Why should I druid need to have the multi-attack feat in order to use a lions natural weapons? Why does a druid wild-shaped into a wolf not get the scent feat? Because the ignorant game designers do not understand how animal bodies work.Do you think a lions abilities to claw and bite are a form of learning or a form of body function? Do you think a wolf's ability to scent is a form of its nasal cavity or a form of a feat?If a Druid does not automatically know how to multi attack in a lion/tiger body why do they know how to improved grab in the body of an octopus?So I say a wolf gets the scent feat, irregardless of the polymorph spell's description, and I say that any feat an animal has that is due to its form of body, such as multi-attack, a Druid has available to them while they are in that form. To say that a Druid has to take additional feats to fully utilize a creatures body form is ludicrous and ignorant. No one will tell you that a Lion "learns" to use its claws and teeth in a fight, they will tell you they know how to use them instinctively. So to say a Druid needs to learn multi attack to use instinctive abilities of a creature who's form they assume is ignorant of real world animal behaviour and the prevelant beliefs of animal behaviour in the world of biologists who specialize in these things.A lions use of pounce, clawing, raking, etc... are an intuitive/instinctive use of their own bodies form and function, so to say a druid needs to "learn" a feat to gain use of such things is ludicrous.Next thing I will hear is that a Druid cannot walk in its new animal form until they take the four-legged walking feat.</blockquote>
