Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Crimson Binome" data-source="post: 7321341" data-attributes="member: 6775031">There are two real limitations to Wild Shape:1) By default, until you get to very high levels, you can only use this ability twice before you need to take a short rest (or a long rest). By default, a short rest takes like an hour, so the druid needs to be careful about using this ability or else they may find that they've run out of usages when they need it most.2) Wild Shape ends immediately if the druid is put to sleep, killed, or reduced to zero hit points; if the druid reverts due to having their hit points reduced to zero, the excess damage goes to the druid's regular form. If your druid turns into a spider with 1hp, and is bitten by a bear for 8 damage, the druid reverts and takes 7 damage to their regular form.Keep in mind also that animal forms tend to have lousy AC, so you're going to take more damage than you otherwise would, and you can't cast spells while you're in that form (until you reach very high levels).</blockquote>
