Wild Shape adjustments

[Korlen]

Haven't had a chance to peruse this yet, but if this works with vampire PCs I'll be quite happy. At least until sunrise.

Did a few of them but will keep at it, just going down the list of animals from the srd. So Natural Armor isn't based on the animal just a flat bonus then, That mean they keep there current armor bonus from armor they had on?

Never gotten into wild shape in pathfinder

Correct its based on the Spell Itself and Animal Size just like the ability score modifiers. Take a look at the spell HERE.

Armor/Shields is absorbed into the form and don't function unless they have the "Wild" armor special ability. From my testing this is all working currently including taking into account the "Wild" armor ability.

But if you have Bracers of Armor my understanding is this still works and wold apply a armor AC bonus.

have you implemented any of the wild shape feats to work with this?

The only one that has "HL" affects I noticed was "Planar Wild Shape". In such a case you would have to apply the actual Template yourself or use other adjustments.

Maybe in the future I could look at it but more concerned with the getting the base abilities to work. I still have to do Elemental Shape and Plant Shape still.

Beast soul
Greater Beast soul
Mighty form
Powerful shape
Stout form



and vermin shape (but assume this is just basically entering in vermin to the animal shape)

I am working down the animal list from A to Z so if someone else is helping to get the animals all inputted perhaps from Z to A lol

[stargazer_dragon]

do you get to use special attacks such as

Sudden Charge (Ex)

When making a charge attack, an axe beak makes a single bite attack. If successful, it may also attempt to trip its opponent as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the axe beak cannot be tripped in return.

Only one of these is a Paizo feat.

This is another of the adjustments I would like to get too. It should be pretty easy once the base shape is all working. Then correct it would be entering "Vermin" that the "Vermin Shape" spell could select from.

LOL all of this goes back to a) I mentioned its just out of beta and 2) Time!

The main issue with these "feats" is that really the "Feat" should look to see if the spell adjustment is on and then its script can fire. I just don't want to actually do a "Replace Thing ID" on existing feats as that forces people to have to "have" these feats. The 3PP feats are even worse as I have no idea what the 'Unique ID' will be or if it would stay the same. So if the feat is not in a community package it would be even harder to work with... Not including the fun of saying my adjustment addon requires 3 other community packages... LOL oh the fun!!!!!!!!!

Sudden Charge is not a "Special Ability" listed by Beast Shape so no. This to me is the improvement over 3.5 as you ONLY get listed abilities. This means that every new monster Paizo puts out does not make Beast Shape or Druids "better".
