So I am for the first time since Jaheira in Baldurs Gate 1 going to have a Druid in my party, so I have some questions.
Going to run her as a Circle of the Moon and in Bear form during fights.

So first question, what gear do you get a bear? Does it even matter what weapon they get or is it just claws?
If they get firebrand does something of the magical properties pass through, like the fire?

Same for armor, does it affect armor class in bear form or does other properties of armor and shields still work?
There are armor that make the user reel if they hit, and gear that gives bonus to healing (lunar mend).

And lastly abilities, Wisdom is the primary for Druids, but that is for their spell casting ability, should I not go for Con (for tank), Dex (for armor), Str (for mauling things) instead?
Thanks in advance for the help, anything I am missing?
