The choice between Wild Shape and the Shapeshift variant depends on your preferred playstyle. Wild Shape offers more flexibility, allowing you to transform into a variety of creatures, while the Shapeshift variant grants you a more controlled and thematic transformation

@Keldar all good points thank you.

@Skyrock My thoughts are the same. Also, I think I will never be higher than 17-18 AC in Wild Shape. Shapeshift will get me to 30+ eventually. Even more, with a level dip into Monk. Not having Wildling Clasp will hurt.

What makes the Shapeshift ACF more interesting in this case is the PHB restriction - the game will probably not allow dumpster-diving for special animal forms like Fleshrakers, the thing that makes Wildshape so good.

And you get to play around with some overlooked Druid combat buff spells that are normally tossed aside once Wildshape comes online and makes them redundant, like Shillelagh.

Elizabeth looks worriedly back at the group for a moment, then back to the woman on the street:
"Might we have a word?"

Version 10 is confirmed, and is in progress.

How many people would be interested in a cross-edition listing of psionics in D&D as a whole?

Given that different editions of D&D are not cross-compatible and are basically different games, it would be a curiosity, but nothing more.

Well, it looks like I'm including previous editions' psionics after all - in the forthcoming v12.

Shapeshift variant is significantly weaker, but does exist at 1st level.  If you expect the game to last, regular druid is the superior option*.  What domain you want is really based on theme, they're all fine.  Except Animal, which is utterly redundant for a Druid.  Plant at least gets you a command plants ability, which is at least cool.  I think Fire would give you the most spells that aren't native to the Druid list.

However, you may want a 13 strength anyway, because there aren't many feats you can use for wildshape in PHB other than Weapon Focus and Power Attack.


*I've played Shapeshift specifically for that handicap before.  Its stronger at 1st, but weaker after 4th.  For some parties its keeps the druid from feeling so munchkin.

It is.  She smiles and waves.  No ghouls seem present.

Yeah, I feel bad for contributing to the death of this game after it's been going on for so long in one fashion or another.  :(

Every game ends sometime brother.

And I may always restart if I feel like it agai.  It allows me a chance to pause and do some more world building.
