Warforged Wildshape suggestions?

[IamTheTest]

So Ive created a Warforged Druid and the question of Wildshape has come up. As a living construct Im a bit confused on how I could change into a flesh and bone creature. Any suggestions out there? Thanks.

... That is so weird. Basically, I'd just ignore how it happens and just accept it.

Same way a Polymorph spell would change a warforged into a flesh and blood creature. It's magical (which is why you can't wildshape in an antimagic field).

Sure! Toaster, Dire Toaster, Refrigerator, Dire Refrigerator, Washing Machine, Dire Washing Machine...

OK, the joke got lamer the longer I typed. It was funny at the beginning, honest...

Pfft. Supernatural ability, guys. Jeez, your heads are full of metal or something.

And I think you can Wildshape in an anti-magic field. I know it doesn't surpress the Wildshape if you've already changed.

Edit: Oh, pfft. Nevermind.

Supernatural Abilities

These abilities cannot be disrupted in combat, as spells can, and they generally do not provoke attacks of opportunity. Supernatural abilities are not subject to spell resistance, counterspells, or to being dispelled by dispel magic, and do not function in areas where magic is suppressed or negated.

Think of the massively overwhelming changes involved on the warforged's part. Without even getting into some of the more exotic forms available, the changes for a human wildshaping into an animal are radical enough, depending on the shape one takes - massively improved senses, flight, etc. For a warforged, these might be a distant second to the sensations fleshies take for granted; breathing, a heartbeat, blood coursing through their veins... It is easy to imagine a warforged, struggling to find its own individual and racial identity, responding to the wildshape ability in any number of ways, perhaps preferring to spend most of its time wildshaped, instead of in its own form. The RP possibilities have me chomping at the bit to play a warforged druid!

Hm it'd be cool to play a Warforged Druid who spent time pondering the nature of his humanity/being alive.

Are you guys kidding? It's Warforge Transform!! Let's rolll out!

Hehe, looking at the pictures of warforged they have alot of wood in them as well as metal, so the wood grows and shapes itself using the metal components to create a facsimile of an animal shape. Treat the warforged transformed as an animal of that type. There ya go, mystical and still posible to imagine!

That's how a DM ruled it in a game in which I had a warforged druid. He didn't get up to the level to get wildshaping before the game dissolved, but we had discussed that. He would turn into an Animal, but keep the Living Construct subtype. We envisioned it as transformers-esque. I liked the idea.
