Looking through the errata and FAQ by wizards: I think I undrstand the intent of what they are trying to do but I am left with some questions; most of which center around the special qualities of the new shape not being accessable.I have had the ability to wild shape into the plant type for a while (and played it wrong). Not having access to the special qualities of a plant I take it I do not get access to the plant traits. Which means I still take critical hits. This seems odd as my body is now the body of a plant right? I just got access to being able to wild shape into an elemental. I have the same issues with critical hits here as I do for plant wild shaping. Additionally an invisible stalker is an elemental. Its invisibility is part of its special qualities. So it seems that I can only turn into a visible invisible stalker? Does this seem right? What do I look like then when I am an visible invisible stalker? Do observers just see me, the druid?This could be right as the last line in the alternate form (MM p305) mentions that I'd be effectively camouflaged as a creature of its new form with a +10 bonus on disguise checks. If an observer sees through the disguise, what do they see? Me the druid? Does that mean I am always me, same shape and size no matter what other form I take? Does that mean I don't really take up all that space if I wild shaped into a huge critter? Or I actually take up more space than it might suggest if I wild shaped into a tiny one?This all seems at odds with the whole bit about you taking on physical ability scores, natural armor and movement modes, etc...of the new form.Thanks for your help.</blockquote>
