Nothing else changes, but the druid's Dexterity-based or Strength-based stuff will need to be adjusted for his modified ability scores. When the druid gains the ability to also use, for example, beast shape II, the second section is, I think, the only part that needs changing. gains and loses whatever the GM says he gains and loses if there are any questions.gains immunity to effects that change his size.Note: This is actually a bigger deal than you might expect. The druid can allow himself to be affected a new polymorph subschool effect, but such an allowance ends this current polymorph subschool effect. gains immunity to other effects of the polymorph subschool.Note: Special restrictions apply to effects of the polymorph subschool (see below).
loses class features dependent upon his original form, but those class features that allow adding features to the original form can still be used to add such features to the new form. loses extraordinary and supernatural abilities dependent upon on his original form, including keen senses, scent, darkvision, natural attacks, and movement modes. Note: The feats Eschew Material and Natural Spell help a druid cast spells while in an assumed form that normally prohibits casting. loses the ability to cast spells because the assumed form is that of an animal (or, probably, a plant). Note: Enhancement bonuses from magic armor and shields don't usually work either. The only magic items that continue functioning are those that both provide constant bonuses and do not need to be activated to function ( see here). sees all his carried gear meld into his new form because the assumed form is that of an animal (or plant or elemental). Note: This should also likely include modifiers to Fly skill checks, but this goes unmentioned by the text. gains the appropriate size modifiers to armor class and on his attack bonus, Combat Maneuver Bonus, and Stealth skill checks if the druid has changed size. gains a +10 bonus on Disguise skill checks made to masquerade as an animal of the assumed form, although specific creatures' forms can't be assumed. Note: The druid uses his own base attack bonus but his modified ability scores to determine attack bonus and final damage with these natural attacks. gains the natural attacks of the assumed form and proficiency sufficient to use those attacks. Assuming the form of a Medium animal grants the druid a +2 size bonus to Strength and a +2 natural armor bonus.įrom the effect of a supernatural ability duplicating the effect of a spell of the transmutation subschool polymorph, the druid. Assuming the form of a Small animal grants the druid a +2 size bonus to Dexterity and a +1 natural armor bonus. gains bonuses based on the assumed form's size. gains scent if the assumed form also has scent. gains low-light vision if the assumed form also has low-light vision. gains darkvision with a range equal to the range of the assumed form's darkvision but not more than 60 ft. The druid also gains the ability to breathe underwater while swimming. gains a swim speed equal to the assumed form's swim speed but not more than 30 ft. This fly speed always has average maneuverability. gains a fly speed equal to the assumed form's fly speed but not more than 30 ft. gains a climb speed equal to the assumed form's climb speed but not more than 30 ft.
gains the base land speed of the assumed form.(That is, do tigers speak the same language as house cats?)įrom the effect of a supernatural ability duplicating the effect of the spell beast shape I, the druid. Note: Ask the DM what a general grouping is for the assumed form. gains the ability to communicate with other animals of the same general grouping.loses the ability to speak if an animal form is assumed, but while in the assumed animal form the druid can make noises and gesticulate like a typical creature of the assumed form.The creature takes a standard action that doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity to use the supernatural ability wild shape.
