I have concerns about the Wild Shape class feature: if I turn into a primate (as Chimpanzee), can I use a Shield or a Weapon (assuming the druid is proficient with it). And what about both?
And if I turn into something bigger? Such as a Gorilla? Don't I have problems in movement?...
There are no rules about it...
Check this thread, about half way down the front page:

Although the question is a bit different, because elementals do have Human shape... While a primate actually don't... :/I'd like to have an official answer... ^^
I asked the same question in that thread about Dire Apes using weapons, and they said it was fine.
I'd thought I'd heard otherwise, but apparently as long as you have the proficiency you're good. Maybe I'm thinking 3.5.
The rules look only on the limbs of the form, to determine if it can wield a weapon or shield. It does not appear to matter that gorillas tend to walk on their knuckles.
