When close to humanoid in form your equipment does not meld with you while under polymorph effects. The spell elemental body 1-4 changes you into an psudo-elemental but does not say if your form is humanoid.
Elementals are shown as having a head, torso, arms, and usually legs. Does this mean they are are close enough to the humanoid shape that your gear is not melded into you?
The elemental type and elementals do not say they are humanoid. The pages do mention that humanoid forms are possible.
Proficient with natural weapons only, unless generally humanoid in form, in which case proficient with all simple weapons and any weapons mentioned in its entry.
If your gear is not melded into you, does it change size to fit your new size like enlarge/reduce person does?
Mostly I am asking if bow wielding druid is still able to use their bow when under the effects of all versions of the elemental body spell?
Best Answer
Yes, the equipment melds
From the Polymorph subschool:
That includes all weapons, so your druid would not be able to wield a bow.
