10-17-06, 05:42 PM Can a druid cast animal growth on him/herself whilst wildshaping? Would it have to be cast before wildshaping, or would it need to be cast using natural spell while in animal form?

10-17-06, 05:53 PM If Wildshape makes the druid into a legal target for Animal Growth, the spell should work on him.

I'm not quite sure if Wildshape changes the druid's type. It may be based on polymorph or shapechange, I thought you could find info about it in the PHB errata.

IF Wildshape makes the druid an animal, then he could cast the spell on himself with natural spell. Else he can't.

If I remember correctly, a spell keeps working even if you stop being a legal target, so if you could wildshape, then cast Animal Growth on yourself, then change back into a human, you may still have the bonuses from Animal Growth.

New, Errata'd Wildshape? No, you can't. (You now keep your own type when wildshaped)

New, Errata'd Wildshape? No, you can't. (You now keep your own type when wildshaped)Exactly.
