The feat energized wild shape states:Benefit: When you assume a wild shape form, choose one of the following energy types: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. You gain resistance 10 to that energy type. Also, one of your natural attacks deals an additional 1d6 points of damage of the chosen energy type. If you choose a wild shape form that already has energy resistance of the same type you choose, it increases by 5 instead. If you choose a wild shape form that deals damage of the same energy type you choose, increase the energy damage you deal by one die size (1d6 becomes 1d8, and so on).
Energized Wildshape
What does one of you natural attacks constitute as, For instant a dire tiger has a Bite, 2 claws, and 2 claws for rake. If I chose the claw would this effect all claw attacks, 1 Of the claws( so 1 of the 2 normal, and 1 claw of the 2 rake), or just 1 claw attack(one of the 2 normal and nothing else)?
The last one. "One of your natural attacks" means one natural weapon; furthermore, the claws used for rake are separate from those used for regular claw attacks, so enhancing one won't enhance the other.
So you could choose claws and get the 2 claw attacks energised, but the rake won't be, energise the rake but the claws won't be, or the bite and none of the claws would be.
That feat needs a look at but yep blahpers is right its one weapon choice. And to make it worse I'm not sure how to read that special line does taking it more than once let you have more than energy type going at once or am I supposed to be locked into a choice of energy when I take the feat?
Yeah, seems badly written. The feat description states that you choose an energy type when you wild shape, not when you take the feat. The "Special" text is inconsistent with that, though.
Agreed; terribly written (the special line vs main text, that is). I think the only way to resolve it (using RAW) is; if you have the feat more than once, when you take a wild shape you choose a number of energy types equal to the number of times you've taken it, and you get the benefit for each.
I highly suspect, however, that the RAI is that each time you take the feat you pick an energy type (not when you take a wild shape), so that it is fixed for each time you take the feat.
The former is certainly a lot more flexible, but the latter seems less book-keepy.
