Notes[]
- The treant used to the best choice for melee, exceeding that of the Dire Bear due to higher AC and damage. Plus it has quite a few immunities that the bear is lacking. However, as of 1.23, Dire Bear can benefit from Greater Magic Fang, while Treant cannot. It is also a very unwieldy shape due to its size and you will have to click quite a bit to make it attack a new foe after finishing off a previous one.
- The Treant Fire vulnerability can be easily countered by the Energy immunity spell as it's 9999/- damage resistance makes any vulnerability to corresponding damage type a non-issue.
- As of v1.12, the Plant Wild Shape uses a "Creature Weapon" rather than a true unarmed strike. As such, feats that grant bonuses specifically for unarmed strikes (such as Weapon Focus unarmed strike) do not apply while in Wild Shape. However feats that grant bonuses to all attack (such as Epic Prowess) still apply. Further to this, because it uses a "Creature Weapon" rather than a "true" unarmed strike, if you have levels in Sacred fist, you take a -8 attack penalty for using a "weapon".
- Unlike regular or Elemental Wild Shape, Plant Shape does not have any duration limit - transformation will last until either rest or forced canceling.
