Take Natural Spell and be both!
sniffles said:I don't think you have to plan around wildshaping at all. I've played two druids in 3.5, and I've never once used wild shape for either of them. In our Greyhawk campaign, my druid/ranger is actually the primary combat "monster" of the party. She has a longspear and a two-handed scimitar (GM ignores weapon size rules), and she does major damage with them. She's just as effective that way as she would be turning into a bear or something.
It's all in what you want to do with the character that decides whether your druid is more effective as a wildshaper or with some other focus.
Come on back?Klaus said:Flame Blade ... delivering touch attacks ...!
shadowlight said:How do you deliver touch attacks with a Flame Blade? The druid doesn't touch the enemy their Flame Blade does...
SRD said:Attacks with the flame blade are melee touch attacks.
Andor said:What exactly does a druid lose indoors aside from the entangle line of spells? Even Call Lightning works inside now. Druids are more effective in the wilderness sure. They ain't exactly pansies in close quarters. They are capable melee combatants even standing upright. They are the second best blaster types in the game. (Third if you have psions.) They are the strongest summoners in the games. (Again Psions can be better if you use the minds eye stuff.) They have poison, call lightning, flame strike, wall spells. Wild Shape is just icing on the cake, since anything a druid can turn into, he can summon long before.
Mystery Man said:The player in my group did much the same thing, he never wild shaped because the crap he could summon did more damage than he ever could. Druids are a handful.
NCSUCodeMonkey said:Wildshape is about more than changing into a bear and wading into melee. It grants many modes of movement and size alteration that really come in handy. So, you don't have to focus on wildshape, but I wouldn't ignore it either![]()

Ridley's Cohort said:Stuck indoors, I would rate them the 4th best blaster types behind the Wizard, Sorceror, and even the Cleric if we think of "blasting" as something other than merely HPs damage. 6th best once we crack open the XPH.
