[QUOTE="shai-hulud, post: 3353185, member: 49973"] Well, to answer your question, I refer you to the Natural Spell feat. A druid usually cannot perform the verbal or somatic components of a spell in their wildshaped form. But with the feat, they can. From purely a rules point of view, I would think it would be impossible for the monkey to perform the verbal components. From a House Rules point of view, I would say that at first, the monkey would not be able to cast spells at all. He would need to get used to his new form. Then, at some later time, I might allow him to retrain using the PHB II variant for retraining, to replace one of his feats. The new feat would grant him something akin to Natural Spell, allowing him to cast spells as a monkey.
