Altered Beast - Ruling?

[Gottmoerder]

Just wondering; what's the ruling with Altered Beast builds now that the times have turned a bit? I'm talking about Warlock / Druid hybrids that use Magical Beast Shape and Natural Spell to blast things while shapeshifted to a wolf, spider etc.

Since we don't have Guttural Invocations - feat in place, this is the only reasonable way to cast invocations (blasts mainly) without exploiting the Quick Cast bar (which is forbidden and should be for all classes).

I think it would make sense if one makes a bit deeper story;

A chaotic neutral Leira worshipping druid with a hint of Fey dealings in his heritage. As an example. Or a neutral evil Malarite who's been dealing with the evil fey?

Cheers in advance,
Gottmoerder

From the perspective of game mechanics... you can... In addition, Sorcerer/Duid in bear shape can cast Sorcerer spells.
