Druids are missing improved animal forms

As stated in the title, my level 13 druid 1 shifter character cannot wildshape into dire animal shapes. She still turns into normal animals.

This is a pretty serious problem for the druid, essentially making wildshape useless after a certain level and removing a key class feature.

Friend Cowbot,

Thank you for the information - that is certainly odd. We'll review this asap and get back to you.

-Dire bear
-Dire wolf
etc...

Think they are in the journal for druids under shapeshifting.

Mainly because people complained about not having the nice forms anymore, so just added instead of replacing.

I hadn't thought to open my journal. I see them listed there, but then what? My runestone doesn't let me access these forms, and my radial menu doesn't have them either.

There is no explanation in the journal for how to actually shift into those forms.

Oh. now you mention it, I don't think it's mentioned anywhere... We sort of talk about it at times in the tutorial

Right here goes,

Casting custom spells,
into the talk bar (where normally say things) start with the Minus sign (-) followed by the spell.

Such as
-Dire wolf

So you actually speak the spoken part of the spell, in this case a druid form.

Other spells such as Clean armor currently wearing using the clean cantrip:

-tank armor

Thanks! I had actually just figured it out with ODA's help. Thanks for the explanation!

Better journal documentation would help. It doesn't say to put -Sea in front of all the sea forms, either.

I don't remember it being in the tutorial, but I think I missed some parts of it.

All the bird forms have 50 dex!! Holy smokes!

Is that intended? It makes them waaaay better than my shifter's wyrmling forms.

Edit: the parrots can't talk! I want to ask for crackers!
