hello there!
i don't know if this has been asked before, but does assuming the form of another type of creature, e.g. a bear, by means of a beast shape spell, or wild shape for that matter, actually give you that type (animal in this case)?
how does this interact with favored enemy or spells like animal growth ? furthermore, could use magic device be used to overcome this if your type didn't change?
[end barrage of questions] ;)
