Magically assume the shape of a beast. While in animal shape, you can't ''talk'' or ''cast'' [[Spell|Spells]].
 
You can take on the attributes your beast form -- excluding your [[Intelligence]], [[Wisdom]], and [[Charisma]] scores.

| cost = action, wldshp
| additional = * Grants access to the forms {{SAI|Wild Shape: Badger}}, {{SAI|Wild Shape: Cat}}, {{SAI|Wild Shape: Spider}}, and {{SAI|Wild Shape: Wolf}}.
* Grants access to the form {{SAI|Wild Shape: Bear}} for Circle of the Moon druids only.
* Your physical '''Ability Scores''' ({{Ability|Strength}}, {{Ability|Dexterity}}, and {{Ability|Constitution}}) become the Ability Scores of the creature while Wild Shaped. Your [[Hit Points]] and {{ArmourClass}} also become that of the transformed creature. You retain the mental Ability Scores ({{Ability|Intelligence}}, {{Ability|Wisdom}}, and {{Ability|Charisma}}) of your original form. Your [[movement speed]] is based on your racial movement speed, but some shapes add a bonus.
* When you reach 0 Hit Points, you revert back to your original form (with the same Hit Points you had before Wild Shaping). If you take damage that reduces the Wild Shape form's Hit Points below 0, the remaining damage is applied to your original form. If the remaining damage is also enough to reduce your original form to 0 Hit Points, you die instantly, skipping the usual Death Saving Throws.
* If you cast a {{Concentration}} [[Spell]] ''before'' entering Wild Shape, entering Wild Shape does ''not'' end your Concentration on it.
* You can't cast spells while in Wild Shape, and furthermore can't take any action outside of those available to your Wild Shape.
* Your equipped items are merged into your beast form and do not have any effect until you revert back.
* You retain your normal [[Skill]] and {{SavingThrow}} [[Proficiency|Proficiencies]] while Wild Shaped, but the total bonuses for Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution-based rolls are influenced by your new animal form ability scores.
* Your beast form has a fixed number of base [[Hit Points]] that increase every two levels that you advance in the [[Druid]] class after unlocking each unique creature type. The Hit Point increase is calculated by a factor depending on the shape you are using:
** Sabre-Tooth, Panther: 1.15
** Myrmidons, Rothe, Owlbear: 1.2
** Bear, Badger, Spider: 1.3
** Wolf: 1.4
* The damage dealt by beast form attacks gains additional damage on level 4 depending on the form used:
** 1d4 damage: Cat (Claws), Bear (Claws), Dire Raven (Beak, Rend Vision), Panther (Bite), Owlbear (Claws, Rupture, Crushing Flight)
** 1d6 damage: Badger (Bite, Claws), Spider (Bite), Wolf (Bite, Exposing Bite), Deep Rothé (Gore, Charge), Panther (Jugular Strike, Pounce), Sabre-Toothed Tiger (Bite, Jugular Strike, Shred Armour), Dilophosaurus (Bite, Pounce, Corrosive Spit)
** The damage die for all these attacks increases by one size (e.g., from 1d4 to 1d6) at level 8, and again at level 12.
* The DC of the (Special) Attacks of the Wild Shape forms is determined as follows: 8 + Proficiency + WIS Modifier.
* When shapeshifted, speaking to current party members while roaming the world, or talking to active/inactive party members in the camp reverts you temporarily to your original form while the dialogue lasts. This does not work with non-companion NPC's with the exception of [[Withers]] and [[Mizora]].
* Being shapeshifted into an animal-type form lets you understand other animals in the world freely, without using spells or potions, even though shapeshifting does not grant the player condition of {{Cond|Speak with Animals}}. This does not work with the Myrmidon forms from Circle of the Moon Druid's '''Combat Wild Shape'''.
* Many items, feats, and class features do not work while in Wild Shape. See '''[[List of features that work in Wild Shape]]''' for an extensive list of what does and does not work.

Your movement speed is based on your racial movement speed, but some shapes add a bonus.
  • When you reach 0 Hit Points, you revert back to your original form (with the same Hit Points you had before Wild Shaping).

  • You can't cast spells while in Wild Shape, and furthermore can't take any action outside of those available to your Wild Shape.
  • Your equipped items are merged into your beast form and do not have any effect until you revert back.
  • You retain your normal Skill and Saving throw Proficiencies while Wild Shaped, but the total bonuses for Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution-based rolls are influenced by your new animal form ability scores.
  • Your beast form has a fixed number of base Hit Points that increase every two levels that you advance in the Druid class after unlocking each unique creature type. The Hit Point increase is calculated by a factor depending on the shape you are using:
    • Sabre-Tooth, Panther: 1.15
