Has anyone managed to find a good character sheet for a Wild Shape and/or Summoning druid?
So far i've gotten by using DM Genie for my summoned critters, but keeping track of my Wild Shape options is another thing. I've tried making my own, but it looks like crap and i keep forgetting to add in my Base attack Bonus whenever I attack (though I am loving the Triceratops Shuffle, well, Cave Ankylosaurus shuffle.)
While I haven't found what you are specifically looking for, here's what my players have done -- index cards: - one for each summon-able creature, with all the vital stats, - one for each wild shape form, with all the vital stats (while, yes, this can potentially be a huge stack of cards, you really only need to have 5-6 on hand at any one time). my 2cp, for what it's worth. This is what I have done as well. It is a good, cheap way to keep track of any minions or forms you might have. |

Can you use a computer during your play? I am using an excel sheet with 5-6 favorite forms. I type my level, temporary strength bonuses (bull's strength?), temporary to-hit bonuses (haste, GMF, charging, flanking,...). Very simple, quite useful.

Is the Wild Reaper variant from Drag 311(?), just the absolute nuts?
I know it restricts your WS somewhat, but you get Turning, and therefore access to DMM. If a DM would allow it, is there any reason not to aside from the fact they are kinda creepy? WS with Travel devotion also seems pretty sick.

I found the Metal-Druid equally nuts, just not in terms of overpowered  |

Would a level 1 cleric/19 druid with Persistent divine metamagic be useful in any way?

Sure it would, but why lose Spellcasting for DMM when you can get it in so many other ways? |

Wild Reaper variant Druid, Planar Touchstone (Catalogs of Enlightenment (Sun Domain)), the Bone Talisman spell, numerous PrC dips. There's many more, but those are the one's I know of. See this post for more information. |

And of course, a Druid has 1 Turn Undead attempt a day already, as per UA. So losing a level of casting for 2+CHA more isn't always a good idea - better just take Extra Turning a couple of times.

Unearthed Arcana. It's a book, of course.

Unearthed Arcana, basically a book of optional house rules. There's one in some sidebar in there that gives Druids a domain, so you get Sun for a Greater Turning attempt per day. |

Hey guys, I was thinking of making a druid that specializes in big poucing cats... now would the Shock Troper feat line be any good, or its too much trouble for the increase in damage it gives? Would I be better off just taking Caster/Wildshape/Initiate feats, even if I want to go melee?
This is what I had in mind...
H-Companion Spellbound(probably)
1-Power Attack
3-Improved Bullrush
6-Natural Spell
9-Shock Troper

Shock-Trooper-ing as a big cat druid is great. Go nuts. If you need it, there's a tactical feat for Wildshaping Druid chargers in the CC. Could be useful.

Wild Shape Related Feats- Dragon Wild ShapeDrac: Another great feat, a must have at level 12. You get all supernatural and extraordinary abilities of the dragon you wild shape into. Note that dragons normally speak and can cast spells, so you probably don't need natural spell, but a consensus is needed here. More on fun dragon forms here.

Dragon wildshape optimization question:
If you (and your DM) buy the argument that spellcasting is ex, it follows that if you wildshape into a young adult Steel Dragon (16 hd), you gain the abilities of a 9th level sorcerer.
1. Am I understanding this correctly?
2. How might a druid best optimize their choices of up to 4th level wiz/sorcerer spells?
(Apologies if this is not the right topic for this question.)

(Apologies if this is not the right topic for this question.) I think you should make a new thread in the normal Min/Max forum. You could get all sorts of input. |
