Shapeshifted Druids and Spell-Like Abilities - Quick!

[Savage Wombat]

If a druid has a spell-like ability, gained as (for example) part of a prestige class - can they use that ability while Wild Shaped? What about supernatural abilities?

My understanding is that polymorphed characters usually lose SU and SP abilities - but if they're part of a class that grants the ability, I wonder if that rule should apply.

"You retain all supernatural and spell-like special attacks and qualities of your normal form, except for those requiring a body part that the new form does not have (such as a mouth for a breath weapon or eyes for a gaze attack)."

Thanks!

I certainly can't find rules that fast.

The more you do it, the more you have a better feel for where a rule is likely to be found

'sjust practice, really

I wonder if this has anything to do with me?

(playing a druid in SavageWombat's game... though I don't have any spell-like abilities that I recall. Druid11/Nature's Warrior3)

HA HA! CRAP! I figured out what's going on. That's bad for me.

So how do you like Nature's Warrior as a PrC? I have a 14th level Druid currently, and I'm thinking of going with WarShaper, but Nature's Warrior was my next choice.

I'm finding this a tough choice as well (have a 11th level druid).
As the only primary spellcaster in the party, don't want to lose caster level. Nature's Warrior doesn't suffer as badly, but costs a useless feat (Track, which I already get for free in wolf form).
Warshaper would also delay getting advanced wildshape forms (Huge, elemental) because it doesn't have Wilding.
But those first 2-3 levels of Warshaper look so appealing... and the Armor of the Crocodile and Wild Growth abilities look good too.

Hmmm... if I hadn't sunk 2 feats into summoning - maybe taken Improved Grapple instead - then wildshaping PrCs might be a better choice.
