How exactly does that spell work? I read the PHB and it just confused me more.

If I chose Minotaur as one of my forms, do I get the strength adjustment that goes with it?

Or is this just some sort of illusion?

It states that if the creature I choose has wings I can fly, so what about big mussels?

Thanks

You retain your own ability scores.

You can change into an infinite number of forms...but they must be of your type.

Problem is, the only humanoids that can fly are in FR, so the example they give is screwy.
