"Don't worry the fire stings at first but then your flesh melts off and its over pretty quick after that." Brings me back to the bardic inspiration song... "Nixie says concerning things, and mostly ends up burning things."

[@davidwuhrer6704]

After your flesh melts off, the fire doesn't sting anymore.

[@Robynhoodlum]

Ya know, Nixie’s not wrong. Once your nerve endings are destroyed you can’t really feel the pain anymore. And with all those feathers and fur, he’d probably die of smoke inhalation first.

I wonder how many people will see this and not get the joke that Druids can't wildshape into Owlbears as they lack the "beast" tag required for wild shape, also Owlbears are CR 3 which additionally most druids can't reach (circle of the moon druids can at level 9+). For those curious, the only way a druid could become an owl bear is with the 9th level spell shape change (available at druid level 17) or having another class like wizard or sorcerer true polymorph them, all of which, Owlbear would be a wasteful choice generally speaking, for these spells which could say turn you into an adult gold dragon or ancient brass dragon instead.
