Change Shape (1/Day)

The shaman magically polymorphs into a beast with a CR of 3 or less, and can remain in this form for up to 6 hours. The shaman can choose whether their equipment falls to the ground, melds with their new form, or is worn by the new form. The shaman reverts to their true form if they die or fall unconscious. The shaman can revert to their true form using a bonus action on their turn. While in a new form, the shaman retains their game statistics and ability to speak, but their AC, movement modes, Strength, and Dexterity are replaced by those of the new form, and they gain any special senses, proficiencies, traits, actions, and reactions that the new form has but that they lack.
