Sorry if this has been asked before...

I a shapeshift druid (PHBII) in normal form casts call lightning, then say shapeshifts into his aerial form, can he continue to call down lightning bolts as a standard action, as all that is required is concentration, not casting a spell?

Wouldn't shapeshifting break concentration?
Take the natural spell feat so you can cast spells while wildshaped.:)

He can't, which is good. The PHB2 varient doesn't allow spellcasting in any form while shifted. It is infinite, though.

Call Lightning: I'd say you can, but not on the round you shifted, even if you did that as a free action somehow.

Wouldn't shapeshifting break concentration?Probably, but call lightning doesn't require you to maintain concentration, so that's irrelevant.

Dolgar: yes, it would work.

Sorry, spell requires a standard action to concentrate on the spell to call a lightning bolt, not to maintain the spell.
