[QUOTE="Valrei, post: 9150550, member: 7035107"] I'm intending on playing a decomposer and I am unsure as to how some interactions work: 1. General Wildshape and Shillelagh, shillelagh specifies the following: If you wildshape it says this: Soooo, have I let go of the target? I'd say technically not since the weapon merged into your new form (no letting go happened), it has no effect until you leave your form but I technically also didn't let it go, so when I would change back within that minute would Shillelagh still be active? Normally not much of a problem but due to a Decomposer subclass feature that allows you to regain your swarm wildshape charge if you turn back within a minute it does become relevant to know if your shillelagh is still active at this point. 2. In the decomposer subclass you get "in the cracks" which gives you an alternative wildshape of a swarm. Now the rules for this transformation are completely different to normal wild shaping so I'm hesitant to assume anything in it works like normal wild shape. Specifically: Your game statistics are unchanged, so I assume you still have the same AC, so does a shield you were wielding before the transformation still help you? In a normal wildshape the answer would obviously be no, but here it states specifically your game statistics don't change. 3. (also perhaps a slight oversight but rules as written: This means you can't transform back? (if so obviously not Rules as intended but still) Or does it specifically just mean you can't use other [B]actions[/B] and does it leave bonus actions completely open?) 4. Edit: another question I thought of, could you theoretically change from beastform into a swarm or from a swarm into beastform? Or do you always need to change to humanoid in between? Your opinions are appreciated and if this post would attract the attention of the writer(s) of the druid and decomposer that would be really great. (and if so, nice stuff, really like how druid is in a5e and the decomposer drips with flavour, utility and an alternative to the tree-hugging-squirrel-stroking druid stereotype which I always like) Edit: added 3 and 4 to the bonus question for clarity as there are actually 4 questions/matters [/QUOTE]
