D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Wildling Clasp equivalent?

[0-hr]

Did anything like the Wildling Clasp (which lets a piece of magical gear keep functioning when a druid changes form) ever make it into 3.5?


I'm using the Shapeshift variant from PHB II and having many of my stats change due to loss of periapts etc. really offsets a lot of the elegance of that option (though it is still leaps and bounds better than wildshape!).

I do believe there is an armor option in the MIC. You could talk with your DM about allowing you to adapt that to other objects.

Technically, the 3.5 update says anything not updated is still useable. Whether they need a adjustment is up to DM, but should be useable.

Are you sure they are broken when using the PHB2 shapeshifter variant? While broken when combined with the core wildshape rules, the PHB2 Variant really fixes the druid.

Certain? No, never statted things up with the variant. With a quick run-through on the variant, though, suggests the variant is balanced based on a lack of equipment... and at the high end, Wilding Clasps are basically little more than a 10% tax on your better pieces of equipment.
