Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kalendraf" data-source="post: 1915799" data-attributes="member: 3433">By the RAW, that's not correct, and here's why.  From the SRD:Thus, as per that rule, a wildshaped druid has all the characteristics of a mouse right down to the vocal abilities and volume.  Now the next question is, does the Natural Spell feat affect this?  From the SRD:In other words, the feat doesn't affect the sounds.  It merely allows those sounds to be used instead of the normal sounds a druid would make.  Hence, the sounds that a wildshaped druid makes can be no different, and no louder than the sounds that a normal animal is able to make regardless of whether they are spellcasting or not.As a result, a wildshaped druid casting a spell is no easier to hear than any other creature of the form he has taken.  If that form is small and has a very quiet voice, the wildshaped druid will be equally quiet when using that voice.Hence, your proposal that a druid in rodent form is "just as easy to hear as a human caster" is proven false by the RAW.Please don't accuse me of improving the abilities that Natural Spell provides.  I'm merely following the RAW here.  The feat is extremely powerful, and it has some "hidden" features which really only become apparent after a thorough inspection like this.  I'm not giving the feat extra abilities - they are already there!</blockquote>
