Natural Attack Question

[Xagan]

Hey all, Working on my 2nd D&D character and decided to roll up a druid that's focused on being in wild shape. It's proven to be complicated so far but i think I'm starting to understand how everything works, But this is what threw me for a loop "Melee 2 claws +10" I'm looking into Dire Tiger and i seen that before the actual (1d8+6 plus grab). Could someone explain to me what it means and if it actually effects any of my rolls?

Melee: The creature’s melee attacks are listed here, with its attack roll modifier listed after the attack’s name followed by the damage in parentheses.

When you perform a full attack you may make two claw attacks at +10 each.

Keep in mind the Bestiary stats are for the monsters in the Bestiary. Your stats when you Wildshape will most likely be different.

Do i get to Stack that +10 to attack on my Bab and Str Mod?

No you do not.

When you wild shape, you do not take the stats of the creature you wild shape into. You use your BAB and your STR modified by your new form.

Since a Dire Tiger is a Large Animal, you gain a +4 size bonus to your Strength, a -2 penalty to your Dexterity, and a +4 natural armor bonus.

You gain the attacks of the Form, but they are modified by your STR.

Assuming you are a Medium character in your regular form, you would have +1 to hit in Dire Tiger form as you would have a -1 penalty from being large, and a +2 bonus from your improved STR. However, that is not including any enhancement bonus you may have if you have a magic weapon.

Don't pay attention to the Dire Tiger's stats. Wildshape gives you specific adjustments to your own stats.

Alrighty, Thanks all much appreciated!

If you are having trouble with some of this I made an excel spreadsheet (Thread link) to automate many of the calculations.
