In our Expedition to Ravenloft With Dungeon World campaign, the wizard polymorphed the thief into a roc and just flew them over to Castle Ravenloft. If you think that that's bad for.some reason, consider this: at 1st-level a Dungeon World druid can feasibly transform into a roc and carry the whole party about, as-is. Oh no, the druid can turn into a bird and, I dunno, carry a rope up a cliff face (because cliffs are a huge deal), or even have everyone hop into a bag of holding and just cart that about. I don't even much care about the utility: that's Dungeons & Dragons-grade bullshit, where people whine about how easy access to flying is "broken" because you can just fly over pits and such. While it is confusing and vague (especially for new Dungeon World players), that's not really why I don't like it. I've heard some people complain that it's confusing and vague, others about its overall utility and combat power. At any time, you may spend all your hold and revert to your natural form. Once you’re out of hold, you return to your natural form. The GM will also tell you one or more moves associated with your new form. You still use your normal stats but some moves may be harder to trigger-a housecat will find it hard to do battle with an ogre. You have any innate abilities and weaknesses of the form: claws, wings, gills, breathing water instead of air. You may take on the physical form of any species whose essence you have studied or who lives in your land: you and your possessions meld into a perfect copy of the species’ form. ✴On a miss hold 1 in addition to whatever the GM says. When you call upon the spirits to change your shape, roll+WIS. If you don't have the book on hand and/or are too lazy to check it out, here's the move in its entirety: Really though the big thing is that I just don't like Shapeshifter. It would be one thing if it was an advanced move, or a druid of the forest didn't need to eat so long as she was exposed to sunlight, but just a blanket exemption from eating and drinking? Come on: even animals have to eat and drink. Part of my problem is By Nature Sustained: I think it's kind of strange that all druids no longer need to eat or drink, period (just like I think it's strange that all cleric's have Turn Undead). Like most of the Dungeon World classes, I don't like the druid.
