Kraken Caller Druid's Wild Shape + Tentacles?


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

I was wondering if I was in Wild Shape already, could I expend another use of Wild Shape and get Tentacles?

Example: Wild Shaped into Giant Octopus (8 Tentacles), then Cast it again for the second effect to have 14 Tentacles at level 12.

My interpretation of that is that you can only use Wild Shape for Tentacles while you are in your original form, not while retaining whatever form you happen to be in.

But I am not very confident of my interpretation.

The general polymorph rules would prohibit this I think

Can't have two polymorph effects in effect at once.

I designed the archetype, and the intent is that you can use the tentacles only while you're not wildshaping or otherwise polymorphed. Hence the wording "The kraken caller can alternatively expend a daily use of wild shape to grow tentacles out of her body while otherwise retaining her own form."

Also, as pointed out above, you can only be affected by one polymorph spell or effect at a time. Although you mostly retain your own form, growing out tentacles still counts as using the wildshape ability, so it's still a polymorph effect.

I hope that helps!
