The character is for a campaign that's starting up in a week or so; the campaign will be with 3.5 rules, stats are to be rolled, and the DM specifically mentioned that characters shouldn't be lawful; he wants to run a mercs campagin.
Druid is a weird blend of melee fighter and summoner, and I haven't played a spellcaster in forever, so I picked druid. Chaotic Neutral should work for the alignment; I was thinking of a "storm chaser" type: doesn't have much reverence of life, but is quite obsessed with the assorted displays of nature's fury -- storms, forest fires, etc. Civilization doesn't really bother him; it provides stuff that he can't make himself, and Nature can reclaim the land whenever the heck it wants to, when you get down to it.
I was thinking half-orc for the race, but half-orc just might be the worst possible race for druid. Any suggestions on races? Other than human, anyways? The DM is cool with anything out of Savage Species and probably FR, though I doubt that druids benefit much from being of exotic races.
Also, what about feats? The "casting while wildshaped" feat from Defenders of the Wild is practically mandatory, but I don't know what else would be good.
Also, is it actually worth it to have a low-end animal with the accumulated bonuses as a companion, or should I just go ahead and get a dire wolf?
