[QUOTE="Shadowsong666, post: 4731004, member: 71808"] You don't have any attack. But well, you could trick your way around that with a magic armor. ;) Dragon Magazine 369 - Feral Armor It gives you a claw attack with a +3 prof. light blade weapon. Bonus to damage and attack equal the bonus of the armor itself. It also counts as a basic melee attack. While you can't use any attack, utility or feat power lacking the beast form keyword you still can use class features. So a cleric could use healing word while in beast form or a ranger could still set his hunter's quarry or a rogue could apply his sneak attack bonus. Feral armor is the only way i see around the problem, as it is no weapon (you would drop it because you only hold implements in wild shape) but an armor which bestows upon you a claw attack. But in terms of "optimizing" i just don't see a point in wild shape at all. Its just not that good. But well, if you would come to the point that you think that a Dragonborn Bard (mc druid, cleric, warlord) with a vampire heritage, taking the racial Paragon Path Scion of Arkhosia (you need that, because you get a natural fly speed at level 16 and so you can wild shape into a large bat and [U][B]fly[/B][/U] away) would be cool, wild shape makes sense. Just give him a hat of disguise, a magician's ring and some Hedge Wizard's Gloves to round the things up. Now let him create a magic item to summon a illusionary, ghostly church organ (think of something like [U][ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olfxxNsubwI&feature=related[/ame][/U]) and i think you could have some cool character which may not be great, but with his intimidate, diplomacy and bluff check could be a real crazy face character of the group. Not that i would ever have such an idea... never ever. i swear - i do. :D [/QUOTE]
