Last time we fought beast we got obliterated almost immediately. I wouldn't mind having the swarm for this round. But PvP it feels a little unbalanced. like I said though, final say is with the DM. If allowing the swarms is their ruling then I stand behind their decision.

The arena blares with a green light pillar. This match is not a vs match, but against the beasts! The kid comes down. Hello! Welcome to the arctic! I guess. Is there lava in the arctic? Never been. Anyway, you’re in for a treat. Go ahead..... this is one of our favorite pets.

Not that they need my approval or anything
(Don’t worry. I put counters on it. I told him he could turn into a swarm, but due to it being multiple beasts, it uses multiple wildshape uses.)
(also that was before I knew that there was a group multiplier, so the whole ‘hoard of crawling claws’ incident was my bad.)

Haven’t used this account in forever. Still a big fan of crawling claws.
(That makes more sense, but it seems like that would almost be the same thing as not allowing it.)

So it's like each animal in the swarm counts as 1 use?

Also beddy-bye, lordshadowthorn, you both chose the same starting point
(You only get 2 used of Wild Shape, so it would have to be 2 for 1 swarm. Which, IMO, isn’t really worth it, but that doesn’t really matter here.)
