Renshouj: Clarified Prereq in relation to Shifter levels

{{FeatInfo
|type=Druid, Epic
|Prereq=Character 21, 25 druid levels or 20 Shifter levels (likely, in reality, 20 Shifter levels + 5 Druid levels)
|Req=No longer required for [[Dragon Companion]] (see page)
|Specifics=The character may use wild shape to change into a [[dragon]]. The transformation has a duration of 1 hour per class level.
|Use=Selected (must choose which type of dragon)

Dragon Shape varies in strength according to your druid level:
* A level 30 druid becomes a 30 HD Dragon
* A level 28-29 druid becomes a 28 HD Dragon
* A level 27 or lower druid becomes a 25 HD Dragon.

==Notes==

The following stats are obtained from Dragon Shape:

* STR 37 DEX 16 CON 27
* 2d8+1 damage
* 17 AC (Type: Natural).
* For pure druids: +1 dodge AC at 28/29/30 lvls
* Damage Reduction is equal to (DRUID_LVL - 15)/-
* Spell resistance is equal to DRUID_LVL - 5
* Size: Large (+1 AC, +1 AB, -4 Size checks, no immunity to Bigby 6)
* Movement speed bonus: 20%. Does not stack with spells.
* Immunity: Mind effects, [[Paralysis]], [[Sneak attack]]
* True Seeing
* Racial type Dragon

*All creature weapons in Wild Shapes now inherit the permanent properties from gloves/bracers/gauntlets

==New Abilities==

'''Breath weapon:''' The dragon exhales elemental energy. Each creature caught in the area must make a DC=DRUID_LVL Reflex saving throw, taking (DRUID_LVL x d6 damage) on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The shape of the area and the type of damage depend on the color of the dragon:

* Red: 30 ft cone / fire
* Black: 60 ft line / acid
* Blue: 60 ft line / electrical
* Bronze: 60 ft line / electrical

This ability has a 2 minute cooldown.

 '''Wing Buffet:''' The dragon beats its wings. Each creature within 20 ft. of the dragon must succeed on a DC=DRUID_LVL Reflex saving throw or take (DRUID_LVL / 2 x d6) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone for 1 round.

This ability has a 2 minute cooldown.

 '''Frightful Presence:''' Each hostile creature that is within 30 feet of the dragon must succeed on a DC=DRUID_LVL Will saving throw or become Shaken for 1 minute. The effect is empowered against creatures with less than (DRUID_LVL/3) Hit Dices and they become Frightened instead. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the dragon's Frightful Presence for the next 24 hours.

==Bugs==
* If the wizard's spell [[Enlarge Person]] or the cleric's [[Righteous Might]] is cast on the druid BEFORE he transforms into a dragon, the result is a dragon form that looks 10 times larger than its supposed to look.

* If [[Reduce Animal]] is cast on bear form, that shape cancelled and then dragon shape taken on by the druid it will crash the game or cause the dragon to walk on the underside of the walkmesh in an area.

* Deep Gnomes that transform into Dragon Shape retain their racial SR of 41 rather than the dragon shapes SR of 22.

The Sword Coast is full of dangers, and while adventuring your character may find themselves getting kicked down to an inch of their lives. Don't be alarmed, however, as that is often not the end for such prestigious adventurers!

In BGTSCC, once a character drops below a certain treshhold of HP, they will "die". That is, they'll be transported to the Fugue where they have a couple choices of how to continue their journey:
Either accepting the death as a true death and retiring the character, waiting to be rescued by a friend or kind soul, or speaking with Cyric and being ressurected to the land of the living - at a cost.

A character is encouraged to treat their "death" as a knockout instead of a true death, unless there's further reason for why actual death is warranted.

Characters do not recall anything that happened in the Fugue, and in many ways it is an "OOC" zone; Sending in character tells from the fugue plane is also frowned upon as meta-gaming. In the event that your character met his demise at the hands of another player in a PvP situation the no-memory rule extends further than the stay in the Fugue. It means that your character cannot recall or remember how he died and what immediate events led up to his death.

== Ressurecting Others ==

When a PC stumbles on the body of another PC, there are a few things that can be done to help them, some, however, are limited by the amount of time the person has been dead/KOd:
Up to 5 minutes after being downed, a use of the spell Stabilize or the Bloodstaunch consumable may be used to bring them back.
Up to 10 minutes after being downed, the use of Recall Spirit or Revivify may be employed.
After 10 minutes have passed, players must use Raise Dead, Resurrection, or an NPC priest in order to raise the downed PC, each of those options have their cost.

== Recovery System ==

The cost for a character to choose to self-rezz through Cyric is the "Recovery System", implemented in mid 2023;

When you respawn, your character receives a temporary debuff reducing their combat effectiveness. This debuff cannot be cleared by anything short of DM intervention, and its duration scales with character level. Respawning while affected by the debuff replaces it with a harsher debuff and resets the timer. Spending time in the Fugue or offline pauses the timer.

'''Minor Recovery'''
Debuff lasts for 1 minute per character level, with a minimum of 10 minutes.
Level drain equal to 1/8 of character level, rounded up.
-2 to all ability scores.

'''Exhausting Recovery'''
Debuff lasts for 2 minutes per character level. (The 10-minute minimum is the same, though.)
Level drain equal to 1/4 of character level.
-4 to all ability scores.

'''Severe Recovery'''
Debuff duration is unchanged.
Level drain equal to 1/3 of character level.
-6 to all ability scores.

'''Traumatic Recovery'''
Debuff duration is unchanged.
Level drain equal to 1/2 character level.
-8 to all ability scores.
Keep in mind that although there is no debuff tier greater than Traumatic Recovery, the timer will still reset every time you respawn.

== If you've died ==
If your character has died he cannot recall anything that happened in the fugue or his encounter with Myrkul, or any players there. Sending in character tells from the fugue plane is also frowned upon as meta-gaming. In the event that your character met his demise at the hands of another player in a PvP situation the no-memory rule extends further than the stay in the Fugue. It means that your character cannot recall or remember how he died and what immediate events led up to his death.

== Heretics, Faithless and worshippers of Demons, Devils and Dead Gods ==
Characters who serve a heresy, dead god, archdevil, demon prince, or who are Faithless can no longer self-rez by default, and they cannot be resurrected with the Raise Dead or Resurrection spells by default. They can still be brought back with Stabilize, Bloodstaunch, Revivify, or Recall Spirit, up to the maximum of 5 minutes (Stabilize/Bloodstaunch) or 10 minutes (Revivify/Recall Spirit) after death.

Heretics with the Heretic of the Fallen Feat, dead god worshipers with the Servant of the Fallen Feat, archdevil worshipers with the Disciple of Darkness feat, and demon prince worshipers with the Thrall to Demon feat can self-rez and be resurrected normally. Faithless characters can never self-rez or be raised if dead longer than 10 minutes. This only affects heretics/dead god worshipers/archfiend worshipers/Faithless characters, characters who follow all other gods continue to play normally.

Wish and Miracle can be used to bring back heretics/dead god worshipers/archfiend worshipers/Faithless characters who have died after the 10 minute maximum, with DM support.

== Permanent Death ==
Baldur's Gate does not have forced permanent death for characters. Dungeon Masters will never pursue such a thing unless a player consents. In that case it may be possible for the Dungeon Masters to organize some events leading to the character's permanent demise / retirement. At this point you can then delete the retired character via the [http://bgtscc.wikia.com/wiki/XP_Tranfering RCR NPC] in the nexus.
