Druid/Monk: Monk Mechanics in Wildshape; Has this been changed?

In normal NWN2, all of the mechanics of the Monk and Rogue classes function normally in a druid's Wildshape forms, at least according to the NWN2 wiki. However, some people on the server have been telling my brother - who shares my NWN2 account with me - that his kobold druid may not be able to receive these bonuses in Wildshape. So, I'd just like to know: Are there any server-specific changes to Monk, Rogue, and Druid that would affect any of the following abilities being usable in wildshape?

Sneak Attack, Flurry of Blows, Monk AC Bonus

If there is anything on Sigil that would limit their use in Wildshape? If there is, please let me know.

Flurry of Blows and monk ac bonus worked fine last I touched them, never tried sneak attack. Agony Aunt implemented a fix however that got wildshape correctly working with shapeshifting (before you were still counted as armed so -8 to hit)

Alright. So, that bug has been dealt with on this server and the aforementioned mechanics should be operating normally? (Sneak attack does operate normally, note, but we were unsure if it would conflict in Wildshape if Flurry of Blows was also active.)

Either way, thank you very much for the information and the quick response.

Flurry of blows doesn't conflict with sneak attack in wildshape(or sneak attack ever), nor would it conflict with any other automatically applied sources of damage( Favored Enemy, death attack, etc.).

Flurry would conflict with any other toggle mode such as power attack/combat expertise/etc.

EDIT: Welcome, and just to be sure I'll play with it real quick in vordans.

EDIT2: Works fine

The -8 penalty was the Sacred Fist penalty, but a wildshaping sacred fist isn't awesome anyway as Sacred Flames is an activated feat (dunno, maybe you can activate then wildshape, but since duration isn't long, not so worth it).

As for the rest, yes, Monk stuff works great with wildshaping, and if you are a wildshaper, then at least 1 level of Monk is a must, because otherwise, Wildshape is a bit sucky :P
