Item slots for a Tiger

[Prism]

Complete Adventurer has the utterly redundant "Beastskin" quality for armor. If you wildshape into an animal, you can spend an additional wildshape so your armor changes with you, so you'll look like an animal in barding and receive the benefits of the armor (and penalties, like armor check penalty). +2 bonus price.

How is this useful when you already have Wild armor is anyone's guess (you don't get the penalties, and all bonuses still accrue, and the armor isn't visible).

If you wanted armour with special abilities rather than or in addition to its enhancment bonus you maybe could justify it especially if the armour was light and had little or no movement penalties. Wild armour loses all special abilities when in wild shape. Beastskin armour is also cheaper.

+1 beastskin shadow silent moves darkleaf chain shirt is one way of going for a sneaky druid as opposed to the +1 wild darkleaf full plate for the more combat oriented

It was originally, but added to core in the revision.

As far as my group is concerned, core material is what is in the PHB, DMG, and MM that the DM has; maybe I need to buy him a new book.

Also, no Complete Adventurer
