Rules While Shape-Shifted
While in a form, you retain your personality, memories, and ability to speak, and the following rules apply:
- Temporary Hit Points. When you assume a Wild Shape form, you gain a number of Temporary Hit Points twice your level.
- Game Statistics. Your game statistics are replaced by the Beast's stat block, but you retain your creature type; Hit Points; Hit Point Dice; Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores; background traits; languages; and talents. You also retain your skill and saving throw proficiencies and use your Proficiency Bonus for them, in addition to gaining the proficiencies of the Beast. If a skill or saving throw modifier in the Beast's stat block is higher than yours, use the one in the stat block.
- No Spellcasting.
- You can't cast spells and you cannot use your Mystic talents if they require an Action, Bonus Action or Reaction to perform.
- Shape-shifting doesn't break your Concentration or otherwise interfere with a spell you've already cast or passive benefits from your Mystic talents.
- Objects. Your ability to handle objects is determined by the form's limbs rather than your own. In addition, you choose whether your equipment falls in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it's practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment based on the creature's size and shape. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with the form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect while you're in that form.
