The Beast Within
The Beast Within is a Shaman talent.
It allows you to use your Wild Shape ability without shifting your physical form.
Like Wild Shape, it may be activated as a free action once/rd (counts as using Wild Shape for that round). It does not remove any of your existing physical abilities, nor deprive you of the use of your weapons and armor, nor even prevent you from casting spells.
You cannot use any of the physical abilities or maneuvers of any form you take; you only gain the basic traits and any supernatural or spell-like abilities.
If you have any talents or glyphs that affect a given form, you gain the full benefit of those, where applicable.
Instead of the normal benefits of each form, consult the list below:
