#2 JRutterbush Aug 11, 2014 3:24:49	Yup. But keep in mind, you don't get a whole ton of hit pointe with each form. But yeah, a 20th level Druid (especially a Moon Druid) can survive a long time by just using Wild Shape each round. Only the Moon Druid can do that and also attack each round, however.
