11-19-06, 10:19 AM By the book, Wild doesn't help with a lycanthropic shapechange. It wouldn't be too hard to create an equivalent Lycanthropic property, though.

However, if you're changing into a hybrid form which is the same size as your humanoid form then you won't need it unless it's form-fitting like full plate, and even then you won't need it if the armor is magical (since magical armor refits itself to the wearer). Since the Polymorph errata, lycanthropic shapeshifting no longer automatically busts armor all to pieces; if you can still wear it in your new form then it stays, otherwise it melds.
