[QUOTE="Azzy, post: 9846648, member: 6563"] I'm trying to convert a species from 4e to 5.24e and need help rewording a species trait to be 5.24 compliant. The original feature is: What I've done is below (but, I'm looking for help cleaning up the language to be consistent with the current edition): [B][I]Nature’s Mask.[/I][/B] As an action, you can shape-shift into your human, Tiny animal (chosen when you select this species), or hybrid form. You stay in the new form until you take an action to change forms again. While you are in human or animal form, other creatures can attempt to discern your true nature by making a successful DC 20 Wisdom (Insight) check. None of your game statistics change in human or hybrid form. While in animal form, you can’t cast spells (but shapeshifting doesn’t break your Concentration or otherwise interfere with a spell you’ve already cast). Your equipment becomes part of the form, and you continue to gain the benefits of the equipment you wear, except for shields. While equipment is part of the form, it cannot be removed, and anything in a container that is part of the form is inaccessible. You cannot speak. You otherwise retain your game statistics with the following modifications based on your animal form’s type: [I]Badger: [/I]You gain a Burrow Speed of 15 ft. [I]Carp, Crab: [/I]You Speed becomes 5 ft., and you gain a Swim Speed of 30 ft. You can breathe underwater. [I]Cat, Monkey, Raccoon Dog, Rat: [/I]You gain a Climb Speed of 15 ft. [I]Crane, Sparrow: [/I]Your Speed becomes 5 ft., and you gain a Fly Speed of 30 ft. [I]Dog, Fox, Hare: [/I]Your Speed becomes 40 ft. [/QUOTE]
