Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lonely Tylenol" data-source="post: 2153839" data-attributes="member: 18549">According to the Rules of the Game column over at Wizards.com, pretty much anything you could conceivably fit on something will alter its form.  So for a tiger, Klaus is pretty much bang-on, aside from the gloves/boots, which shouldn't work.  That's assuming you don't wear two items in the same slot.All worn items except armour resize to fit the wearer.  Weapons and armour resize to fit the user only if the user is capable of wearing armour or wielding a weapon of that type.  So a human wearing a breastplate and carrying a longsword, when polymorphed into a troll would be wearing a Large breastplate and carrying a Large longsword.  Note that this is not spelled out in the description of the spell, but the Rules of the Game column clarifies this point.If you don't like the RotG column, then there's a bunch of stuff that's left to discretion and not directly spelled out in the rules.  If you follow the column's indications, then it's clear that for everything except armour and weapons, if you can get it on an appropriate body part, it'll size itself to fit.  So if a druid wild shapes into an ape, he can wear all his items and use his armour and weapons because his new form is humanoid in shape, despite being an Animal.  If he wild shapes into a tiger, he keeps almost everything, but loses the armour and weapons because he can't hold the weapons and the armour is built for a humanoid creature.And here's the relevent text:Whether you regard this text as "official" or not is up to you, really, but the intention of the column is that it's not supposed to be writing any new rules, only spelling out what's already there.  Whether they succeed in this venture is up to debate.[edit]It's worth noting that magic armour doesn't usually resize to fit the wearer.  It only resizes when it already fits the wearer, and the wearer changes form while wearing the armour.  But non-magical armour also resizes in that case.</blockquote>
