Shape Change
This spell takes the Druid's natural affinity to animals to perhaps it's
logical extreme, for it allows the Druid to actually become, in all aspects,
one of a number of animals! Thus she would find that she had the physical form
of the animal, could use its natural attack forms, gained its strength or
speed, and even its size. Missing limbs would stay missing in the new form,
which could impair some of the forms natural functions, eg a Hawk without a
wing could not fly. Similarly, limbs lost while shapechanged would stay lost
upon resumption of her original body, although the nature of the transformation
does tend to heal limb injuries at each transition.
| Shape Change Forms | ||
|---|---|---|
| Form | Description | Requirements |
| Hawk | The hawk is very hard to hit, and can fly. Although it is quite weak, normally far weaker than the druid herself, it's ability to fly vast distances in relatively short time, and it's ability to steal items from other creatures, make it a worthwhile form. | 70 Woodcraft |
| Bear | Very strong and tough. Able to take a lot of injury that would kill lesser creatures. It is ideally suited to a tanking role in groups. | 90 Woodcraft |
| Wolf | The wolf is fast and stealthy, and can move without being seen. It can gain hp back from devouring corpses, and while not as strong and tough as the bear, it is far more deadly in combat. | 80 Woodcraft |
| Dolphin | A shape only acquired by the most skilled Druid. The Dolphin is an invaluable form when exploring rivers, lakes, seas and oceans but cannot survive on land. Although weak in combat, dolphins are fantastic swimmers and can ram into their enemies, stunning them to allow a quick escape. | 100 Woodcraft |
| Dire Wolf | A larger and more ferocious version of the normal Wolf, the Dire Wolf is feared by all who face it. It shares all the advantages of its lesser cousin, but is far more deadly in combat. | 130 Woodcraft Talent: Soul of the Ancients |
| Grizzly Bear | This towering form is by far the toughest a Druid can learn, gaining more hp, more armour and more attack than the normal bear. In this form a Druid can take incredible amounts of punishment as it bounces off the Grizzly's thick hide. However, while this form can stand tremendous damage, it sacrifices offensive power relative to the Dire Wolf in equal measure. | 130 Woodcraft Talent: Soul of the Ancients |
In any form, the Druid is unable to use magic at all, including maintaining Ents and Elementals.
