Animal forms
At levels 2 and 5 a druid may use their 'Wild Shape' feat to change into an animal.
 * You are considered an animal. This renders you immune to spells and abilities that only work on humanoid targets, and Warforged will no longer suffer from the penalty to healing.
 * You have a -2 penalty to Intelligence and Charisma.
 * While in animal form, you will no longer use your equipped weapons for attacking, removing any benefits and drawbacks you would have from attacking with them, but use natural attack "weapons" specific to the form you are in. However you still get most of the additional effects from your equipped weapons:
 * The ability that determines your attack and damage bonus is strength. Abilities that change the ability that applies to damage such as Flame Blade or Weapon Finesse do not change the damage and attack of your natural attack.
 * The main hand will transfer any treasure effects to your natural attacks, e.g. the Flaming effect. The off-hand/shield will not transfer such effects, also shield Bash doesn't proc while in animal form.
 * Stat bonuses, skill bonuses, stunning, etc. apply from both hands
 * AC and other bonuses from any shields you may be using.
 * Ranged weapons can be wielded and their effects apply to your natural weapons.
 * Non-returning thrown weapons do not get consumed.
 * Arrows and bolts have no effect.
 * Feats that grant bonuses to Unarmed weapons, such as Weapon Focus: Bludgeoning will apply to your natural weapons.
 * You cannot use wands or scrolls while in animal form.
 * Animal forms increase the cooldown times of your non-animal form spells to 2.5 times their normal length.
 * Animal form special attacks are considered spells, so to use them you must first prepare them in your spell book.

 * You have racial immunity to natural poisons, sleep, paralysis and stun, and 100% bonus to fortification.

 * You must prepare your elemental form spells as normal and do not receive additional spell preparation slots for them.

Water Elemental

 * Your fire spells get a -3 penalty to caster level and max caster level.
 * You gain a +10 racial bonus to cold resistance, and -10 electric resistance.

Warforged

 * You are considered an animal (or magical beast) or elemental when you change form. If you are a warforged you are no longer considered a living construct. You can now be healed normal by positive energy spells, you become immune to repair spells and rust damage, your healing when you rest is based on the heal skill, and you lose your racial immunities to sleep energy drain, poison,etc. You also lose the benefits of warforged healers friend enhancements.

Monk
}}
 * If you have monk levels, the damage of your animal form matches that of your monk unarmed damage, which means at low levels it will decrease your damage in bear form, but as you progress, the damage will increase as normal for monk.
 * Weapon Focus: Unarmed (granted by Weapon Focus: Bludgeoning) and other effects that improve unarmed attacks also affect the attacks of animal/magical beast forms.
 * Two Weapon Fighting does not affect your attacks in animal form, irrespective of any levels in monk.
 * Monk stances can be used in animal form, as long as you are centered.
 * The spell Flame Blade will not uncenter you and the blade's strength improves with your caster level. However, Wisdom bonus to hit and damage does not apply in animal form.
 * If you are a monk, and have two non druid (eg kama) weapons equipped, your damage in animal form will revert to the base damage of the animal, instead of the monk Unarmed Strike damage. You will also get no benefit of the magical properties of either weapon. (to work around this, only have one weapon equipped as you shift, then the damage will be calculated properly)
