It gets kinda weird depending on how far into it you think. Like, the Hardy racial trait- is that because a Dwarf is born with a naturally strong disposition, or is it a product of their formative years? I always thought of it as the latter, but it could go either way.</p>I like the idea of cutting out all the cultural (or "nurture") abilities, to an extent.

It just says that you don't automatically know the language of your new form, i.e. if you become a Lizardfolk you don't automatically learn Draconic. Also, the spell description says your hit points, base saves, and BAB remain unchanged, so I would imagine that you don't automatically gain the racial HD. It says your feats, skill ranks and class abilities remain unchanged, with the exception of the level you lose, and that you use the chart to remove your previous physical ability score adjustment and then apply your new one. </p>
<p>As to what traits you keep/lose, I'm as lost as everyone else. It stands to reason that you would lose your old racial traits, but it doesn't say anywhere that you do... so it enters the dreaded realm of houserule. In my opinion, you would lose your previous races (ex) and (su), racial skill modifiers due to physiology (camoflage and tails, for example) and unlabelled abilities, but keep (sp) because the ability to cast spell-like abilities seems to be a mental ability and not a physical one. You would then gain all the new races (ex), (su), unlabelled and racail skill modifiers due to physiology. YMMV.</p>
<p>::edit:: Thinking about it in relation to the most recent problem at hand, my personal preference would be that if the dice roll a level adjusted race, just ignore the adjustment as much as you can. If you really feel it will become unbalancing, taking into account that he's going to be a level down anyway, somewhere in the d20srd there are rules for reducing level adjustment over the course of a few levels that would really work out here (the extra XP he'd need to go up a level can be written off to him adjusting to his new form). Since, the way I'm reading it, you don't get the racial HD the worst case unbalancing senario is that you roll a troglodyte (which is LA+2) and that happens only on a 99, and the smelly factor would mitigate it a little. If there are complaints on not getting the racial HD and the bonuses from them, offer the option to draw up a progression (like the Savage Species progressions) to take them one at a time.</p>i was always under the impression that languages known didn't change at all.

<p>I did ask about using natural weapons with my flurry because I wasn't aware of the official position my DM had, and I was told it would be ok if I gave up my 6th level bonus feat, the logic being that at 6th level our primary fighter is still making more attacks than I am (with the two weapon fighting tree, and assuming he won't have any natural attacks either). Also, in one of the Dragons there was a Beast Strike feat that lets you add your claw or slam to your unarmed strike and grapple damage, so I went ahead and got the OK on that. He did tell me that there is no way I can take two weapon fighting though.</p>

<p>1- how would it interact with classes/feats that modify wildshape? It's an unlimited use ability anyway, so extra uses don't help, and the size/hd limitation is also moot. I guess a prestige class could stack for progression of the ability. The notable class in my head right now is Daggerspell Shaper, and the kinds of feats I'm thinking of are the ones where you can spend a wildshape use for an ability (notably Swim like a Fish from CAdv which would satisfy my second concern) and feats that modify what you wildshape into (notably Dragon Wild Shape)</p>
<p>2- lack of a waterbreathing swimming form, or a form with a good climb speed. I don't see the lack of burrow speed acess as a problem, and I won't miss the climb speed that much, but the aquatic/swimming thing will be a bad drawback (part of the campain is near/on water)</p>
<p>3- the inablitiy to take a form smaller than I am. Probably won't matter very often, but from time to time I would appreciate the difficulty in being hit while running away.</p>
