So... I'm making a Swarm monger PC and while it's questionable whether I'll ever even get to 12th level I'm really curious about how this works. It says it works like Swarm Skin except you can't split into more than one contiguous swarm, and you don't leave things behind, being able to reform as normal for wildshape. I have a few of questions here:
1) What can I turn into? I have to remain a contiguous swarm so does that mean I can only choose 1 option and only get 1 swarm out of the deal? In which case the best I could be is one group of army ants. Or, does it mean I get to split myself up into a bunch of swarms, but they have to remain adjacent to one another?
2)What are my stats? It's not a polymorph spell so I don't have that easy rules reference of "it only changes your ability scores exactly how it says it does." Do my swarms all have my stats? Do I gain the normal stats of the swarms? In that case do I become intelligenceless??
3) It says my gear morphs into me, but does that imply I retain static bonuses like I do with my other wildshape options? If I do does it apply to all of my contiguous swarms, or just one?
EDIT Bonus Question:How does my hp total work for everything involved both before during and after the transformation?
If anyone has seen anything that clears this up I would be grateful.
