Since BG3 has been in early access for a while there is a lot of outdated or guesswork info on wikipedias and forums, sometimes even the in-game UI may be misleading.
I like the concept of druid animal forms but to make them "suck less" usually you have to take all the Unarmed/Fist feats & multi-class Monk bonuses - because for some reason being a Tavern Brawler & a Monk makes my Spider form better at biting...
Does anyone please have up-to-date info on are Druid animal forms affected by feats like Tavern Brawler and Monk stuff? Thanks for explaining.
Druid animal forms aren't impacted by basically anything. They're class actions, not weapon attacks, not unarmed attacks, not improvised weapons, so none of that applies.
Half of Tavern Brawler works for animal forms. They get the To Hit bonus but not the Damage bonus. Still absolutely worth taking though, as it's more or less the only way to boost Wildshape performance.
It doesn't work with the elemental forms that use weapons. It might work with the earth elemental as it slams things with its fists, but I am unsure.
