Description: Throughout his or her life, a Druid will have a particular creature which he or she may change to and from at will. By entering into this chant in any shape, the druid may change to their special animal form. The animal form will progress as the Druid gains in levels. Entering the command again allows the druid to revert to human form. A higher level druid may optionally specify a lower version of their form to assume that form instead. Use shapeshift list to see all available forms.

Notes

  • You may need to change your language after shapeshifting out of an animal form for others to understand you.
  • Only your qualifying class levels with the specific shape-shift totem improve your access to new forms within your selected form's racial category.
    • For example, Skywatchers do not gain access to Shapeshift, so a level 15 feline Druid who gains 30 levels in Skywatcher would not have access to Lion or Manticore shapes.
