If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can not use them.
- When you transform, you assume the beast’s hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form.

Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.
Starting at 6th level, the attacks you make in beast form count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Primal Nature

The creature is aware of this effect before it makes its attack against you.
Lycanthropic Wild Shape
At 11th level, you can expend two uses of Wild Shape at the same time to transform into a lycanthrope. When in lycanthropic form, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons.

In return, through a blood pact, these humanoids vowed to serve them and swore to also protect other creatures who were unable to do so. Through the blood pledge, these humanoids gained various abilities.

Spellcasting
At 3rd level, you have learned to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells, much as a druid does. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spell casting and chapter 11 for the ranger spell list in the PHB.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells. To cast one of your Ranger spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of Ranger spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Ranger spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Ranger spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your Ranger level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level Ranger, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With Wisdom of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Ranger spells requires time spent in meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spell casting ability for your ranger spells, since your magic draws on your attunement to nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spell casting ability.

Ritual Casting
You can cast a ranger spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.
Primal Mystic Path Spells
You gain access to these spells at the levels specified. Once you gain access to a path spell, you always have it prepared.
