Wildshape (polymorph) question

[Epametheus]

What qualities carry over from a person's natural form to a form assumed by polymorph? I know you gain the Ex. attack forms inherent to the new shape, but what carries over to this shape? Supernatural qualities? Extraordinary qualities?

I'm suddenly wondering about this, because I want to know if a druid that turns into an animal loses his immunity to poison.

I think the answer would be yes, but I'd like to make sure.

maybe someone will answer this for you but I thought I would give you the information on where to look for this so you won't have to wait

Yes, you would still retain Venom Immunity.

Venom Immunity is an Extraordinary ability. Wild Shape states that it acts like Polymorph, which states that it acts like Alter Self. Alter Self states that:

You keep all extraordinary special attacks and qualitites derivied from class levels (such as a barbarian's rage ability)...

Ah, okay. Thanks!

I thought you kept all class-gained abilities when changing shape (not just wild shape, but including polymorph, etc.). 'Cept for ones that aren't possible with certain forms, like a wizard's somatic spells when in snake form or similar such situations.
