Druid Wild Shape and Natural Attacks


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Probably been answered before but for the life of me I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

Using Wild Shape I change into a medium sized creature (Bull Shark in this situation), and I gain all natural attacks that creature has.

Now the Bull Shark is listed as having a bite attack with 2D8 damage (plus bonuses), however the natural attacks table says that a medium bite is 1d6 (plus bonuses).

Which damage should I be rolling, 2D8 (as listed for the animal) or 1D6 for a medium bite (as listed in the natural attacks table)?

Thanks in advance.


The natural attack table is simply the average. It even notes that some creatures vary from that amount.

You go by what the specific animal has, not the table.


Thanks.

I thought 1D6 plus bonuses was a bit wimpy compared to the actual animals 2D8 plus bonuses.
