[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5249902, member: 957"] I disliked the changes to Wildshape at first. But I've come to think they were a real improvement. It may seem simple enough at first that "turning into a bear" == "turning into a bear". But, by that reasoning, every "being a PC druid" == "being a PC druid". I now very much like that a STR 8 halfling druid turning into a bear becomes a very different bear than a STR 18 human druid. And, it really makes sense that there is a cap on the amount of magic mojo that a CLX druid can muster. Another way to do it would be to pit a cap on ability increases and say that you just can not turn into any animal that has a larger STR than your limit. But I think the method selected is better. The animal you become is not just average, with 6 wildly diverse druids becoming 6 average, typical bears. Each one is a reflection of the druid. So the flavor is great. And, outside of flavor, not being able to dumpstat STR and DEX and then just wildshape into melee form is a much better balance position. [/QUOTE]
