## Forward
The material in this supplement is a gift it to the community. For years players and DMs has sought more scalability and options for the Wild Shape feature, often lamenting the lack of CR 3 and higher beast options. Given that Wizards of the Coast has pulled back on introducing Wild Shape templates but is retaining the CR breakdown for druids, I have released these templates for all groups to use.

This project began after a comment I left on the Treantmonk's Temple channel on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@TreantmonksTemple) expressing disbelief that a template could capture the variance of options that Wild Shape permitted. Rather than leave it at that, I set out to prove myself wrong, the result of which you have before your eyes now. My thanks to Chris for inspiring me to tackle this challenge.

The templates you will find in this supplement are built to be accurate to the Challenge Rating model in the *Dungeon Master's Guide* and the druid class features, as well as to capture the range of traits to represent most animals. While I couldn't ensure 100% of all animals could be represented (the Giant Scorpion was the "white whale" of this endeavor, but one which I let go, lest I allow perfect to keep these from your hands, reader), you will find plenty of options.

Templates are divided between the core druid class and for the Circle of the Moon subclass. Tiny beasts have a separate template (this was to avoid the dreaded chihuahua chupacabra). The templates offer the druid a choice in traits to sculpt the beast form. Since the templates generate a beast, they are compatible with anything that references a beast stat block.

Of note, since the templates create a CR-appropriate beast, they don't increase the power of the class. Therefore, you can use them in any 5th edition game without changing the balance of the druid class or the Circle of the Moon. If you use house rules or third party supplements that augment a beast stat block, you will likely be able to apply those to these templates as well.

I hope you find these templates useful for your campaigns and they empower your D&D experience.

# Druid Wild Shape Template
Within this supplement, you will find templates for the Wild Shape feature for all druids, including explicit templates for druids of the Circle of the Moon. Each template is built to accurately represent the CR of a beast form a druid should take and were carefully created to simulate most animals in a way that is balanced for 5th edition D&D. The templates are intended to be power neutral, serving as the means to expand the range of higher level CR beasts without creating a lot of stat blocks.

The templates are compatible with any feature that uses CR-determined beasts, but using these outside of the Wild Shape feature, such as with the *conjure animals* spell may require interpreting the power to the equivalent druid level. For instance, building a CR 1/4 beast via the templates should use a 2nd-level druid as the base.

## Wild Shape Templates
While many campaigns use beast stat blocks to provide statistics for Wild Shape forms, some tables prefer templates. This section contains rules for using templates to determine the stats for a druid’s Wild Shape, including special templates for the Circle of the Moon awarded through an optional feature that can be used independently from the general druid wild shape template options. The templates provided are accurate to the CR of a beast form a druid could take using the guidelines as presented in the *Player’s Handbook*, and as such, the DM can allow players to freely use both beast and template stat blocks.

When you take on a beast form using the template, you use the Wild Shape Beast template, gain the Keen Sense trait, and choose one of the options from the Wild Shape Forms table which determines your speed, traits, and actions while in the form. If you take the form of a Tiny beast, you use the Tiny Beast template instead. At 4th and 8th level, your beast form statistics increase as indicated on the Wild Shape Level table. A Tiny beast always deals only 1 damage to a target with its attacks, regardless of its ability scores, and never increases its statistics.

##### Skill Proficiencies
At the DM’s discretion, you can gain one of the following skill proficiencies while in a beast form: Athletics, Perception, Stealth, Survival. You use the beast form’s Proficiency Bonus (+2) and its Strength or Dexterity modifier where appropriate. A Circle of the Moon druid’s beast form increases its proficiency bonus to +3 starting from 15th level.

Optionally, the DM may allow you to use your own proficiency bonus instead of the beast form’s, resulting in a higher ability check modifier than a normal beast would have.

#### Lunar Forms

###### *2nd-level Circle of the Moon feature*
When you use your Circle Forms feature to transform into a beast, you can choose to use the Standard Lunar Beast template instead of assuming a specific beast. The lunar beast form is Small or Medium sized, and you decide what form it takes, as appropriate to the fauna of the campaign.

Starting at 4th level, you can choose to use the Aquatic Lunar Beast template. When you reach 8th level, you can also choose to use the Aerial Lunar Beast template.

As you advance in level, the maximum size of a beast form you can assume increases, as defined on the Form Size table. The form’s size can increase its damage. Only the form's attacks which deal bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, including the damage from the Charge trait, are increased by size.

Your lunar beast form has 3 Hit Dice, which increase as you advance in this class as shown on the Form Statistics table. When a creature must make a saving throw against one of your beast form traits or attacks, you use your spell save DC.

When you select the Standard Lunar Beast template, you must select a movement option from the Standard Beast Movement table. You can’t select an option with a swimming speed unless you are at least 4th level in this class. Your movement option will also determine whether or not you get blindsight or darkvision. Aquatic Beast and Aerial Beast statistics have a predefined movement speed.

Your lunar beast form’s attack bonus from proficiency (AB) is +2. When you reach 15th level, the attack bonus increases to +3. You gain a bonus to damage in your lunar beast form (DB) equal to one third your level in this class when you hit with an attack granted by your beast form. The Form Statistics table displays these values.

{{note
##### Flavoring Templates
You can change the descriptive label for a template, such as flavoring the **Bite** attack as a beak.

You should be able to represent nearly any beast you imagine using the template mechanics and flavoring for the particulars of your vision.

{{note
##### Damage Dice
The DM may grant the druid the Large size damage die bonus for Medium-sized creatures starting from 9th level for nonaerial forms and 15th level for aerial forms as a means to allow the druid to better operate inside a dungeon. The flat damage bonus for Huge and Gargantuan sizes should remain tied to those sizes.
