Finally added to Homebrews.
I'm not sure we need all that information in the wildshape entry. I think we can whittle it down quite a bit, just referring to the the druid class feature instead.
I didn't care for the faerie fire duration being based upon the damage, so I changed it to 1 minute/age category. If enough of you feel strongly about the other method, I'm willing to begrudgingly change it back.
Agreed.I'm not sure we need all that information in the wildshape entry. I think we can whittle it down quite a bit, just referring to the the druid class feature instead.
The 1 minute/age category hearkens to the 1 minute/level of the spell, right? I like that one better,I didn't care for the faerie fire duration being based upon the damage, so I changed it to 1 minute/age category.

Come to think of it, when I was drafting that Wildshape entry that I did wonder about having something like the following, but I thought the True Dragon's special abilities always included the age categories at which they appeared, so went for the more detailed approach out of a sense of consistency rather than simply referred to the Dragon Abilities Table.
Wildshape (Ex): An auburn dragon can wildshape like a druid but cannot wildshape into a creature with more Hit Dice than it has levels in Dragon. The frequency and forms of it wildshape ability depend on its age, as indicated in the Auburn Dragon Abilities by Age Table above.
Generally, just the SLAs get that treatment.
Hmm...I'm not sure what you mean by "levels in dragon". Do you mean age categories? If so, its wild shape is going to be quite weak.
It means Dragon hit dice. Would you prefer that?
Much! Or better yet, simply "Hit Dice".
Sure, a dragon can take class levels, but it's rare enough to probably be evident to a DM going down that path.
