This can also be leveraged in a more wide reaching form, as typefied by the Saurian Shaman's wild shape that allows them to take the form of &quot;any reptile or dinosaur&quot;. Valid races are tagged with RaceGroup.Dinosaur or RaceGroup.Reptile. That way each does not have to be individually listed in the candidate expressions for that special.
