Looking for lists of forms obtainable by the X Shape spells

[mplindustries]

The title should be relatively self-explanatory. I'm playing a Druid currently, and just acquired Wild Shape.

I've read the guides that are up on this site. Treantmonk's guide is formatted perfectly, listing good form ideas for each level of Wild Shape (i.e. it lists good forms for Beast Shape I, then good ones for Beast Shape II, etc.). Unfortunately, his guide was last updated in 2010, so it's missing quite a lot.

Meanwhile, the other guide includes all current material, but it seems to be aiming its wildshape advice towards Druids that already have all forms available, because it's split by special ability, not Shape equivalent. (For example, it lists all the forms with a fly speed, or all the forms with pounce, but doesn't list which forms are obtainable at what level).

I'm not necessarily looking for someone to evaluate the forms (though I'd happily take that), because I am confident in my ability to evaluate them, I was just hoping for a more comprehensive and up to date list of forms. Just something that listed all the medium animals would be huge to start.

I know the Deinonychus is probably my strongest choice for most combats, but the ability is so versatile, I just want to have all the information I can so I can tailor my choice of form to the situation I happen to be in at the time.

Is there really no list anywhere that anyone is aware of?

There is an excellent guide to all the polymorph spells, not just the beast shape ones, here.

If you want all forms rather than the most useful forms, you'll just have to go through the bestiary yourself. You can look at the list of all animals here, and probably guess by name how big most of them are probably going to be, as well as what movement modes they're likely to have.

Use this.

You can't select by size, but it contains all paizo materials in one location.

Thank you! That is exactly what I wanted. Am I blind, or is that not linked in the Guide to the Guides thread?

Dotting this thread for sure. We should definitely get Polymorphamory on the guide of guides.
