The text for wild shape seems to suggest the latter, but I'm not 100% sure.Basically, I've taken an Orc Eye of Gruumsh, turned them into an old lady druid, and made it so she can wild shape into a saber-toothed tiger, and I just want to make sure I've done all the math correctly.Here's the base statblock:[sblock=orc druid]Orc DruidMedium humanoid (orc, shapechanger), neutral evilAC 13 (hide; 16 w/ barkskin)HP 45 (6d8 + 18)Spd 25 ft. (cos she's old)----------STR 14 DEX 12 CON 16 INT 10 WIS 16 CHA 14----------Saves Int +3, Wis +6Skills Intimidation +5, Nature +6*, Religion +3*Expertise (just 'cos)Senses darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 13Languages Common, OrcChallenge 5 (1,800 XP)----------Aggressive. As a bonus action, the orc druid can move up to her speed toward a hostile creature that she can see.Combat Wild Shape (2/Rest). As a bonus action, the orc druid can magically assume the shape of a beast that she has seen before with a CR as high as 2. While transformed, she can use a bonus action to expend one spell slot to regain 1d8 hit points per spell slot level expended.Gruumsh's Fury. The orc druid deals an extra 4 (1d8) damage when she hits with a weapon attack (included in the attacks).Spellcasting. The orc druid is a 6th level spellcaster. Her spellcasting ability is Wisdom (DC 14; +6 to hit). She has the following druid spells prepared:Cantrips (at will): druidcraft, guidance, magic stone1st level (4 slots): animal friendship, goodberry, entangle, longstrider2nd level (3 slots): barkskin, pass without trace, spike growth3rd level (3 slots): call lightning, dispel magicActionsSpear. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d6 + 2 + 1d8) piercing dmg, or 11 (2d8 + 2) piercing dmg if used with two hands to make a melee attack.Challenge RatingDefensive: 6 (45 hp + 104 hp for two uses of wild shape + AC 16 w/ barkskin)Offensive: 4 (+6 to hit; Dmg: 20 [14 + 16 + 16 + 16 / 3]) Final: 5Does that look right? Or should I only count the extra hit points from her beast form once (even though she can theoretically use wild shape twice), or should I just double her effective hit points, or what? In either case, her defensive CR would only be 3, which would make her final CR 4 (rounded up from 3.5).[/sblock]And here's what I've got for when she's a tiger (assuming she doesn't keep her own proficiency bonus):[sblock=saber-toothed tiger form]Saber-Toothed Tiger FormLarge beast, neutral evilAC 12 (16 w/ barkskin)HP 52 (7d10 +14)Spd 40 ft.----------STR 18 DEX 14 CON 15 INT 10 WIS 16 CHA 14----------Saves Int +2, Wis +5Skills Intimidation +4, Nature +4, Perception +6, Religion +2, Stealth +6Senses passive Perception 16 (21)Languages —Challenge —----------Aggressive.Gruumsh's Fury.Keen Smell.Pounce.Primal Strike.

Please let me know.Cheers!Jonathan</blockquote>
