"When you cast a polymorph spell that changes you into a creature of the animal, dragon, elemental, magical beast, plant, or vermin type, all of your gear melds into your body. Items that provide constant bonuses and do not need to be activated continue to function while melded in this way (with the exception of armor bonuses, which cease to function). Items that require activation cannot be used while you maintain that form. While in such a form, you cannot cast any spells that require material components, and can only cast spells with somatic or verbal components if the form you choose has the capability to make such movements or speak, such as a dragon. Other polymorph spells might be subject to this restriction as well, if they change you into a form that is unlike your original form (subject to GM discretion). If your new form does not cause your equipment to meld into your form, the equipment resizes to match your new size."
Is it generally accepted that a +1 sword in your hand means that you have a +1 to your attack(s) when you Wild Shape? It is an item providing a constant bonus and does not need to be activated.
If that is true, does it modify all attacks in your Wild Shape form, or just one (if you have only one attack, then it adds to that. If you have multiple, it applies to the attack that you and your GM decided on)?
Now, let's say you have a +1 flaming sword. Once activated, the flaming quality is constant. Now you Wild Shape. Would your attack(s) gain both a +1 and flaming, or would you rule that, because the flaming is something that is activated, it falls under the "activated" rule and ceases functioning for as long as you are in a Wild Shape?
