[QUOTE="Antz7766, post: 6444015, member: 6784904"] I think the point Lancelot is trying to make regarding Barkskin is that the spell states the affected creature gains the AC bonus due to its skin becoming hardened like a bark. However, when a druid turns into a bear, its hardened skin is now replaced by the skin of a brown bear, therefore making the spell ineffective while in bear form. However, being able to hold concentration means that if the druid was to loses its bear form for any reason and revert back to itself, the Barkskin spell is still in effect and the AC bonus still applies in the normal form. This would be same as saying the druid casted Alter Self on himself to grow horns to attack with, but then shape shift into a bear, and still expects to be able to attack with the horn. I as the DM would probably ruled the same way Lancelot ruled, but like everyone keep reiterating, it's entirely up to the DM. There's no right or wrong answer, just a difference in opinion of the DM. Happy gaming! [/QUOTE]
