Elemental/Para-elemental Forms

[Tetsubo]

Once a Druid or Shaper can assume an elemental form, can they also assume a para-elemental one? I bought the Manual Of The Planes today and think the para-elementals are neat.

The Shaper definitely can because it can assume any form with the "elemental" type, which includes things like Thoqquas.

By-the-book, a normal druid cannot, because the wild shape description specifically enumerates the elemental types: air, earth, fire and water.

However I think the paraelementals are neat, so I'd let a Druid become one (it's not like they're any more powerful).

Ahh back in the day... I bought my Monster Manual II for AD&D... I fell in love with the modrones and the paraelementals... I still haven't taken a crusade of chaos into nirvana *ahem* mechanus...
