[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7363637, member: 23751"] The sage advice is specifically talking about prior to reversion by the way. Part of the question is, "Does the druid simply leave beast form?" To answer the question above, you have both. First you have 0. Then you check for effects that happen at 0. In the case of wildshape, you then(after dropping to 0) revert back and gain the hit points of your normal form. That's how the ability reads, and that's how it works. It clearly says you drop to 0 and then revert. Since disintegrate also checks for 0 hit points, it also triggers when the druid in animal form hits 0. So now we have two effects triggering at 0, one of which alters form, the other does not. The druid reverts to druid form, and the disintegrate dusts the druid(not a change in form despite that being non-intuitive). I asked Jeremy Crawford on twitter during this thread a few years ago and he said that form changes specifically refer to spells and ability that allow different shapes, like shapechange and polymorph.
