Animal Soul feat + wild shape + anthropomorphic animal spell = hybrid animal form ?

[Lastoutkast]

Would this combo let you have a hybrid animal form ? Also how would permanent anthropomorphic animal work with this ?

[Matrix Dragon]

It would not work unfortunately, because multiple polymorph effects do not stack. Both wild shape and anthropomorphic animal are polymorph effects.

Hmm... I think it would work actually. Since Wild shape is only a limited time ability and the spell has a limited duration unless made permanent.

I dont see why not. you just turn into a hybrid form when you use wild shape. You would gain all the Bonuses and weaknesses of the animal but still be able to wield weapons and wear armor.

I dont know Matrix. I realize the Wild Shape says it works like Beast Shape, but as it is itself an (SU) as opposed to the (SP) I would think they stack. the stacking rule is determined if it is from the same source. thus having Anthropomorphic, plus Beast shape the spell they wouldnt stack.

Guess this would be best left up to your GM. I would allow it because it is cool flavour that requires both a feat and gold to be spent and can still be reversed by Dispel Magic.

EDIT: Nevermind just found where it states you can't

"You can only be affected by one polymorph spell at a time. If a new polymorph spell is cast on you (or you activate a polymorph effect, such as wild shape), you can decide whether or not to allow it to affect you, taking the place of the old spell. In addition, other spells that change your size have no effect on you while you are under the effects of a polymorph spell."

Ok :/

So...share skin spell, would I be able to possess my animal companion and then cast anthropomorphic animal ?

Before or after, but you would have a lot of trouble casting it after since AA has components of VSM.
