    It drives me nuts when bad DMs metagame and have the guards just decide to spend arrows on wild shape animals. I ended up just always playing rogues with that guy by the end because then I could just roll, and he never let us rest.

      It’d be the perfect moment honestly.

      A guard sees the rat and screams. He’s terrified of rats… the other guards write off the room as-is and leave, making fun of their fearful comrade on the way down the hall.

        I was using wild shape forms more than I was humanoid.

        Where I’m from that’s called “being a Druid”. You were right to be pissy.

        I cheered when I got to the level that allowed me to be always wildshaped (d&d 3.5) a DM punishing a player for using their abilities is wrong

          I may have been fucking up puzzles and other stuff for everyone else but just going through, under, or over everything and either unlocking it for the party or doing tasks solo. I would rather not make things unfun for everyone else.
