Wild Shape and number of attacks question

[NuSair]

Level 18 druid (BAB +13/+8/+3) wild shapes in to a Dire Wolf. A Dire Wolf only has 1 attack (and gets only 1 attack even as a fill attack action http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/direWolf.htm ).

So, since characters keep the BAB when they change, would the druid get 3 attacks or just the 1? (I believe it's just 1, but I want to make sure)

The rules for natural weapons specifically say that they do not gain extra attacks on a full attack from BAB. The exact wording is "Creatures do not receive additional attacks from a high base attack bonus when using natural weapons."

I'd recommend going into a tiger or something similar if you want to make a decent full attack.

Oh...it's not FOR me... a player has been using BAB for additional attack (and doing some other things...) that I am correcting.

About 18 months ago I started a 3.5 campaign after not playing DnD in a LONGTIME (I want to say like 1988 was my last active game). So, I trusted the players on their characters. As I have worked myself back into the game and rules, I am coming across things that need.... corrected.

But, to be fair, this was something he pointed out to be that he was doing. But, I wanted to do my own research to make sure.

If you want to show him the exact rule in the book then it's page 312 in the Monster Manual under Natural Weapons.

Awesome... thanks.
