Druids and natural attack feats.

[Xuttah]

Does a druid need to have a natural attack(s) to qualify for feasts like improved natural attack, weapon focus (bite), and multiattack, or is using then in their wild shape form enough?

Ask your GM.

Either way, the feat would be inactive while not wild shaped.

I allow it, particularly weapon focus and multi attack, but like James said, ask your GM. Its sort of a murky area of the rules.

If you want to be super technical, then you have to have the natural attack in your base form.

One way to do this for sure is to take aspect of the beast to get claws and then take feats for claws, or to use a race that has natural attacks.

Personally, though, I would allow a player to take the feats.

Yes. All druids are proficient with all natural attacks in any form they assume.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency:

Druids are proficient with the following weapons: club, dagger, dart, quarterstaff, scimitar, scythe, sickle, shortspear, sling, and spear. They are also proficient with all natural attacks (claw, bite, and so forth) of any form they assume with wild shape (see below).

Weapon Focus (Combat):

Prerequisites: Proficiency with selected weapon, base attack bonus +1.

Lord Malkov, you are wrong. You only need proficiency in the weapon to gain weapon focus. There is nothing in the rules to stop Druids from taking weapon focus (Natural Attack).

Plus, consider this: In order to put ranks into the fly skill, you must have daily access to flight. Let's say we have a wizard that just got 3rd level spells (and not a high enough INT to get a bonus), and only fly once per day. That means 5 minutes of flight, but it counts for the spell.

At that same level, you can be a leopard for 5 hours per day. While you can argue the difference between a feat and a skill, but that seems like more a right to training than the wizard's.
