Druid Shapechange Question

When a druid shapechages into a creature or elemental, do the following attacks count as unarmed attacks? I just got the level 9 polymorph spell, promptly polymorphed into a red dragon, but my hits were not that much better then smacking down with a scimitar....So is it going off my unarmed rating while polymorphed...should I beef up my unarmed strike feat?

Polymorph into that red dragon and check your character sheet. Then compare it to your normal character sheet. I'm not exactly sure how polymorph spells work, but once I used Tenser's Transformation on my fighter/rogue, and transformed he had a much lower armor class, some lower stats, etc... I'm not even sure if feats are implemented when you're polymorphed.

Tenser's Transformation is mainly for us by wizards and rogue types. It basically transforms you into a fighter of equal level. So say you are a 13th level wizard and cast it, then you wills have the Hits and BAB of a 13th level fighter.

@Datt: It does a lot more than that. It changes stats, AC, and even gives you a different weapon. It's pretty much a full-out polymorph. But I think my BAB remained the same. I'm pretty sure that the scroll was lower level than my fighter level, if that counts for anything. All in all, I think my regular form was more powerful, all considered, though that sword did do some hefty damage...
