Message: <blockquote data-quote="Herosmith14" data-source="post: 7178323" data-attributes="member: 6886148">So I was thinking of dredging up an unused moon druid I rolled up a while back for possible use when I remembered a problem I had noticed when I first made him. Wild Shape's usages are static.By this I mean, you get two usages of Wild Shape at 2nd level, when you receive the ability, but nowhere in the Druid section of the PHB does it say you get more uses until level 20, when you can use it an unlimited number of times. It doesn't mention it in the Wild Shape ability description, and there isn't a bar on the level table for them at all (which in and of itself I find interesting because Wild Shape is a pretty core feature to the class, much like Rages and Invocations are for Barbarians and Warlocks, but that's a conversation for another time.). This makes even less sense if you make a Mood druid and get Elemental Wild Shape, which, if the usages are static, you would have to use ALL your usages to go elemental. (Plus, from the description, the ability implies that you do have more than just two uses of Wild Shape.)I do know that people have found discrepancies between older and more freshly minted PHBs in the past, but I don't think this is another one of those times, because I looked on D&D Beyond and found the same thing there.If this isn't a typo or some other kind of mistake, I see this as a tremendous design flaw on the part of WotC that severely limits the druid without houserules or homebrew. If this is the case, then how do you suggest tracking Wild Shape usages. I was thinking of just ripping the the "Invocations Known" numbers off the warlock table and using those, but what do you think?</blockquote>
