Message: <blockquote data-quote="Traveon Wyvernspur" data-source="post: 6138895" data-attributes="member: 73201">I'd have to completely disagree with [MENTION=3400]billd91[/MENTION] here.[h=4]Wild Shape (Su)[/h] At 4th level, a druid gains the ability to turn herself into any small or Medium <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/creature-types#TOC-Animal" target="_blank">animal</a> and back again once per day. Her options for new forms include all creatures with the <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/creature-types#TOC-Animal" target="_blank">animal</a> type. This ability functions like the <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/b/beast-shape" target="_blank">beast shape I</a> spell, except as noted here. The effect lasts for 1 hour per druid level, or until she changes back. Changing form (to <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/creature-types#TOC-Animal" target="_blank">animal</a> or back) is a standard action and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. The form chosen must be that of an <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/creature-types#TOC-Animal" target="_blank">animal</a> the druid is familiar with. A druid loses her ability to speak while in <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/creature-types#TOC-Animal" target="_blank">animal</a> form because she is limited to the sounds that a normal, untrained <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/creature-types#TOC-Animal" target="_blank">animal</a>  can make, but she can communicate normally with other animals of the  same general grouping as her new form. (The normal sound a wild parrot  makes is a squawk, so changing to this form does not permit speech.)<a href="http://paizo.com/prd/spells/animalGrowth.html" target="_blank">Animal Growth</a> - Says one animal as the target, it doesn't state specific TYPE, but even if animal is the type, you ARE an animal who can only make the sounds of that animal, you gain all of it's natural attacks, etc. You are in essence THAT animal and THAT type until you turn back to humanoid form. Basically this is a <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transmutation" target="_blank">transmutation</a> and when something is transmuted, it is changed completely thus you are changed completely from humanoid to animal.By RAW, I'd allow it in my games as it's a no-brainer to me, but others might feel differently and that's their opinion.</blockquote>
