Wild armor for non-druid shaping

[Thefurmonger]

I put this in advice as I am fairly sure the RAW is "No"

however I may be wrong.

Flame Oracles (and other types too) get something called

Form of Flame

Spoiler:

Form of Flame
(Su): As a standard action, you can assume the form of a Small fire elemental, as elemental body I. At 9th level, you can assume the form of a Medium fire elemental, as elemental body II. At 11th level, you can assume the form of a Large fire elemental, as elemental body III. At 13th level, you can assume the form of a Huge fire elemental, as elemental body IV. You can use this ability once per day, but the duration is 1 hour/level. You must be at least 7th level to select this revelation.

This is not wildshape, only due to not being called wildshape.

However as far as i can tell in all other ways it is wildshape.

Is there a way to use wild armor while useing this?

If not, would you allow it?

By RAW, no. However, it shouldn't be a problem getting it cleared if your DM is pretty reasonable.

[Mergy]

There is always the option of taking off the armour prior to using the ability and then putting it on again after. You're still proficient with it and once you have it on, your immunity to fire extends to it, so it will only be slightly singed.

[Thefurmonger]

Thats true Mergy and that saves me a +3 enchant.

The only issue is that it feels, well, Lame.

I'll talk to me GM, as you say there is an easy way to handle it, I just hope he does not want me to do that.

Thanks agian guys.

However unless you turn into a medium elemental you need armor specifically made for the new size. Also I'm not sure if a fire elemental really is humanoid shaped enough to fit into a human armor, so you might have to pay the markup for strange form too.

At least you have hands and can put it on yourself unlike an animal druid :)

As a GM I would allow "wild" armor to work with your shapeshifting too.

Well Fire elementals are shaped a lot like normal creatures so as long as its the same size it should work, but again, it's kinda lame.

I'll talk to my Gm tonight and see what he says.

It's for a gnome so the armor would only fit for a level or 2 anyway.

I might just ask the party Sorc to cast mage armor on me.

I would do that. Wild armor is super expensive.

Wild armer gets really cool later on when you have lots of money. Also as a druid it only gets interesting once you get your hand on some ironwood or dragonhide breastplate or so, because it's just wasted on hide armor.

Till then having someone to cast Mage Armor on you is just so much easier and way cheaper.
Maybe buy a couple of Mage Armor potions too, in case the mage can't do it for some reason (remember to drink before shapechanging or the potion melds with your body and you can't use it).
