[QUOTE="heymitch, post: 5525113, member: 61906"] One other point about Druids is that your equipment purchases will tend to be more focused than other classes, particularly since so many items won't be accessible to you in wild shape. There's no point in investing in any weapons (after the first couple of levels) except an Amulet of Natural Armor. If you do the Monk dip-level thing, you won't be investing in armor, either. You can't use wands, or rods, or scrolls, or potions, or any items requiring activation while in wild shape. That isn't to say that you'll never own scrolls or a wand of cure light wounds or lesser restoration, but you're liable to make less of an investment into these items than other casters, since using it requires you to drop out of wild shape to retrieve the item. It also means that more of your wealth will be concentrated in things that work in wild shape, like stat-boosting headbands and belts, cloak of resistance, ring of protection, and the like. You'll tend to have fewer (but more expensive) items than other classes that collect every knickknack they can get their hands on. I also think that the Craft Wondrous Item feat tends to be underrated for Druids, since most of the items you really need, you can make with that one feat (at half the price). It's especially useful in campaigns where it's hard to find the magic items you really want. [/QUOTE]
