Message: <blockquote data-quote="Croesus" data-source="post: 7310921" data-attributes="member: 35019">One option to cover the lack of physical ability is to include the effects of enhance ability while wild shaped. So if one wild shapes into a bear, apply the Strength effect, while in the form of a cat, the Dexterity effect, etc.As for being too strong in some forms, I agree with the OP. The size limitations on lifting and carrying should eliminate the really strange situations, such as a rat carrying a dead comrade's body back to town. [Though, now that I think about it, I may introduce a druid NPC in a manner similar to this. It would sure be memorable to the players. "Um, fellas. There's a ferret dragging a guy through the woods...pause...Not a giant ferret, a regular ferret." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />]As for damage effects, hit points are such an abstraction, I can live with the wild shaped druid doing a bit more damage than normal while in the form of a cat or bird.</blockquote>
