How to use Wild Shape: Bear in BG3
Unlocked at level two as a Druid, Wild Shape: Bear allows the user to transform into a bear both inside and outside of combat engagements. Within combat, this transformation takes up an Action, unless the character uses it as Combat Wild Shape, learned only by the Druid Subclass Circle of the Moon, in which it's used as a Bonus Action instead. Mainly used in combat, the bear can be said to be regarded as the most reliable Wild Shape transformation early on in the game. The bear transformation boasts great offensive, defensive, and health stats, carrying the highest health stat, Constitution, and Strength Ability Scores out of all transformations learned until the fourth level. Its Goading Roar Action synergizes well with these stats, as it grabs the attention of Enemies within range; protecting your allies while allowing yourself to put your high power to good use. Bears have moderate speed, allowing movement at the same distance as the Wild Shape: Badger transformation. Unlike the badger, however, the bear transformation is able to climb higher structures.

Aw man this is a polar bear? They're cool and all, but for the setting I would've preferred a brown one :(

They really didn’t need to nerf the bears multi attack, the low AC on wild shale forms balances them. Moon druids are really only super good at lvls 2-5, they aren’t as good at higher levels.

Why did they pick polar bear? A grizzly would of made more sense.

Important to note that all wildshapes get a damage buff at level 4. Bear gets an extra 1d4 added on, and will be 2d4 + 1d4 +4
The game doesn't mention this anywhere so I'll throw it here.

RaW for 5e, shouldn't the brown bear get 2 attacks? One with its bite and one with its claws. I know that they nerfed goodberry, but are they gonna make Combat Wild Shape useless too?
It have useless damage, but provoke work really nice.
