Wildarmour +dex penalities.

[Stygofthedump]

I now have an 11th lv druid, 3.5 core only, and have equipped dragon (full) plate wild armour +1 and wooden shield +2. The characters dex is 8.

1 when shape shifted into higher dex form does the max dex bonus of +1 for full platestill apply?
2 is the armour bonus still +9?
3 is there such a thing as a wild shield?

4 when wildshaping when do you apply healing, changing to animal, to human or both?

thanks

Here's the text of wild armor:


Wild

The wearer of a suit of armor or a shield with this ability preserves his armor bonus (and any enhancement bonus) while in a wild shape. Armor and shields with this ability usually appear to be made covered in leaf patterns. While the wearer is in a wild shape, the armor cannot be seen.

Moderate transmutation; CL 9th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, baleful polymorph; Price +3 bonus.

So right away that answers 2 and 3.

For 1, most people interpret "The wearer of a suit of armor or a shield with this ability preserves his armor bonus" to mean you preserve only your armor bonus, and the armor's other stats (max Dex bonus, other special abilities, etc.) are lost.

For the healing, that happens when you use Wild Shape, so when you turn into an animal.
