@JeremyECrawford If a Barbarian/Druid character uses Wild Shape while raging, does their rage damage bonus apply to their attacks? What about with animals like a Poisonous Snake where the animal's attack bonus appears to be Dexterity-based?

The barbarian's Rage feature doesn't require you to be in a certain form for it to work.
And the bonus it grants to damage rolls does requires the melee weapon attack to use Strength. #DnD https://t.co/iwTnESOgN6

That being said, don't things like Polymorph specify that you lose class features?

Class feature X doesn't require you to be in a certain form to use it.
Spell Y changes your form and prevents you from using class features.
You therefore don't get to use class feature X while you're under the effects of spell Y.
D&D is a game of exceptions. #DnD https://t.co/AfrYA1SYmc
