Druids, who have become attuned to nature and its inhabitants, are able to call on the patron gods who favor the animals. Certain gods take the form of animals when they visit this realm, to better serve their interests. Magical spells are taught to druids which grants them power from that god and gives the abilty to change into the form that god takes when he decides to walk among the mortals. Bears, owls, unicorns, and shrikes are a few of the choices one may attempt to change into. This is only a temporary change, lest one become trapped in the form of an animal, while useful is not a desirable effect to become permanent.

• Shapechanges increase your Str, Dex, Int or Wis, or combination of two of these. Stat bonus is full when one stat is boosted, and halved when two stats are boosted.
• You cannot use any skills as Owl, Parrot or Unicorn.
• You cannot cast any spells as Bear, Panther or Shrike.
• You can't wield any weapons in some forms.
• While shapechanged, exprate is lower than in regular form. Original exprate is used as base and modified by penalty from shapechange form.
• The spell will wear out during time, but the duration is usually very long. Death instantly resets you to your normal form though, as does the spell Restore. Forms that are unable to cast spells can restore themselves with druid staff.
