This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Lose 2 on sleight of hand but +5 reach? Transformations feel very out of balance with each other. Other than cosmetic differences, the wolf transformation only adds a natural weapon (a strong one) and a tail. Meanwhile others are purely cosmetic, prevent you from wearing armor, give you extra limbs, remove your limbs, removes your grip, etc.
You can help D&D Wiki by better balancing the mechanics of this page. When the mechanics have been changed so that this template is no longer applicable please remove this template. If you do not understand balance please leave comments on this page's talk page before making any edits.
