There's an escape artist clicky for getting out of these I think.

While now it doesn't drop off when changing from one-handed to two-handed and vice-versa (such as by equipping or unequipping a shield), the damage enhancement doesn't recalculate, allowing a two-handed power attack boost to be kept while swinging one-handed.

If power attack can't be convinced to recalculate on a weapon/shield change, simply having it deactivate would be preferable to swinging with two-handed power attack damage while one-handed.

I'm thinking here that Shifter shifting is a supernatural action, and perhaps shouldn't be affected by Wild Magic? Same as Wild Shape?

Shifter shifting is supernatural, but uses the Shifter Wildshape feat. If you're using the Polymorph/Shapechange SLAs, those are spell-like abilities, and it's possible that the Shift Shape feat is also spell-like rather than supernatural.

Bottom line: Restrict yourself to shifter shapes to avoid wild magic.

To use Shift Shape, one must first cast either Polymorph or Shapechange, then you click Shift Shape for actually shaping, for the duration of the initial spell casting.

Correct. Polymorph and Shapechange are correctly spell-like abilities and affected by wild magic. Shift Shape is supernatural, and so should not be affected. Is this the case?
