Animal Forms

Included below is a list of Beast Forms available to Druids and their Wild Shape Feature, as well as Animal Companions for Beastmaster Rangers and Spring Circle Druids. There are a number of limitations depending on the Class, Level, and Subclass of the Character using these options, with Animal Companions having limitations on Size, and Wild Shapes being limited by movements. Magical Armours by their nature reshape to the users size, but any Animal Companions using Attunement Items must take an Attunement Slot from their Player Character.
 
For Animal Companions, they will also gain proficiency in two skills of your choice. Animal Companions can benefit from your Natural Explorer and Favoured Enemy Features, and use charges from your Tireless Explorer Feature. Animal Companions can be dismissed into a harmless pocket plane, much like a Familiar, but it requires a full minute to retrieve them from said Plane. If an Animal Companion is killed, you can expend a Spell Slot of 1st level or higher to Resurrect it, also taking a minute to complete.
 
Animal Companions act on your Initiative, doing what you command them to do. If given no orders they will take the Dodge Action. If you are Unconsious of Dead, they will attempt to protect your corpse and seek your Resurrection when possible.
