Alder is a 50 year old Human Cleric of the Nature domain. He's been a devout follower of Mielikki for most of his life. The forest he was living in was ravaged by machines of industry and he's had to find a new home. With him he carries the seed of an ancient tree type, with great meaning to his faith. He's good natured and protective by nature, but can't allow himself not to be selfish as long as he carries the seed. This will carry into his social life, where he will be forced to do stuff he dislikes because of this burden. 

 

Alder is at the moment only level 1. When next level is achieved, he is going to dip into Druid and mainly follow that path. I have a couple of questions about rulings on different things:

 

1: When I dip into Druid, I only get skill bonuses if they are listed in the Multiclass table (which says I get zero from Druid) and my caster level follows the Multiclass Caster table. However, the Multiclass Caster table does not say anything about Cantrips known. Can I assume that it means I get no additional Cantrips from dipping into Druid? Or do I get the 2 Cantrips listed in the Druid class section?

 

2: When using the Wild Shape class feature of the Druid, it says that you cannot cast spells while in this form. However, what if you Wild Shape into a monster who can cast spells naturally? Am I able to cast those spells?

 

3: When using Wild Shape, it says I can choose whether to let my items fall off, become a part of me or make the new shape wear it. So that means that if I am wearing Heavy Armor when Wild Shaping, I can get the new shape to also wear it and gain the AC from it? 

 

Any help would be appreciated.
