Okay, I was answering someone else's question about wildshaping and it got me thinking about this ...
(The concept of Legendary Animals is out of "Masters of the Wild" - they are basically even bigger versions of animals than dire animals.. like a legendary wolf, etc...)
Anyway, should we let a druid wildshape into a Legendary Animal?
I was thinking that perhaps a druid could use up the wildshape elemental to turn into a legendary animal.
Elementals are perhaps stronger (?) so I don't see this as being a bad option from a balance stand point. (though, PLEASE someone correct me if I am wrong).
That left me with some options and I thought I would see what the masses thought ...
1) Make it so that any druid can do this - basically, a blanket modification to the druid class itself:
A druid may use up a wildshape elemental use for the day to instead wildshape into a legendary animal
2) Make is to that only druids who take a special feat can do this:
Legendary Wild Shape [Wildshape]
Prerequisites: Wildshape Elemental ability
You may use a wildshape elemental slot for the day to instead wildshape into a legendary animal
Of course, with option 2, i run into the slight problem with when the feat could be aquired. Presume a single-classed druid. He would gain wildshape elemental at 16th level. His next feat gain isn't until level 18. would it make sense to let 2 levels go by for everyone before they could use this?
Thoughts? Opinions?
