Please help me develop a wildshape related feat

Got it backwards, there, in 3.0 you got Ex abilities, whereas in 3.5 you only get the Ex Special Attacks, not the Ex Special Qualities.

I like Greatwyrms idea. A feat that gives you one non combat related EX ability per wildshape form. Picking Scent if you are a wolf or Blindsense if you are a dire bat won't break the game.

Call the feat Improved Wildshape, prereqs: ability to wildshape
This feat grants the character access to one Ex ability that is not a special attack per wildshape form assumed. If you change into a wolf you can gain its Scent, later if you assume the form of a dire bat you can have its blindsense.

Hey... I know you. I don't have to listen to you!

Yes, you do.

My answer is quite logical and balanced. A 6th lv Druid probably won't take the feat because Natural Spell is so much more useful. By 9th lv I don't think anyone will have a problem with your Dire Wolf shape granting you the Scent ability. With this feat you can actually turn into an assassin vine at 12th lv and be able to see with your blindsight rather than fumble around with no vision at all.

As an alternate to all this you could ask your DM to switch out Plant Wildshape at 12th lv for the ability to use all EX abilities your animal forms can use.
