Gameplay Notes[]

Wild shape merges the magical properties of armor, shield, and helmets worn on the character into the wild shape and Elemental Shape forms. This feature however only merges the highest magical properties (they do not stack). Thus, if a druid is wearing Leather +1 and carrying a Small Shield +2, the total AC bonus brought over to the new shape is +2, not +3. Additional properties of these three item types are also brought over (concentration bonuses, damage reduction, resistances, etc.). However, castable spells are NOT able to be utilized while shifted. This can be overcome with the Natural Spell feat.

The druid retains her mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma) while shapeshifted into these forms. However, her physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution) are over-written by the form's statistics as follows:

  • Total AC is the form's final AC that includes it's size bonus, bonus AC and Dexterity bonus.
  • Base attack bonus changes depending on the new physical abilities.
  • The wildshape ability can be activated by right clicking on the character and selecting it under the druid abilities. However, doing it this way will not give the option to choose a shape and will always turn the player into a bear. To choose a shape put the Wildshape ability on the quickslot bar. Clicking on it there will make a list of available shapes pop up.

Note: The information in the table above is from the Polymorph.2DA file and is subject to change in the event the file's information changes.

NWN comparison[]

  • Wild shape had an additional form, the panther, that the druid could polymorph into. The NWN2 version was originally intended to have one as well but it was cut during development.
