I think shapeshift is fantastic, and even as a player I prefer it for its simplicity and uniformity. I can't wait to make a shapeshift druid/rogue in some future campaign. I like that shapeshift is not a headache and sets realistic boundaries on the "wildshape" ability. Wildshape is as broken as polymorph, and I'm glad WotC finally addressed the problem. When I played my druid it was a total pain in the arse leafing through multiple sourcebooks looking for that "power animal" I could wildshape into. And arguing with my DM over which items stayed and which disappeared when my character wildshaped. Through multiple iterations of wildshape--including the current one--I have not been satisfied with it. It's just too complex, too ripe for abuse. No offense, Drowbane, but if you're unhappy with shapeshift, that only reinforces my belief that it is balanced.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> In any case, a real fix to wildshape was long overdue. Going forward IMC, shapeshift replaces wildshape for all druids (though I won't force the current wildshape druid to switch).</blockquote>
