[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 8904052, member: 58416"] Yes, they can. A Dragonborn Druid is still able to use their breath weapon. Likewise, a tabaxi can still use their speed boost in other forms. In contrast, a tabaxi may or may not be able to use their climb speed, depending on if the new form has claws (or something which may function similar to claws). I would not allow a plasmoid [in other forms] to squeeze through small openings. But, As said already, I would be open to hearing a player explain why the pseudopods and blobby hands might work. The mind/body connection there is important because it indicates knowing how to control an aspect of a body. I'll add that, if a player (of an unusual race) were to propose that an aspect should carry over into other forms, I would likely offer back that some aspect of their true form carries over into other forms. So, a Plasmoid Druid might have a shiny/wet sheen as a condition of my openness to allowing certain abilities to carry over. It is a small detail but potentially an important one if a knowledgeable adversary could use it to track or identify a character. [/QUOTE]
