There have been various reports from within WotC that are inconsistent. If you want a clear answer, keep bugging WotC until they put together a web enhancement that clarifies this whole mess.The most common interpretation that I have seen  is:1.) You generally use the normal attack routine of the adopted form. For instance, a druid in wolverine form may make 2 claw attack at full BAB and one bite attack at BAB -5.2.) You may use your normal attack routine if the new form can use manufactured weapons. For instance, a human polymorphed into an ogre may use his normal attack routine.3.) If the form has more than 2 of the same limb, a humanoid polymorphed into that form may only use 2 of that limb to attack. For instance, a humanoid polymorphed into an octopus may only make 2 arm (tentacle) attacks.4.) If the form is capable of mixing manufactured weapon attacks and natural attacks, a creature polymoprhed into that form may do the same (example: troglodytes can make manufactured weapon attacks, claw attacks and bite attacks all at once).5.) Certain special attacks may result in circumstances that break these rules. Many DMs have adopted these rules. Many other DMs have adopted other rules. Custserv@wizards has given out multiple conflicting pieces of advice. I have personally received directly conflicting advice from wizards on the exact same questions, sent in one month apart. My suggestion: Before one game session, the DM from your group and the players in your group should sit down, talk out how you think it should work and come to a decision. Then, stick to it and make it work until WotC gets around to providing a definite set of rules that clarifies this whole mess.</blockquote>
