I was also sort of annoyed they gave land druid access to all but 1 of the forms by ignoring CR chart, and also the only special form they gave Moon druid is polar bear. (sarcastic tone) Like Yea we commit our class to wild shape and what do we get to show from it, just polar bear, and not even a good polar bear, just a massively nerfed to hell version that is garbage considering its our sub class focus. Its a massive slap in the face really.
If you want to give moon druid a bear give us brown bear , its CR1 ( I know it has a swim speed, but really do you really see us using swimming at all in this game, so it would be moot.) Land druids should be getting forms of the cat CR0, the giant badger.CR1/4 if they changed the giant spider to giant wolf spider the CR would work making it CR1/4, the raven CR 0, the deep rothe CR 1/4, if later they allow us to learn forms we have seen boar would also work for land druid being CR 1/4. Land druid should not have access to dire wolf since its CR 1, and polar bear since its CR 2... if they want a bear form for land druid its called black bear CR 1/2 ( Land druid wouldn't get access to it til lvl 4)
Moon druid can use CR 1 forms at lvl 2 for a bear we could use CR2 polar bear at lvl 6 , but if you want to give us a bear at lvl 2 that would be brown bear CR 1. also could use dire wolf, CR 1, the actual giant spider is also CR 1. my advice is get the stat blocks right like as listed in the PHB. From Volo's guide to monsters I would love us getting the form Deinonychus CR1 with its 3 part multiattack, which if you look atthe underdark they gave the Myconids a three part multiattack, might have changed with updates, but even Helsin's bear form has muliattack.
Moon Druids can start at CR1 forms and can use at lvl 6 the CR of a form equal to 1/3 there druid lvl, so at lvl 6 they can use CR2, they can use CR3 at lvl 9, at lvl 10 they get elemental wildshape ( which allows use CR5 elementals), then CR4 at lvl 12, then CR5 at lvl 15, and finally CR6 at lvl 18. Flying forms for all druids is at lvl 9, swimming forms is techncially at lvl 4 for all druids, but again is moot unless Larian has some places only a moon druid can go or there is some underwater adventures planned.
