[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 2319982, member: 1622"] The druid in our party didn't take it at 6th because he wanted leadership instead. We pestered him for 3 levels because he never used wildshape in combat because it meant he couldn't cast spells (and his cohorts kept leaving, so he was getting nothing out of leadership). So half the time he'd just stand around not doing anything, because his attacks in elf form were pathetic. Natural spell is a [i]must have[/i], perhaps more so than any other feat in existance. Wildshape is a huge part of a druid's arsenal, as are spells. If you have to exclude one or the other during combat, you're seriously gimping yourself. Anyone who has ever played a druid in a campaign where there is at least somewhat frequent combat will tell you that natural spell is a must have. And as for the original question, I think it's been played out. Yes, there is some support in the rules for a druid to turn into a swarm, but it doesn't fit with common sense. It's definitely something you should talk to your DM about before attempting. -The Souljourner [/QUOTE]
