I like the DS classes, and have an urge to play one. However, my group plays Pathfinder, not 3.5. I know I can just bring the class from 3.5, but was wondering if there was already something in Pathfinder that has those mechanics.

What specifically I am looking for:
1) advances wild shape and sneak attack.
2) puts weapon enhancements on natural attacks in wild shape.

There's a druid archetype (nature fang) that gets sneak attack.

There's Weapon Shift (https://aonprd.com/FeatDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Weapon%20Shift), as well as its Improved (https://aonprd.com/FeatDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Improved%20Weapon%20Shif t) and Greater (https://aonprd.com/FeatDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Greater%20Weapon%20Shift ) versions. Though you might want to ask your DM if you can just take the Improved version if all you want is the weapon enhancements. (And maybe combine Improved and Greater into the same feat, because honestly them being two feats is just unnecessary.)

Nature Fang loses wild shape.

This doesn’t get me sneak attack

It's not an ideal solution, but if you're multiclassing, Shaping Focus (https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/shaping-focus/) will advance four levels of wildshape while you're in other classes.

Obviously not ideal, just wanted to float the option.

Druid + VMC Rogue + Accomplished Sneak Attacker?

There isn't a divine version of Arcane Trickster (I think), but even if there was, it wouldn't advance wild shape.

Didn't Rich Burlew do one? Might be somewhere around here.

I meant a Pathfinder one; but yes, you could convert Rich's (though the problem in my post would remain.)

Hmm... That could work...

Are you reducing the skill requirement to 5 to compensate for the class skill change between 3.5 and PF? If not, a Feral Champion Warpriest with Shaper's Boon and VMC Rogue gets everything you need at 7th level
