[QUOTE="ForgedAnvil, post: 7170501, member: 6791775"] Proficiency and proficiency bonus are different. In the case of creatures the proficiency bonus it is based on the CR of the creature (e.g. CR 0 to 4 have a proficiency bonus of 2) How the tool does the calculation: Let's say your proficient with Athletics and the wild shape CR4 beast is not (example an Elephant). The beast gains proficiency (because you have proficiency), so the tool uses the beasts strength modifier + it's proficiency bonus. So for a Druid that wild shapes into an Elephant, it is a CR4 beast and it's proficiency bonus is +2, the tool adds it's strength modifier of +6 which is +8 for the Athletics skill in total. On the other hand a Bat is CR0 with a strength modifier of -4, so it would calculate it as -2 for the Athletics skill. Having said this, you can basically overrides all values and play wild shape as you like... I interpret wild shape as above, anything physical is limited or gained by the wild shape form. [/QUOTE]
