast that has a challenge rating of ¼ or lower that doesn’t have a flying or
swimming speed. (See end of guide for Circle of the Moon skills and limitations.)

BEAST SHAPES

Level Max. CR Limitations Example

2nd ¼ No flying or swimming speed Wolf
4th ½ No flying speed Crocodile
8th 1 --- Giant Eagle

You can stay in a beast shape for a number of hours equal to half your druid level (rounded down). You then revert to
your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a
Bonus Action on Your Turn. You automatically revert if you fall Unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

 Your game Statistics are replaced by the Statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and
Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in
addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat
block is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair
actions, you can't use them.
 When you transform, you assume the beast's Hit Points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you
return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of Dropping
to 0 Hit Points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in
animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn't
reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked Unconscious.
 You can't cast Spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities
of your beast form. Transforming doesn't break your Concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or
prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as Call Lightning, that you've already cast.
 You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is
physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your Special senses, such as Darkvision, unless
your new form also has that sense.
 You choose whether your Equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by
it. Worn Equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a
piece of Equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your Equipment doesn't change size or shape to
match the new form, and any Equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with
it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

Beast Spells
Beginning at 18th level, you can cast many of your druid spells in any shape you assume using Wild Shape. You can
perform the somatic and verbal components of a druid spell while in a beast shape, but you aren’t able to provide material
components.

Archdruid
At 20th level, you can use your Wild Shape an unlimited number of times.

Combat Wild Shape

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to use Wild Shape on your turn as a bonus action, rather than an action. Additionally,
while you are transformed by Wild Shape, you can use a bonus action to expend one spell slot to regain 1d8 hit points per
level of the spell slot expended.

Circle Forms
The rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform into more dangerous animal forms. Starting at 2 nd level, you can
use your Wild Shape to transform into a beast with a challenge rating as high as 1 (you ignore the Max. CR column of the
Beast Shapes table, but must abide by the other limitations there). Starting at 6th level, you can transform into a beast with
a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 3, rounded down.

Primal Strike
Starting at 6th level, your attacks in beast form count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to
nonmagical attacks and damage.

Elemental Wild Shape

At 10th level, you can expend two uses of Wild Shape at the same time to transform into an air elemental, an earth
elemental, a fire elemental, or a water elemental.

Thousand Forms
By 14th level, you have learned to use magic to alter your form in more subtle ways. You can cast the alter self spell at
