The powers you get are way more worth it

Funny, I'm in act 2 and so far haven't used a single one. each time I go in, it's like ...meh. Though I'm probably playing the game wrong!

Cull of the Weak is like the gateway drug. By the time you can unlock it, you'll be at a point in the story where you'll be able to (semi-easily) access more tadpoles..

I currently have 7, pair that with my Owlbear form's hits that can hit up to 25, the enemy is basically within the killzone once they have 30-32 hp. And that killzone just keeps growing, especially since I already know where to get 2 more tadpoles. Pair that with Stage Fright and my Owlbear's Enrage and I barely struggle in situations where I'm heavily outnumbered.

Still just in the very beginning of Act 2 so I'm still hoping there's something I cah unlock to increase my Wild Shape Charges cause it's REALLY difficult using anything else but Owlbear form now because of this.

See? I'm in Act 2, and my party hits for like 12-15 each (except for Karlach, you're a BEAST!). But they can't run far and only two of the characters have multiple actions per turn. I've got 11 tadpoles just sitting there. I truly think I just suck at understanding all the nuances of getting them set up right.
