Bear Form Druid

[Daemoneyes]

I know that when monks or other humanoid characters fight unarmed that it is bludgeon damage. But any class mixed with a monk level also switches to the unarmed style of the monk. I.E. rapid, chop socky roundhouse kick style. I don't know from experience but i'm guessing this doesn't apply to animal form druids. If it did then splashing one level of monk would solve the attack speed problem. (and look pretty hilarious)

The wiki says that the bear does bludgeon and slash damage. So even though conventional unarmed fighting is all bludgeon, i was thinking that animal form fighting might be exceptional as regards improved critical since it doesn't (i'm assuming) act like other classes regarding adopting the unarmed monk fighting style when splashing monk. Probably an easy way to see what kind of damage it is outputting would be to test it against zombies, skellis, and spiders, since they all have dr based on the type of the weapon. A bear should do normal damage to both zombies and skellies, but not spiders, and a wolf should do normal damage to spiders and skellis, but not zombies.

Another question: Is the flaming scimitar from the spell affected by IC/slash? Again on the wiki it says that it does fire damage rather than slashing damage. But it's a scimitar. I'm curious about how this works too.

you keep fighting as animal but monks increased base damage works
my winterwolf attacks with 2 d10 atm (with pl monk this would be 3 d10) ^^

i would guess its flame scimitar is affected but IC/slash
but in animal form its IC/bludg.
