Plant Domain and Wild Shape


Classes: Cleric, Druid, and Paladin


Here's a question: if a druid takes the Plant domain as his nature's bond, does the bonus from Fist of Thorns add to his attacks in wildshape?

I would probably have to rule that Wooden Fist damage bonus to unarmed strikes only applies when you are in your natural form, but Bramble Armor could be activated and used while Wild Shaped.


It wouldn't stack with "Natural Attacks", i.e. bite, claw, etc,
but if you Wildshape into an Ape or something that your DM lets you do Unarmed Attacks with (punching)
you could take advantage of the STR bonuses, if you want... I think.


That was my original instinct. As the DM for the PC in question, I think my ruling will be wildshape: no for wooden fist, yes for bramble armor.

Apes have fists, so works for me!
