* Most gear, some feats, and many other effects do not function in Wildshape the way they normally do. See [https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/15ikanj/list_of_feats_and_features_that_work_with/ List of feats and features that work with wildshape] for more information.
* 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 a 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}}. Does not work with Myrmidon forms from '''{{SAI|Combat Wild Shape}}''', the {{Class|Circle of the Moon}} variant.
