[QUOTE="pming, post: 6371469, member: 45197"] Hiya. Dr.Jones pretty much got it right. You don't get "free HP"...your HP total just changes. You don't "heal damage" when you change, you just change HP totals. You need to change back to change into a different form; you can use your changes to [I]keep[/I] the same form for a longer period of time (re: change into a dog for a few hours...and when it is set to run out, use another wildshape to stay as a dog). In other words, you can't turn into a dog, then change straight into a falcon; it would go human --> dog --> human --> falcon. You [I]KEEP ALL DAMAGE[/I] that you have taken in your forms. If you have 50hp as a human druid, change into a wolf, take 10 damage, change into human, change into tiger, take 35 damage, change back into human....you would have 5hp left (50, -10, -35 = 5). You don't "heal" anything. If you had changed into a brown bear in stead of a dog, and taken 30 points there, you'd be in real trouble after changing back into human from tiger...you'd change back with less than 0hp (50, -30, -35 = -15). So, basically, you never have "more" hp than your actual character does, but you can try and save your butt if your 'actual' hp are low. In other words, you have 50 max, have taken 47, so you have 3hp left; turn into a tiger and you now have 37hp (tigers average)...you could make a run for it, take some damage, then when the shape runs out, revert into human form with less than 0hp...hopefully in front of another druid or cleric or someone who will be able to try and save your unconscious butt. ^_^ Paul L.
