"At 6th level, the naga aspirant can use her wild shape ability (gained at 4th level, as normal) to assume the form of a true naga. This effect functions in a similar manner to a shapechange spell with the following exception. The druid's true naga form is unique, representing her personal evolution. When taking naga form, the nagaji's body transforms into that of a large serpent, though she keeps her own head. The naga aspirant loses her limbs and her size increases by one category, granting her a +4 size bonus to Strength and Constitution, a –2 penalty to Dexterity, and a +2 enhancement bonus to her natural armor bonus. She gains a +10 enhancement bonus to land speed and a bite attack that deals 1d6 points of damage. She can cast verbal spells in this form, but cannot cast spells with other components without metamagic or feats such as Natural Spell.
This ability otherwise works like and replaces wild shape."
My question is does the Druid gain the true naga form in addition to normal wild shape forms. Or is it limited to true naga form only.
I ask because the first sentence says,"...the naga aspirant can use her wild shape ability to assume the form..." Is that "can" that makes me think the meaning is to use normal wild shape to get a true naga form.
What do rules lawyers say?
You get wildshape up to 4th level (so medium or small animals), from 6th level onwards, the only thing you advance is the Naga Shape (so no large or huge animals, plants or elementals).
