Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tessarael" data-source="post: 9693134" data-attributes="member: 12909">The A5E <a href="https://a5e.tools/rules/druid-class" target="_blank">Druid</a> can cast spells in wild shape form, if the spell is range self or touch. The <a href="https://a5e.tools/spell/seed-bomb" target="_blank">Seed Bomb</a> spell has range touch, so can be cast in wild shape form. Having cast it, you have 4 seeds that can be thrown 60' one-at-a-time as an action. So which Druid wild shape forms can actually throw something?<a href="https://a5e.tools/node/1907" target="_blank">Apes</a> can obviously throw something, as they have this as a ranged weapon attack. Other monkeys can too. Presumably so too can Fungal Zombie, Myconid Spore Servant, Octopus, and Rocktopus. Squirrels can throw items too, so perhaps they too could throw a seed enchanted by Seed Bomb.Can a Raptor or Giant Spider do so, if agility and the ability to hold something is sufficient, rather than having a full throwing action? What about something like an Eagle or a Tiger?What is permissible is open to DM interpretation. I don't think it is broken mechanically to allow a wild shape form that is capable of holding something to throw it. Thoughts? Would you be strict about this as a DM, or allow it for a wide variety of shapes?A similar question is what wild shape forms have sufficient manual dexterity for a Druid to manipulate tools, open a door, pull a lever, use an object, etc.? Given that A5E Druids can speak, they can presumably also fire say a wand if they can hold it. Quaffing a potion or using a scroll is also open to interpretation. I look forward to the Druid squirrel seriously intoning a spell from a scroll ...Thoughts?</blockquote>
