[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 2667485, member: 707"] Which would mean he could take any feat that required any animal trait, since he has access to any of them, when he's wildshaped into a specific creature that has it. The point was that by your ruling, for the purposes of selecting feats he [i]does[/i] have any and all animal traits. If all he needs is access to them to select feats that require them, and he has access to [i]all[/i] of them through wildshape, then he can select any feat based on animal traits. Where is the strawman? I'm pointing out that if you rule that wildshape allows a druid to have an assumed form's traits for the purposes of feat selection, then he conceivably has the traits of any form he can assume, should he need them to select a particular feat. If a feat requires one to have wings, the druid can take it, since he can become a bird. If a feat requires one to have 2 claw attacks, the druid can take it, since he can become a lion. If a feat requires one to be able to pounce, again, lion. Etc. etc. I don't consider wildshape to fulfill any and all prerequisites that require some kind of gross physical characteristic that some animals possess. The only prerequisite that wildshape fulfills is "Ability to wildshape," such as required by the [Wild] feats. [/QUOTE]
