Polymorph, Shape-change and Wild Shape

Unread post by niapet »

I have a suggestion for the Shapechanging line.

I think that when shifted into a creature that has no real combat value, but should be fast, like a deer, or dog, the caster should get a speed boost. I have taken to shifting when traveling because It is what my character would do. But It really should bge faster to run as a deer than as an elf.

Also I would humbly request more options for the humanoids. I polymorphed into a Duergar to save my life in the underdark. It worked but i couldn't put away my axe. We should have some weapon free versions and possibly female versions (since i cant change my voice set).

The horse has rather low base strength, was it 10? Even hasted it just won't move that fast.

Yes, the horse has very low STR and moves slower than a normal Human!

It seems the RP forms added to Wildshape do not have realistic stats/feats to their form, unlike the vanilla forms.
