Hey guys a very simple question regarding D&D 3.5.
Druids have wild shape and the +3 Wild bonus on armors that allow them to still count their armor bonus to AC while wildshaped.
It's a pretty awesome way and it will easily help you get your AC rise to around 40 or even higher.
Now the question is:
Does the Wild bonus on armor allow you to add the armor bonus to AC when you use Shapechange lvl 9 Druid spell which is based on Polymorph?
"Wild:
The wearer of a suit of armor or a shield with this ability
preserves his armor bonus (and any enhancement bonus) while in
a wild shape. Armor and shields with this ability usually appear to
be made covered in leaf patterns. While the wearer is in a wild
shape, the armor cannot be seen.
Moderate transmutation; CL 9th; Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, baleful polymorph; Price +3 bonus."
I am not at all sure about this one. The description from wild only mentions wild shape and nothing else. However both wild shape and Shapechange are based on the same rules derived from polymorph and alter self. So the abilities are quite alike.
Right now, I personally think that the wild bonus only works with wildshape and not with spells like polymorph or Shapechange. This distinction would make sense. But I am not 100% sure, Does anyone have any thoughts on the subject?
