04-22-08, 12:39 AM So, do you have to wild shape and then activate a wild feat?

Or can you simply activate your wild feat to improve your natural form?

Example: Roxor, a goliath with six levels in druid has the feat Stone Form. Can he spend a wild shape use to activate Stone Form and gain a slam attack, natural armor bonus, and improved fortitude save; and while in this rocky form, is he able to continue to use his armor, weapon(s), and other equipment?

Or does Roxor have to wild shape into a Dire Wolf on his first turn, and then spend another wild shape use on his second turn to improve his Dire Wolf form? I know this option is possible. My question is more if the first scenario is possible.

The latter.

04-22-08, 02:55 AM I don't know the specific feat in question, but nothing in the general Wild Feat rules (p. 113 Complete Adventurer, and I'm sure other places), suggests that you need to be Wildshaped to use a Wild feat. It seems that unless the specific feat in question specifically required you to be Wildshaped, then by default, it does not.

Honestly, I don't think I can argue with that. PHBII is a thing of beauty.

04-23-08, 01:15 PM I agree. a druid has no need of wild shape.

BUT, they are not the only ones with access to wild shape. UE gives us the wild shape ranger variant, replacing the crap weapon styles at second level, for Wild Shape at fifth. Would you recommend any of the wild feats for one of them?
