Not being able to cast in animal form is aloss of a huge portion of a druid's power.Power Attack is nice, especially when you get to those forms with really high strength, but few attacks. It also allows you to pick up cleave.Combat Expertise is also nice. A druid's AC is often his biggest problem. Giving up 5 points of AB for 5 points of defense can be very helpful. Dodge is also nice for this same reason.Combat Reflexes has been mentioned. I like this feat as well, though I'd probably get it later on, at 9th or 12th level. Even if the druid has a low dex, many of his animal forms do not.I'm a big proponent of quicken spell at 12th, 15th or 18th level. A druid gets few spells, but being able to toss off a quickend spell after a main spell or an attack is a huge advantage. A quickened resist energy, delay poison or produce flame (you can deliver these as part of a natural attack, you know) can be very helpful.Some people will tell you that Spell Focus: Conjuration and Augment Summoning make a nice addition to a druid's power given his ability to spontaneously cast summon spells, but I disagree. There are few conjuration spells with saves for druids in the PHB. Unless you have a good alternative source for druidic conjuration spells with saves, the cost is too high for the benefit.Leadership is always a nice feat. Druids are at a disadvantage because of their animal companion (which negatively affects his cohort max level), but it is still worthwhile.My current druid, a dwarf, has the following progression planned (though he may change it if he grabs a level of fighter):1: Power Attack3: Combat Expertise (Edited)6: Natural Spell9: CLeave12: Combat Reflexes15: Quicken Spell18: Blind Fighting</blockquote>
