Items and Polymorph

[BV210]

I know it says in the rules that when a creature polymoprhs, any items worn or carried are "absorbed" into the new form. I know, however, there are some items that stay in place when a character wildshapes. Are there items, or an item quality, that allows them to remain usable after a polymorph?

For armor there is the beastskin property (priced as a +2 bonus) that does exactly that.

Beastskin requires you to spend a wildshape use to keep it as armor, the Wild property, for a +3, does it automatically.

Oh, and 3.0 had some wildling clasps or something like that. they attached to certain clothing and made it retain magical properties while wildshaped.

Wild wasn't included in the MiC... I wonder if it was cut for space reasons or for balance. What was the original source?

The Wildling clasps are instead included in the MiC. There's also the Raiment of the Stormwalker a 4-items set, that can be used during wildshape.

The Wild magic armor ability was in the DMG, so it didn't need to be reprinted.

None of which is useful to the OP, who specifically asked about items that could be used during polymorph, not wild shape.

Indeed! Maybe it's because noone can think of any creature that has the ability to polymorph? After the latest errata there shouldn't be any creature that has it.
