This page is about the features that do or do not work in Wild Shape. For details on the stats and other effects of Wild Shape, see
or .Unfortunately most equipment, many feats, and some class passives do not work while in Wild Shape. Note that this does NOT mean all these features should work with Wild Shape- some aren't supposed to work due to the rules of 5th Edition D&D. However, some of them act inconsistently (e.g. some feats that add +1 STR or +1 DEX do carry over to Wild Shape, while others do not). This list clarifies what works and what does not work.

- Permanent stat bonuses such as those provided by Hag hair, Potion of Everlasting Vigour, or Mirror of Loss.
- Permanent conditions (e.g. from Volo's Ersatz Eye).
- The of martial classes (It even stacks with Druid's to give them 3 attacks in Wild Shape the same way that does).
- The Fighting Style (if you were wearing armour before transforming).
- Abjuration School's (must be stacked up before transforming).
- Barbarian's (if you were not wearing heavy armour before transforming).

- Specific equipment:

- Many Feats:
- (if you were dual-wielding before transforming).
- (The +1 bonus to any stat and save proficiency persists in wild shape).
- (Fully works for wild shapes that wield weapons (i.e. the Myrmidons). Only the passives work for wild shapes that don't wield weapons).

Partially works in Wild Shape
- Some Feats:
- Athlete (Passive effects work but the +1 STR or DEX does not).
- (Gives the additional +1 CON and full heal but the increased CON does not change the HP of wild shape forms).
- (Only the passives work, not the reaction).
- Requires a Wild Shape with unarmed attacks (i.e. all of them except Circle of the Moon's Myrmidon forms).
(It works properly in Explorer, Balanced, and Tactician difficulty but does not give the bonus to damage rolls in Honour mode. The additional +1 STR or CON works in all difficulties but +1 CON will not change the HP of Wild Shape forms).
- (Only the passives work, not the reaction).
- Shapeshifter Hat (The +1 Nature bonus disappears in Wild Shape but the extra charge works).
- Mutilated Carapace (The +1 to attack rolls and damage rolls works, but the AC bonus and advantage on deception and persuasion checks does not).
