[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7629506, member: 2629"] Shapechange allows you to switch forms. True Polymorph does not. Shapechange allows you to retain your alignment and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus listed in its statistics is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus in place of yours. You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them, provided that your new form is physically capable of doing so. You get the best of both world's basically. With True Polymorph, your game statistics, including mental ability scores, are replaced by the statistics of the new form. You retain your alignment and personality only. You lose your spellcasting abilities, although you may retain the ability to concentrate on an existing spell (if someone else casts this on you - if you cast it on yourself, you can concentrate on it). Essentially you become the target creature. True Polymorph can become permanent while Shapechange ends after an hour. [/QUOTE]
