So a druid with STR 3 would end up being a bear with STR 5?

I wouldn't say I have strong feelings, but it would seem strange to me.

Well, there are stat requirements that can fairly well balance this out.

Revised set of polymorphs above.  I'm still 50/50 on using the combat forms or just sticking with the utility forms.  I have tried to create a niche for each. 

Thoughts?
