So, for instance, at 8th level, he ignored the fact that he could technically turn into creatures with a flying speed. His druid only turns into bears. Up until now, that hasn't been an issue. But he's just hit 9th level, which gives him access to CR 3 beasts. The thing is, there are no CR 3 bears.I am thinking that I will just "level up" the cave bear to be CR 3 and let him wildshape into that.Can anyone think of any good reason(s) not to do that? I feel like it's a reasonable thing to do since he is gimping himself out of so much of wildshape's utility.Thanks in advance!Cheers,JonathanEDIT: Another thing I'm thinking about is for when he hits 11th level and unlocks elemental shapes. I'm wondering if it might work to say that his elemental forms come in the shape of a bear (rather than their normal vaguely humanoid shapes) and, where applicable, have bite and claw attacks instead of (or in addition to) their normal attacks.</blockquote>
