[QUOTE="Legildur, post: 1914009, member: 1258"] LOL! I face exactly the same attitude in my group. Mind you, their tone has changed somewhat after a few levels... A 9th elven Druid is nothing to sneeze at. Mind you, just lost my pet wolf for the 1st time to some hook horrors. :-( I've gone the Augment Summoning and Natural Spell route and thoroughly think that it has served me well. Augmented Dire Wolves are my DM's pet hate now. Especially when his pet huge purple worm went down in 2 rounds to the barbarian and my wolves. Anyway, no one has mentioned that summoned animals don't need to beat spell resistance?? But, on the downside, there is the 1-round casting time, short range, and congestion it causes (though sometimes desirable). Summoned animals can also deal with different threats - water, air, land etc. And some of the special attacks (trip, electricity etc) can be saviours. I tend to use wildshaping for scouting roles - very successfully. [/QUOTE]
