Notes
- The shapes available with this spell are somewhat limited compared to shifter forms or the actual creatures. For example, the red dragon shape does not have fire dragon breath nor an aura of dragon fear (c.f adult red dragon).
- PCs lose all spellcasting abilities while shapechanged.
- All items equipped will be rendered ineffective/unavailable while shapechanged. Bonus spells, obtained as a result of an equipped item that increases a spellcasting ability, will be lost (emptied, not merely used up) upon shapechanging as a result. This may be partially circumvented by first casting a spell, such as eagle's splendor, fox's cunning, or owl's insight, that also boosts that ability.
- The AC bonus is a dodge bonus.
Details of the forms are in the table below. (The damage column lists creature weapons, which are not indicative of the number of attacks per round.)
