Wild Shape: Sabre-Toothed Tiger
The Sabre-Toothed Tiger Wild Shape proves valuable primarily in combat and as a group damage dealer, providing a crowd control effect and high hit points. As a Sabretooth, you have a decent strength ability score with a high hit points pool of 62 that will be higher at levels 10 and 12. In addition to survivability, the wild shape has fantastic damage.
While the bite can make enemies prone, which is already a fantastic bonus, your shred armor ability can lower the Armor Class AC of the enemy to become lower by 1 for 2 turns. All of those special buffs and debuffs the saber-tooth can apply greatly increase their damage against affected enemies.
Additionally, this wild Shape can successfully make enemies Prone, an area status effect that, if successfully applied, your Sabre-tooth will deal more damage against that enemy. Thanks to the high Armor Class and decent stats, the Sabre-Toothed Tiger is extremely survival and has a strong, wild shape. It will serve in mid to late-game combat and also during exploration.
Similar to all druid’s wild shapes, the Bear has a special self-healing ability called Lunar Mend that can restore some of your hit points without spending a spell slot.
