Shifter-weapon damage and attacks

Daag

First Post
I was wondering what happened to weapon damage potential if you were to wild shape into a form larger than your own, and thus change the size of your equipment. For example, if you were to change from a human to a troll, and were wielding a club, would the damage increase to 1d8 as suggested in Sword and the Fist, because of the change in weapon size? or does the damage remain the same, because it's sort of like a virtual change in the weapon?

Also, when you change form into a creature that has 3 or more natural attacks, do you get all the attacks shown in the Monster Manual, modified by your BAB? For example, say an 8th level druid transformed into a lion. Would he then get 2 claws at +11 and then a bite at +6 (+9 if you have multiattack)?

Thanks ahead of time for any help anyone may give.

Yes, when you change size with polymorph or greater wildshape, your weapons change size to match your new form (if applicable) -- use the chart in the Monster Manual to determine new weapon damage.

Also, according to the new wildshape rules, you gain the attacks of the form you assume. So, in your example, you would gain 2 claw attacks at +11 and one bite at +6. I believe that a high BAB would NOT give you additional attacks, though -- if you use the natural attack forms, you're limited to that rate, for good or bad.
