[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7380914, member: 2525"] It's not off the mark. You can benefit from bear form and the spells. There is nothing about bear form which prevents you from healing the entire party out of combat with a single spell. Nothing about bear form existing prevents you from casting any of those spells prior to turning into a bear and maintaining concentration on them as well. I didn't ever argue you could both cast spells and be a bear simultaneously, so if I had said that it would have been off the mark. But I neither said nor implied that. I am a ghostwise halfling. I can telepathically communicate while in animal form. It's an ability which, as a racial ability, it carries over to my other forms. They don't roll for initiative. Not sure why you thought I'd be a bear walking around a dungeon, but I'm a ghostwise halfling. I can turn INTO a bear as a bonus action. But, obviously, most of the time when not in combat I am a halfling. With a decent initiative. And a decent AC. And a good perception. I get more powerful forms as my levels increase. I am a bear right now because it's a CR One beast. It becomes a beast of CR = Druid Level Divided By Three at 6th. It recharges on a short rest so two per short rest is the same as "most combats".
