[QUOTE="The Grassy Gnoll, post: 6705835, member: 6788652"] *Pop* Can of worms. A lot of debate re: racial abilities transferring over (eg half Orc relentless or whatever it's called). I'm on the side of "no" as a racial trait refers to your physical form and your physical form is no longer the same. Goes both ways so a drow Druid could wild shape to avoid sunlight sensitivity, for example. If you have a mc character there are some abilities that COULD transfer sibling as your best shape allows it (eg a fighter/Druid could employ defensive fighting style as a bear but a monk/Druid couldn't utilise flurry of blows as I'd rule the blows are a combo of punches, kicks, and more importantly a suitable centre of gravity honed over many years as a humanoid), though others differ in their interpretation. I rule all items merge so I'd allow a post-change ring to be added, yes, but wouldn't count an existing ring that wasn't removed beforehand. I'd be tempted to make some special items that can transform as a special find but gets be the exception rather than the norm. [/QUOTE]
