In striker form, the druid gain a bonus to attack, damage and some rogue-like powers. In defender form he gains a bonus to HP, Defenses and some fighter like powers. And so on. While in any form he can't cast any druid controller spells, of course.Shapechange could be:-a minor action encounter power that last for the encounter duration or 5 minutes.-a standard action at-will power that last as long as the druid wishes, but it is a standards action to enter any form and also a standard action to leave them. I think the more abstract approach to shapechanging is what we are gonna see in 4e, even if there isn't this multi-role aspect.</blockquote>
