Where can I find stats on druid's shiftshape skill? I can't find it on the manual or the net. I mean, where do I find out the difference between shifting to bear, black bear, and wolf?

I'm new to this game, though this game is much harder to learn compared to planescape torment.

and one more thing, these are just the stats, so i don't think they include the special abilites.

and while I'm at it... Whats the difference between black and brown bear?

In real life I'd back a brown bear before a black bear. Black bears are usually rather mild, in comparison.
