I'm sorry for my horrible english I hope someone can help my group in finding some answers to our noobish questions:

1 - if I play a Druid/Monk, do the Flurry of Blows apply when attacking using a Druid's Wild Shape? i.e. a bear would normally strike thrice, with 2 claws and 1 bite. Since it's an unarmed attack, would it benefit from the increased number of attacks of a Monk?

2 - is there a way to make our worn items merge when using a Druid's Wild Shape? I mean, we know the answer is NO, but, following the footsteps of the Daggerspell Shaper's features, Dagger Claws and Enhanced Wild Shape, is there a way to obtain the same bonuses without using that prestige class?

3 - would a Druid/Monk benefit from the monk's improved AC (both the AC bonus and the wisdom bonus) when using the druid's Wild Shape?

4 - do the special physical attacks/defenses of the Monk (Fast Movement, Slow Fall, Stunning Fist, Deflect Arrows, Evasion, Ki Strike, Quivering Palm, etc.) work when using a Druid's Wild Shape?

5 - when a Druid uses his Wild Shape feature, his physical attributes shift according to his new shape. Do the Warshaper's Morphic Body +4 STR and +4 CON bonuses apply after the transformation?

I'm pretty sure most of the previous questions will sound ridiculous to you, but there's a fiery debate in our playing group and we'll appreciate any help you can give us.

Thanks a lot for your patience!

1. To my knowledge(don't have any referrence ATM so I might be wrong) this was answered by Wotc that you must choose: either natural attacks or flurry of blows.

2. You're wrong here, per Wild Shape description all your items merge and cease to function. You can use wilding clasps from Magic Item compendiom to make them stay however.

3. yes

4. As per alternate Form description (o which wildshape is based after the last Errata), you do not lose any Extraordinary Abilities you gain from class levels

5. Can't answer this one, I'm at work and don't have access to the Warshaper atm.

Hope this helps

About #5 Yes it stacks. I'm fairly sure it is exactly what WotC envisioned when they made the ability.

Everything else you got answered by the previous post is correct.
