I'm working on a build that is a druid 8//monk 3/shadowdancer 1 (homebrewed partial gestalt rules, otherwise works like normal gestalt in UA). Other than the partial gestalt thing, the rest is pretty standard PF.

I noticed that you can add special abilities to the Amulet of Mighty Fists in PF, and also noticed the Guided weapon property... So I can use my Wisdom to hit and damage while Wildshaped. I think this will change which options are best for Wild Shape rather dramatically. I might in fact be better off just going with a medium air elemental or something (perfect flight, darkvision, Whirlwind, +4 Dex, +2 NA boosted to +5 via trait).

Heck... maybe I should just use a melee weapon instead of putting this on a necklace...

Hmm... a housecat might be pretty hilarious. +4 Dex, Tiny size, +1 NA, 3 natural attacks.

If I could find a diminutive bird with 3 natural attacks it would be pretty awesome, too. :D There don't seem to be many animals of tiny or smaller size statted out.

I'd rather not rely on dinosaurs, even though they are probably the best options, as I don't know if they'll exist in the game at all.

I assume you've looked at the differences between pathfinder wildshape and 3.5?

Oh yes. They nerfed the crap out of it (and rightly so). The thing that's really killing me is the lack of decent forms at sizes huge and diminutive (excluding dinosaurs). All I want is a decent set of 3+ natural attacks, really... but without going to dinosaurs or 3rd party, it seems like neither of those size categories have a single form with that.

The dex penalty for large and huge sizes is really going to screw me over also, as I took Combat Reflexes (and Combat Patrol), both of which I'll lose access to when large or huge. I guess I could redo his stats, since with the Guided weapon I don't really need Str at all...
