I'm playing a druid in a short adventure. She was 10th level and is now 11. She is 1/2 elf though I don't think it matters much what race she is.
What stats do you use when you transform into an animal like a bear, or an eagle or an earth elemental.
I understand she can be Huge, but do you use the stats of an a dire bear? or an earth elemental in the bestiary? Trying to find out so when it comes to a fight what I can do.
She has a bear companion and in many respects he is tougher than she is with his claw, claw, bite, bite
Thanks
You use your base stats and whatever modifiers you are allotted from your particular level of wild shape (beast shape III and elemental body III at your level). So to answer your particular question, it depends. For example, an animal like a bear is typically large, so you would get a +4 size bonus to strength, a -2 to dex, and a +4 natural armor bonus. A large earth elemental would net you a +6 size bonus to strength, a -2 to dex, +2 to con, and a +6 natural armor bonus.
You are also restricted in what other abilities you’re allotted depending on what you wild shape into (for example you don‘t get the rend ability when turning into animals that normally have it, since beast shape III doesn‘t call that out as an ability you get), but it’s laid out pretty clearly in the spell text for you to reference.
