Questions on Druids
In a campaign I am running the druid has taken the shapeshifter variant from PHBII and I was wondering, given that she is wearing studded leather, does she lose the armor bonus granted from it when she shifts? Also would she return to full HP when she shifts like the wild shape ability?

Re: Questions on Druids
1. Yes, you lose your armor bonus while in shapeshift form. It melds into your body and becomes nonfunctional.
2. No. Actually, the standard druid doesn't return to full health when they wild shape either; they only recover hit points as if they'd rested for a night. But no, they do not recover any hit points for shapeshifting, because they can shapeshift at will.Avatar by GryffonDurime. Thanks!

Re: Questions on Druids
That's what I was thinking, ideas on how she can improve her armor class then?

Re: Questions on Druids
Spells, I suppose. Barkskin and Halo of Sand from Sandstorm, if you have that. If other party members help out, Mage Armor, Cat's Grace, and Shield of Faith, too (Mage Armor is the best one, since it's low-level and lasts longest). But generally, the natural armor increase you get from the shapeshift form balances out the loss of armor.

"Wild" armor would still work, as well as the classic "change into a Dire/Legendary Ape and wear Large armor" approach. Beyond that.... yeah, spells are your best bet.

Re: Questions on Druids
Can a druid wear studded leather? I thought the studs were metal and thus not available to a druid (unless they are willing to take the penalties for wearing metal of course).

Re: Questions on Druids
The Druid's Handbook suggests Humans, Strongheart Halflings, Shifters, Buomman, Ghostwise Halflings, and several others. It also has everything else you need to play a well-optimized Druid.
