| cost = action

| cost2 = wldshp

| additional = * Grants access to the forms {{SAI|Wild Shape: Badger}}, {{SAI|Wild Shape: Cat}}, {{SAI|Wild Shape: Spider}}, and {{SAI|Wild Shape: Wolf}}.

* Your physical '''Ability Scores''' ({{Ability|Strength}}, {{Ability|Dexterity}}, {{Ability|Constitution}}) become the Ability Scores of the creature while Wild Shaped. Your [[Hit Points]] and {{ArmourClass}} also become that of the transformed creature.

* 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.  

* You can't cast spells and furthermore can't do any action outside of those available to your Wild Shape.

* 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 Hitpoint-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

{{InfoBlob|1=Current Hitpoints = Base Hit Points * (Factor ^ #of2levelups) rounded

Bear Lvl 8 = 30 * (1,3^3) = 65.91 => 66 HP}}

*There is a certain increase to damage for some of the attacks. The first increase is gained at Level 4 as follows:  - d4: Bear: Claws; Dire Raven: Beak and Rend Vision; Panther: Bite; Owlbear: Rupture, Claws and Crushing Flight - d6: Badger: Bite; Spider: Bite; Rothe: Gore and Charge; Panther: Jugular Strike and Pounce The increase is set at Level 4 so the Rothe, Raven, Panther and Owlbear get them right from the start.  At Level 8 these dice increase by one so a d4 becomes d6, d6 becomes d8 etc.. There is another Increase at Level 12 increasing the dice another time.  

* The DC of the (Special) Attacks of the Wild Shape forms is determined as follows: 8 + Proficiency + WIS-Modifier (on pair to the Spellcasting-Modifier of the druid).

| higherlevels = * At 4th level grants access to the form {{SAI|Wild Shape: Deep Rothé}}.

| variants = Wild Shape: Badger, Wild Shape: Cat, Wild Shape: Spider, Wild Shape: Wolf, Wild Shape: Deep Rothé, Wild Shape: Panther, Wild Shape: Owlbear, Wild Shape: Dilophosaurus

| notes = * For April Fools 2023, Larian Studios posted a [https://twitter.com/larianstudios/status/1642089543389130752 tweet] "announcing" a new wild shape for Druids: the [[Waterdhavian Cheese Wheel]].

* Trivia: {{SmallIcon|Druid Tadpole Aberrant Shape Icon.png}} [[Aberrant Shape]] was an [[Illithid Powers|Illithid Power]] [[Druid]] Bonus Action in [[Early Access]] that morphed the Druid into an [[Intellect Devourer]].
