Rules Update: Druid Promotional Skill

What happens when offensive effects are upon a person before using Transmute Form. For example, target has +2 damage from a battle cry then uses transmute form. Or target has spirit of the dragon active then calls transmute form, do they still receive the +2 damage in each case or do they not get the damage and only the body from spirit of the dragon?

Any passive buffs can transfer into the animal form.

question about flight - if you land in a tree, does the 10 minute wait to fly again still in effect?

Yes, also to be clear, you cannot vary your height from 20ft unless you're either rising into the air or landing, in which case it must be vertical (like Levitate).

For the purpose of a "what do I see?" question what is the answer is it just "you see a bear/hawk/beaver" ? or is there a subtle differences between a person who turns into an animal and a real animal?

Also it mentions that certain spells can be cast to communicate with a transmuted druid. What are they?

The person looks like a normal animal - there is no perceptable difference.

Spells/abilities that allow a PC to talk with a normal animal work on a transmuted druid, such as Animal Empathy.  I see no reason why the Psionic ability Telepathy wouldn't work as well. 

Question about Flight it says that if the affect ends for any reason other than landing you fall. What if I am flying and I OOG trip and fall on my face have I IG fallen or just landed really badly?

I think if you actually trip OOG while walking at a slow walking pace, you can laugh and say "I'm all good" get up, and let others know that it was an OOG trip.

Thanks I was wondering because I have this uncanny "ability" to trip over perfectly flat surfaces, while standing still.
