Make Plantshep Have Your Totem Appearance

Post by Symstix »

I'd like to suggest that all plantshapes, while maintaining their stats, strengths and weaknesses, have the apparance of their user's totem animal, since that's what happens with all other druid feat-shapeshifts already.

It would greatly benefit Roleplay, in my humble opinion. For instance, I'm considering NOT getting plantshape on my totem druid for he is a serpent charmer, and I'd rather transform into a serpent than a weird vegetable.

Totem Druids change how wildshape works by changing the feat to a new one with a different statblock, it is an ability only available to totems. Being a totem does not change the appearance of other polymorph options like elemental shape or polymorph self. These have their own unique statblocks and need to be recognized as such. Going to have to reject this one.
