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 it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
Does wild shape change creature?
As a polymorph, Shapechange specifies that you quite literally change type and subtype to become the new creature. Wild shape quite clearly specifies that you do not truly “become” the new creature — your HP, type, subtype, etc. do not change at all (generally, there are exceptions to this).
Is Shapechange good 5e?
Yes, Shapechange is very useful. If you meant dropping concentration in melee as dropping it due to getting hit, then you should pick your forms more tactically. Change into something with resistance or immunity to the damage the foe is dealing.
Does polymorph change creature type?
Polymorph spells do not change your type. So, even if a human polymorphs into a dragon, they are still a creature of type humanoid(human).
Does Hold person work on Giants?
Giants and Trolls have the type “Giant” so Hold Person is insufficient. The Monster listing on this site is very handy for listing monsters by type for things like this spell. Hold person targets creatures with the “humanoid” type only.
What happens to your hp when you wild shape?
When you Wild Shape/Polymorph you “assume the beast’s hit points” thus essentially creating a new, separate pool of HP from your own, original form similar to how Temporary Hit Points work, as Alexis Wilke has stated.
Do you wild shape into a creature with fewer HD?
I have a Druid in a D&D 3.5 campaign, currently level 2, but I was looking ahead and loving the idea of Wild Shape. The problem is that it is apparently based on Polymorph, which does not explain everything that happens to the player character. What I’m not clear on is: do you keep your full HD when you wild shape into a creature with fewer HD?
What happens to the gear in wild shape?
It’s worth reading both descriptions, as Wild Shape changes a bit of what Alternate Form does. All gear melds, unless it has a specific property that says it doesn’t. Any gear worn or carried by the druid melds into the new form and becomes nonfunctional.
What happens when you change the Druid’s Wild Shape?
The druid is now at 0/0 hp, and is dead. An effect that reduces the druid’s hit point maximum is not the same as damage, so changing forms does nothing to remove that effect. Notably, the Druid’s Wild Shape only switches out the current hit points, not any modifications to your hit point maximum.
