Wild Shape Alternate Progression (5e Class Feature)

Wild Shape Alternate Progression

2nd-level optional feature (enhances Wild Shape)

The standard progression of druid wild shape assumes that the druid starts on land, with wild shape options restricted to creatures with no swimming or flying speed. However, what if you're playing a triton druid and the game starts under the sea? Land-based wild shapes make no sense.

Here is the following solution: if you're playing a character with a swimming speed, you can replace the Beast Shapes table with the following table when you gain access to the Wild Shape feature.

Beast Shapes

Level	Max. CR	Limitations	Example
2nd	1/4	No flying speed, must have a walking speed of 5 ft. or less	Octopus
4th	1/2	No flying speed	Crocodile
8th	1	—	Giant eagle
