The Wildshape feat in Narfell has undergone a drastic change in its functionality. Pen and Paper games have allowed druids to assume many animal forms, much greater than the limited number available in game. We have added a simple system to allow druids to many new animal forms in an attempt to recreate the pen and paper experience.
This will only work from the quickslot bars, NOT from the radial menu.
Under the new system, the wildshape feat targeting will be altered to allow user to target other creatures, or nothing at all. The 5 animal slots he or she can choose from no longer represent a specific animal, and are treated more like holding slots for various shapes.
To use, dominate an animal with the shape you desire (e.g., through Animal Empathy or a spell). On your quickslot, select the shape you wish to replace. The cursor will now indicate you find a target: select the animal you've dominated. You should receive a message about the availability of that shape. If you are successful, you will transform into the animal shape you just saved whenever you target yourself with that specific quickslotted shape.
To reset the shape to the default: click on the quickslot for the specific shape and target the ground. You should receive a message if you are successful.
The restrictions on allowable shapes are as follows
As a side note, the Brown bear shape of a druid will be a black bear until he or she reaches level 8.
You cannot learn shapes from summons. Vermin are never valid targets so no spiders, although you can have one as a companion.
