Nwm, somewhat – but not too far – ahead of the SH as of most recent Feb 2012 update and contemporaneous with Eadric’s initial enkindlement. Nwm remains human, and has shunned divinity for himself; it’s a kind of existential statement on his part – in all senses, Nwm retains his humanity and becomes the ultimate man as opposed to some cocktail of templates and outsider or fey HD. He does get the paragon template to make up for it. Inherent bonuses, of course. I gave up tracking wild shape uses/day, as past a certain large number it just doesn’t matter; I just assume that he can do it whenever he wants. Total spellcasting spontaneity is also available to Nwm; the emphasis on the Moment is brought to full realization.
Some retraining is always assumed; most of the eligible exalted bonus feats are dropped (as the selection is useless to Nwm). Saving throw bonus feats (the Iron Will etc. family) are instead substituted. The good thing about Nwm is that his gear is never a problem.
Nwm’s CR at this point is pegged nominally at 57, although I’m not sure how accurate that actually is.

Spells
Nwm casts spells as a 40th level Druid (6/11/10/10/10/10/9/9/9/9/4/4/4; save DC 44+ spell level, CL 40th). Nwm may also cast four epic spells per day, provided that their adjusted DC is 0 or less: these spells are devised and cast spontaneously, with no development cost. Nwm can use XP or up to 120d6 backlash to mitigate against epic spells which he casts: he ignores the first 40d6 points of backlash damage in this case. Nwm need not prepare nonepic spells; he may spontaneously cast any spell on the Druid class list. Save DCs are Wisdom-based and include a +13 paragon bonus.
Buoyant Reservoir (Ex): Nwm enjoys a weekly 10,000xp cushion to his reservoir.
Exalted Strike (Su): Nwm gains a +8 enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls whilst using any weapon. His staff is considered adamantine, cold iron, epic, good-aligned and silver for the purpose of overcoming a creature’s damage reduction. Nwm can strike incorporeal creatures as though his weapon possessed the ghost strike special ability.
Foresight (Su): Nwm is under a permanent foresight effect (as the spell, CL 40). He is never surprised or flat-footed.
Freedom of Movement (Ex): Nwm acts as if constantly under the effects of a freedom of movement spell.
Intuitive Attack (Ex): Nwm uses his Wisdom modifier in place of his Strength modifier for determining his attack bonus with melee weapons.
Greater Sustenance (Ex): Nwm does not need to eat, drink or breathe.
Mind Blank (Su): Nwm is always under the effects of a mind blank, as the spell (CL 40th).
Mind Shielding (Ex): Nwm is immune to detect thoughts, discern lies and any attempt to discern his alignment.
Negative Energy Immunity (Ex): Nwm is immune to negative energy effects such as energy drain and enervation.
Resist Nature’s Lure (Ex): Nwm gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spell-like abilities of fey.
Scrying (Sp): Nwm can use greater scrying at will as the spell (save DC 47). The save DC is Charisma-based and includes a +13 paragon bonus. Caster level 55th.
SLAs: 3/day - greater dispel magic and haste (CL 15th)
A Thousand Faces (Su): Nwm has the ability to change his appearance at will, as if using the disguise self spell, but only while in his normal form.
Timeless Body (Ex): Nwm does not take ability score penalties for aging and cannot be magically aged.
Total Spontaneity: Nwm may cast any spell on the Druid class list without preparation.
Trackless Step (Ex): Nwm leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. He may choose to leave a trail if so desired.
True Seeing (Su): Nwm has a continuous true seeing ability, as the spell. (CL 40th)
Venom Immunity (Ex): Nwm is immune to all poisons.
Wild Empathy (Ex): Nwm can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. He rolls 1d20+70 to determine the wild empathy check result. He can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check if the creature is nongood. His modifier includes a +13 paragon bonus.
Wild Shape (Su): Nwm has the ability to turn himself into any animal, plant, elemental or dragon of size tiny to colossal. This ability functions like the polymorph spell, and the effect lasts for up to 40 hours, or until he changes back. Changing form (to animal or back) is a standard action and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity. The new form’s Hit Dice can’t exceed Nwm’s Druid level.
Woodland Stride (Ex): Nwm may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect him.
Possessions: mistletoe, quarterstaff, robe.
Nwm’s beard is not counted amongst his possessions.[/sblock]
