Yes, elementals at CR 5 are pretty okay at level 18. Ugh, I hate to necro a quote this far back, but this statement is partly true and partly false. items, you could just drop them/place them somewhere, and then just retrieve them after the transformation.
For wands, rods, staves, weapons and various misc. The Earth should be able to make the transformation fairly easily, and has a far greater range of possibilities. They circle the creature and don't even have to go through the magical adjustment in the change, as they don't attach to the body. The best thing for the first three elements would be Ioun Stones. Although Fire resistant items, that did other things, would be useful and not be ruined being worn.Īnd what would stay on an air or water elemental? Yes the ring of protection would adjust to the size of an appendage of the water elemental, but then fall through the water to land on the floor, even more so for the air elemental.Īn Earth Elemental could don most things a humanoid can wear, as long as he was in his large humanoid form. Gee, what would happen to a fire elemental holding a wooden staff? Answer: first kindling, then ash (and possibly an explosion?). The Heat Metal spell gives a great example of this. I am not aware of anything that would be on a Fire Elemental that wouldn't be damaged by it. You really have to make a couple of realistic choices. So as long as the item is magical and it is physically possible to don such item(s), then they will adjust to fit the new wildshape form. Magical items do adjust to the wearer, no size limitation, and even strange pairings like rings on tentacles are OK, only not impossible ones like snakes have no feet for boots. 144, non-magical equipment does not adjust, so you have two choices, drop or merge.Īs per DMG pg. Anyone have thoughts about other items like cloaks, rings, and amulets.īesides the elemental form what other allowances have you seen in your games? Do DM's allow armor for animal forms like a World of Warcraft druid?Įdit: corrected size of an elemental from medium to largeĪs per PHB pg. So I am thinking a elemental could wield a staff and wear armor for sure.
Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it.Below I have the part of the wild shape ability that is relevant for discussion: Seems like they should be able to wear anything a humanoid can. A elemental is a medium large creature with a humanoid shape. I would like to hear everyone's opinion on what type of equipment a druid in a elemental form can wear.
