Description

Magically assume the shape of a beast. While in animal shape, you can't talk or cast Spells.

You can take on the attributes your beast form -- excluding your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores.

When your beast form drops to 0 Hit Points, you revert to your normal form.

Properties

Action + Wild Shape Charge

• Your Ability Scores become the Ability Scores of the creature while Wild Shaped (Excluding Charisma, Intelligence, and Wisdom).
• 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 a Concentration Spell was cast before entering Wild Shape, you do not lose Concentration on the spell after Wild Shaping.
• 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.

Combat Wild Shape Action
