Wild Shape (2/Short Rest)

• How: Use a Bonus Action to transform into a beast you've seen (Max CR 1).
• Benefits: You gain 15 Temporary HP. You use the beast's STR, DEX, CON, and physical stats, but keep your INT, WIS, CHA, and skills. You can maintain Concentration on a spell you cast before transforming.
• Duration: Lasts for 2 hours. You revert if you drop to 0 HP, are incapacitated, or use a Bonus Action to revert.

Go-To Combat Forms

• Brown Bear: (Large) Good for pure damage. Multiattack: one Bite (+5, 1d8+4 piercing) and one Claw (+5, 2d6+4 slashing).
• Dire Wolf: (Large) Good for tactical advantage. Pack Tactics gives it Advantage on attacks if an ally is within 5 ft. of the target. Bite Attack: +5 to hit, 2d6+3 piercing, and can knock a target prone (DC 13 STR save).
• Giant Spider: (Large) Good for control and mobility. Spider Climb and Web Walker are great for navigating terrain. Web (Recharge 5-6): Ranged attack to restrain a creature.

Top Spellcasting Options

⭐ = Requires Concentration

Cast This Before You Wild Shape!

• Conjure Animals (3rd Lvl - Always Prepared): ⭐ The best spell for a Moon Druid at this level. Summon beasts to fight alongside you while you are in beast form. Options:
  • Two CR 1 beasts (e.g., 2 Brown Bears or 2 Dire Wolves)
  • Four CR 1/2 beasts (e.g., 4 Black Bears or 4 Crocodiles)
  • Eight CR 1/4 beasts (e.g., 8 Wolves)
• Moonbeam (2nd Lvl - Always Prepared): ⭐ Create a pillar of light that damages creatures inside it. You can use your action on subsequent turns to move it, even in Wild Shape.
• Heat Metal (2nd Lvl): ⭐ Devastating against enemies in metal armor. Deals damage every round as a bonus action while you are free to attack in beast form.

DM's Tip for Alfbern: Your core combat strategy is often to cast a powerful Concentration spell on your first turn (Conjure Animals is a fantastic choice), then use your Bonus Action to Wild Shape into a durable beast. On subsequent turns, you can attack with your beast form while your spell continues to control the battlefield. Don't forget you have a pool of self-healing with your multiple Wild Shapes!
