Druids and Plant Wildshape

[Fawsto]

Sup, Guys.

So I am playing a druid and I am a little confused on what I exactly gain by wildshaping into plants, specifically about those nice nice immunities. Can you shed some light over this one?

Thanks, fellows.

Assuming this is about D&D 3.5e, wild shape works like alternate form, which explicitly states that the creature retains its type and subtypes.
Since a wild shaped druid does not have the plant type, you would not get the immunities of a plant creature.

For Pathfinder, the answer is also no.

Thanks.

Do you know any spell that grants you plant type, subtype or the immunities?

I vaguely remember the Wu Jen has a wood elemental spell that might fit that desire.

Do you know any spell that grants you plant type, subtype or the immunities?

Plant body, Druid 5, Spell Compendium page 159.

The Whiteshiver Elixir (1500 GP, Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk) will also give you the plant type for 10 minutes.

[Fawsto]

Yep, searched and found the same spell. Does what I need with a good duration to boot. Ya know, my character is about to fight some kind of multi-tongued aberration with some sort of maddening powers, so I assumed some plant immunities would come in handy.


Thanks, fellows!

In general, all wildshaping gives you is physical ability scores (but not a change to your HP), natural attacks, extraordinary special attacks, and movement modes. You do not get extraordinary special qualities, nor supernatural qualities of any sort.

Though of course, there are feats, PrCs, etc., that expand what you get.
