[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 1430405, member: 2629"] Andy Collins, lead designer of the 3.5 PHB, on his boards and in the long 3.5 preview thread on the WotC boards, has gone on record as saying that when you use a polymorph effect, you gain the traits associated with the type for the creature form you adopt (except spell-like and supernatural abilities). [url]http://pub36.ezboard.com/fgameschat19968frm12.showMessage?topicID=214.topic[/url] Druids in animal form via wildshape gain the animal traits of low-light vision, proficiency with natural weapons, the need to eat, the need to sleep and the need to breathe. They also gain all extraordinary attacks of the specific animal form. Druids in plant form via wildshape gain low-light vision, immunity to mind-affecting effects, immunity to poison, immunity to sleep effects, immunity to paralysis, immunity to polymorph, immunity to stunning, immunity to critical hits/sneak attacks, proficiency with natural weapons, the ability to avoid sleeping, the need to eat, and the need to breathe. They also gain all the extraordinary attacks of the specific plant creature. To answer your questions: 1.) He loses elven low-light vision, but gains it back from the animal type. 2.) He keeps his own skill points, but applies the wolf's modifiers for physical skills. 3.) He does gain racial skill bonuses and bonus feats from the wolf. So, he gains track as well as the skill bonuses you mentioned. [/QUOTE]
