[QUOTE="everyman322, post: 6667536, member: 6798821"] Actually, you choose whether your equipment falls to the ground, melds with your beast form (in which case it gives no benefit) or is worn by your beast form (in which case it works normally). It does have to fit the beast form to be worn though (DM discretion). You can also wear barding in beast form, though again, it has to fit and you'd probably have to have a friend put it on you after you wildshape, probably outside combat due to time, barring some extremely questionable climb-in-and-wildshape shenanigans. If you got knocked out of beast form, and the first thing you did on your turn was re-wildshape, I think it would be up to your DM to decide if you could still be wearing your barding properly. Your DM may rule that beasts with "Natural Armor" (listed by their AC) count as wearing armor, as mine did when I tried to get Unarmored Defense in beast form on my Barbarian 1/Druid X :( Also, keep in mind Druids can't wear metal armor, which makes your max base AC 12.
