Silver Crusade

It has always been somewhat unclear to me how Wild Shape interacts with various spells and class abilities. The new multiclassing rules greatly extend the number of interactions that are unclear to me. Both in terms of what the rules say but, more importantly, in what they are intended to say

Animal Form (using it as an example, the others are similar) has the phrase "These special statistics can be adjusted only by penalties,
circumstance bonuses, and conditional bonuses"

Its not clear what "special statistics" refers to.

For example, is movement speed included? Can a wild shaped druid get an accelarated bonus (from spell or class feat such as fast movement)?

Do claws count as "wielding two melee weapons" (for twin takedown)?

Can a wild shaped creature power attack (does adding extra damage dice count as adjusting the special statistics?)

I think that everything I describe above SHOULD work, at least I think it is probably RAI. Including hasting a wild shaped druid or barbarian. But it really isn't clear to me that is either the intent or what the wording says
