Giants. All of the various “giant” varieties of normal animals are on the beast list, meaning druids can wild shape into giant crabs, giant bats, or giant eagles, to name a few, so long as they qualify. Sadly, turning into a T-rex would require a 24th level druid, but triceratops is available at 15th level, plesiosaurus at 6th level, and pteranodon at 8th level (because of the flying speed) – even a non-Circle of the Moon druid can turn into a pteranodon. Now, they’re CR 2 and 3, respectively, but a 6th or 9th level druid of the Circle of the Moon could turn into them. Given these guidelines and taking a look at the Beast table of D&D Monsters by Type, what do we note…?ĭinosaurs.Right off, the allosaurus, ankylosaurus, and other dinosaurs are on the table. The Circle of the Moon druid archetype increases the CR limits to druid level divided by 3 and rounded down (minimum of 1). CR of 1 and no movement limits at 8th level. CR of 1/2 and no flying speed at 4th level, and a max. The druid’s level sets limits on the type of beast form assumed: A maximum challenge rating (CR) of 1/4 and no flying or swimming speed at 2nd level, max. The description of wild shape says: “…you can use your action to assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before.” Note that “beast” is a specific creature type in D&D 5e. This effectively allows Druids to provide themselves with a substantial pool of additional HP through the use of Wild Shape.The recently released D&D Monsters by Type document from Wizards of the Coast points out some interesting potential wrinkles in the druid’s wild shape ability in the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons. If this reversion is caused by damage, any remaining damage is dealt to the Druid's original HP. Once the beast form's HP is reduced to zero or if the Wild Shape is ended prematurely as an action, the Druid's HP returns to its total prior to Wild Shape being activated. Perhaps the most important aspect of Wild Shape is that regardless of a Druid's current HP, upon transforming into a beast, a Druid's HP becomes that of the beast. This means that if a concentration spell is cast, it can still be used to great effect if a druid activates Wild Shape during their following turn. This is key as many of the Druid class's most powerful spells require concentration. However, it's important to note that Druids are still capable of concentrating on spells while transformed.
