[QUOTE="mcgeedis, post: 3602032, member: 41995"] Well, I've decided to make a Druid for our next campaign, mainly because I've never played one before. We rolled our ability scores last night and we have 16, 15, 15, 14, 13, 11. Our campaign setting is a one of a winter world. The highest temperature is perhaps 1 degree Celsius in the summer, and -20 in the winter (I think). I'm thinking I might be either a half elf or a human (there is a houserule that allows half elves to gain an extra feat at 1st level). I am allowed to use the core books (DMG, PHB, and MM) in my character creation and all of the "Complete" book series. Additionally, we are allowed one non core feat, spell, ability, class, or prestige class per level (with DM approval, of course). The main question is, what path shall my Druid take toward the higher levels? I want to maximize my character of course also. What animals are the best to wildshape into? How shall I divide up my ability scores? Skills to focus on? Any good prestige classes to trend toward? How about some good spells for a Druid? Feats? What other races shall I consider? What I plan on so far is being a Druid who will spell cast early in combat (buffs, some damage dealing, and combat control), then wildshape into a bad mother and enter combat on the reserves (we have a warblade in the party that will mush them up early on). I will be taking Natural Spell of course. What shall I do in the early levels? We won't have another healer, so I think I may be focusing on that early on. Eventually, we will rely on wands and potions. Thanks for bearing with me through this long post. But I want to make sure I do things right at first rather than regretting my choices later on.
