@supervillan Thanks, that makes more sense. The net is the goal, so it changes due to the fact that I lose the small bonus, which makes sense.

Thank you for the replies.

What about starting from a Small size and moving up into a Dire Tiger. Would the character be expected to take two levels of penalty, or just the one for being Large?

Very confused as to the damage done by a Beast Shaped' caster in beast form.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/universal-monster-rules #TOC-Natural-Attacks, which is NOT official lists "Large" animals bite as 1d6, a member of my group insists that that is what it needs to be based on.

However, it seems to me that you morph into the creature, you get it's attacks (minus bonuses)

So for example, a natural Dire Tiger has (among other things)

STR 27
Bite 2d6+8/19-20
Special Attacks: pounce, rake
Feat: Improved Critical (bite)

However, beast shape II doesn't list the feat as something that can come along, so you drop it. You also don't get the 27 STR (or it's bonus damage), you get your own +4. You DO get to keep the pounce and rake.

This leaves

STR +4
Bite 2d6
Special Attacks: pounce, rake
