Druids Wildshaping Item Loss?

[Dark Dragon]

IIRC, the bonus spells are lost. There was a discussion about that question IMG and a player found a rule in the PHB (don't ask me where, I don't have the books at work...).

If the druid changes back, he won't get the bonus spells unless 8 hours have passed after loss of these spells and a prayer at the right time (normally in the morning, but that depends on the druid's patron deity).

So the druid should choose spells with a long duration as bonus spells (e.g. GMF, Endure Elements, Blind Sight, Delay poison for his wizard buddy, Spikes, Energy Immunity,...) and cast them before using his first WS for that day.

Er, how do you choose which spells are bonus spells and which spells are not? I would think that if you get 4 because of bonus, you cast 3 and then wildshape, that fourth one is gone.

That is, the bonus spells are the last ones to be cast.

 

[Speaks With Stone]

I don't think there is a rule about the bonus spell being first or last. I think its reasonable to treat it either way. Therefore, I would default to allowing you to cast the bonus spell first as it allows for the most fun and least amount of frustration on the player's part.
