Since you're being turned into bears, I would simply give you the Animal-turned-Magical Beast* HD, change your race to Bear, give you the special attacks, natural attacks, natural armor, etc. from being a bear.

The hard part is the stats. If you're turning into a Bear, I'd change your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution to that of the bear, but that might mess with a player's stats. The DM could rule "Bears your yours, whichever is higher/lower" or a straight change.

*You'd be a Magical Beast due to your Intelligence score.

I've played a Bear Ranger/Bear Lord/Fist of the Forest/Beast Master, with Leadership and Wild Cohort. Karate Bear Platoon. It was quite fun, if a bit "hide behind the Bards".

Follow pollymorph rules

Max out Disguise and pretend to be a human

Rule it like lycanthrope stuck in animal form, except can speak, without DR and so on...

Limit there HD's to d8's or lower.... make there stats Str 27, Dex 13, Con 19
Give them Improved grab. Low-light vision, scent
Attack: Claw melee (1d8+4)
Full Attack: 2 claws melee (1d8+4) and bite melee (2d6)
Add there attack dice and damage to the above attacks and those are there new ones.... the bite has -6 attack bonus from the claws and -4 damage bonus.

Base Attack/Grapple: +class based /+class bassed +12
Space/Reach: 10 ft./5 ft.
Initiative: +1
Speed: 40 ft. (8 squares)
Armor Class: -1 for size and +5 natural

Thats the changes I would make

and they wouldn't be able to talk/cast spells that require speaking or making hand movements unless they have the wild shape casting merit the druids have.
