When it comes to perception and senses, I don't think animals need a high Wisdom score - no, they should have a feature that just gives them a (skill equivalent) bonus to all checks involving their good senses. A wolf might have Beast Senses (Sound, Smell), an eagle Beast Senses (Sight). Then, when the Druid wild shapes, they shouldn't change any of their skills or mental scores, but they would gain Beast Senses.It's clear that you don't want a Druid to be able to cast spells in animal form, but many other features ought to remain, provided they are mental or mystical (spells obviously require a voice). The question of hit points is a tricky one - it depends how Con affects HP. Currently it's very important, so I think Druid HP ought to adjust according to their new Con score. I would much prefer if Con score had less of an impact though, in which case you wouldn't have to adjust very much at all, if anything.</blockquote>
