Hi and happy Thanksgiving fellow witches and wizards. Please enjoy barbecuing your turduckens with burning hands responsibly.
Here's a thought...
I was looking at this thread (-such link-) and didn't see anything but a bunch of scared carebears qqing about how awful it would be if a highly-subjective rules question were interpreted in favor of the player.
Here's the basic TL;DR:
1. In Underdark pp. 25 and similar books, feats such as Extra Wild Shape specifically list, "Ability to use Wild Shape" as a prerequisite. This is a completely different prerequisite wording from "Wild Shape class feature" - it's like saying "wizards have the class feature ability to cast arcane spells" or "rogues have the evasion ability as a function of their class."
2. The feat "Shaping Focus" (-so connect-) specifically states "Wild Shape class feature" on a feat specifically designed for multiclassed druids who in all likelihood will not have it. This does not seem like intended behavior, since the whole point of multiclassing is to not get locked into a class for a predetermined number of levels just so you can take a feat to avoid being locked into a class for a predetermined number of levels.
3. Is this intended behavior? Please don't flame or make emotional arguments. This is about important things like my imaginary shapeshifting wizard and his quest for the holy grail, so we need real logic to answer this very serious question.
(-Wow-).
