| May 3, 2023 at 23:29 | comment | added | nben | @LouisWasserman The "beast shape" discussion about elementals seemed out of scope and likely up to the DM when I wrote the question so I left it out. I intended regeneration during elemental form but not any other non-shapeshift uses like the optional Wild Companion, Symbiotic Entity, or Starry Form—basically if it changes your physical stats, it counts. That said, I think I agree with linksassin's answer and am inclined to drop the regeneration in favor of +2 additional uses of Wild Shape; your comment points out another good reason to do this. | |

At a glance, I'm uncertain if even Moon Druids' elemental forms count as a "beast shape" for this rule. | |

In 5e, the rogue, druid, and paladin are the only classes that have truly amazing capstones, everyone else is kind of meh (not bad, but mediocre enough that it’s almost always going to be worth at least considering a 1-3 level dip in some other class instead). In earlier editions, it was a regular problem that a capstone only really supported one specific play style, and you were out of luck if it didn’t fit your character. | |
