    Default Reducing The Attack Penalty in a Grapple (3.5)

    I'm looking for something that will help my wildshaped druid reduce the -4 penalty to natural attacks inside a grapple.

    All I could find was the Wolverine Stance from Tome of Battle. This is not feasible for my character.

    Thanks in advance.

    There's a feat, Scorpion's Grasp, in Sandstorm that, from what I remember at least lets you make attacks with the natural weapon you started the grapple with at no penalty. It might eliminate the penalty from all natural attacks, but I'm not sure; AFB

    EDIT: it also gives you something similar to improved grab, I think

    Check with your DM for a ruling on this, but a Monk's Belt could do it.

    As playswithfire suggests, your best bet is Scorpion's Grasp. It basically gives you the Improved Grab ability. Or you could just Wildshape into something with the Improved Grab ability, like a brown bear. Or you could just Wildshape into anything big, since size and Str give you a Grapple bonus.
