| Dec 9, 2021 at 15:16 | comment | added | Gandalfmeansme | @lunatamis Don't most classes need years of training to become as specialized at their class traits as they are? Wouldn't a rogue be trained to use their cunning action in their own body, or a fighter be trained to action surge in their own body? I don't think I understand what "You retain the benefit of any features from your class... and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so" would mean if we say that it doesn't apply to class features you learned to use as a humanoid: isn't that all of them? | |

Or is it that they can't be trained in such a granular way as to learn them? I could understand how a crocodile could not wield a staff (no thumbs), but I don't see what would make it incapable of making an unarmed strike. | |

| Feb 11, 2018 at 14:29 | comment | added | lunatamis | I agree with @Szega, but I would take it a step further and say that, categorically, no wild shape would allow you to use martial arts skills. The training required for this requires years of dedication to achieve perfect attunement to ones physical body (and mind, etc.). Having a different physical body would nullify this physical training while in that form. | |
