{{Druid Skills}} | {{Druid Skills}}Shapeshifting allows the [[Druid]]s to manipulate their own flesh and form, taking on characteristics and capabilities of the beasts they have sworn to protect. Druidic warriors follow two paths: the path of the bear, and the path of the wolf. Some Shape-shifting skills are available only to a single animal form, while others are common to both wolf and bear forms. | ||
There is only one graphic for Werewolf or Werebear form. Weapons and armor do not show up, but your equipment is as important as it is for every other character. Weapons do just what they would in human form, but are given substantial bonuses by the wolf or bear modifiers. Listen to the sound of your weapon and pay attention to when you hit your weapon switch; it's possible to change to the wrong weapon and not realize it since there's no visual indication of the change. | There is only one graphic for [[Werewolf]] or [[Werebear]] form.

Druids in fur form can not fire or throw ranged weapons. Bows and other such items can be used, but they will deal their normal damage with melee hits. A big damage bow can be quite an effective melee weapon, though. | Druids in fur form can not fire or throw ranged weapons.
