How it works

Shapechange

  • If you cast it with a pure class and not from an item, you take a stronger form of the shape, with higher ability scores and armor class.
  • Cast that way, it also gives +1 attack per round.
  • Cast that way, it cannot be dispelled. Resting or dying still removes it.
