Druid Wildshape questions...

[smetzger]

So, I am thinking of using the Pathfinder Wildshape in my 3.5 game and have some questions...

1) So, you keep all your ability scores?

2) What happens to your equipment? Does it meld and is it then still 'active'?

3) Do you gain the natural attacks of said creature? It seems like you would, but it doesn't say that you do.

4) Anything else I am missing?

Thanks,
Scott

1.You get a bonus or your physical abilities scores depending on your level. Refer to the beast shape spells per the wildshape instructions
2.It melds, and magical equipment with an always on bonus like cloaks of resistance and rings of protection stay active.
3.Yes you do.

You keep all your mental stats, Your physical stats are altered based what size creature you take

You gain abilities based on the size and animal you take (you do not get a fly speed if you take the form of something that doesn't fly)

Your equipment melds, weapons, armor and shields go inactive while wild shaped, armor and shield can get a special property (Wild), other equipment (like wondrous items) is still active. Wands, staffs and other spell completion items can not be used (you can not speak and do not have hands to wield such items)

You gain any and all natural attacks for the form you change into (yes you get a bite and 8 tentacle attacks as a giant octopus (PF giant octopus, don't have the MM here))
