Do you get the +2 to attack when using Wild Shape (Humanoid Form)?

Question as posed in title.


Wild Shape: "When you choose to use your own attack modifier while polymorphed instead of the form’s default attack modifier, you gain a +2 status bonus to your attack rolls."

Humanoid form does not have a default attack modifier, so there is no choice to use your own attack instead of the form's default attack modifier. Because you cannot choose to forgo the default attack modifier, I don't think the +2 bonus applies.


Note the word "form" in Wild Shapes description. There is a term they use, battle form, that is not explicitly defined.

Humanoid Shape does not provide a battle form. Hence I would say you don't get the modifier, but you can cast spells while in this form.
