Wild Shape in TOS FIVE
How to use Wild Shape in TOS FIVE
Consider the Dashboard sheet for this level 2 Gnome Druid (click to expand the image and see other resolution options):
Starting at level 2, you can use the Wild Shape ability to transform into a Beast. To do so, in the Active Effect Table you can select the Druid: Wild Shape ability. Once selected, choose the Beast that you will transform into in the Modifier column (it should be Yellow to indicate it is waiting for input). Once you select your beast form (in this case, we selected a CAT), the Dashboard will automatically be updated for your new form (click to expand the image and see other resolution options):
①: The Effect name you select to be able to use Wild Shape
②: Type or Select the Animal form. It is possible to tell TOS FIVE which animal are available to your Druid. See later in this document.
③: The Advice column give additional information regarding your new Form.
④: Your weapon load-out is changed to represent the Natural attacks that the Best possesses. It is also possible to keep your manufactured weapons. See below in this document
⑤: Your Physical ability scores are now that of the Animal Form you selected (in this case, the Cat)
⑥: Your Character's Hit Points are grayed out, and your Animal form Hit Points appear in the Wild Shape HP box. When taking damage (using the DMG button) the Animal Form will take the damage first, and any excess will transfer to your Character. Below the Hit Points section, your Animal Form and Size are displayed.
⑦: The movement speeds of the Animal Form are listed, replacing your own speed.
⑧: All your Physical Skills are now using your Animal Form attributes. You keep all skill proficiency.
⑨: You gain any Save Advantage the Animal Form has, and get to keep any Save Advantage you had. Note that in TOS FIVE, the up arrow (↑) indicates Advantage, while the Down Arrow (↓) indicates disadvantage.
Seen Animals
The Dashboard allows you to select your Animal Form using a drop-down box for the Druid: Wild Shape ability. By default, ALL the animals included in TOS FIVE are listed. Preferably, you will want to see *only* the animals that you have "seen" as a Druid, which you can get from your Game Master. To set the list of animals your Druid has seen, go to the Customize worksheet, and click the blue Wild Shape: Seen Beasts quick-link found in the MISCELLANEOUS section.
