Druids

[Na'ali]

I'm making an elven druid for a campaign my buddy is involved in, and I wanted to give him a prestige class. Problem is, I haven't seen any that really tailors to the druids needs and strengths. The biggest problem is a loss in spell casting. Has anyone found one they really like or that has worked well for them?

Most of the Druid prestige classes focus on Wildshaping.

That being said, the ... wassit called. The Arcane Heirophant, I think, from Races of the Wild gives full spellcasting for Druid (and Wizard) and Wildshaping.

Druids are one of the base classes that was designed properly. If you want to go into a PrC, you have to give it some serious thought, because as a druid, you're going to be giving something up in the exchange.

Personally, if you don't already have an idea in mind, don't just shoehorn yourself into a PrC just for the sake of being in a PrC. Go straight druid the whole way through.

It's just as good as any other option, unlike with some other classes.
