[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 5566779, member: 9026"] I'd suggest dropping some levels for Nature's Warrior (Complete Warrior). It's a 5 lvl prestige class, gives full wild shape, 2 spellcasting, and three 'nature's armaments'. It's also full bab. How bout: Druid3/Wizard3/ArcaneHeirophant10/NaturesWarrior5/ArcaneHeirophant9 Would give you @20: BAB 14, Fort 11, Ref 6, Will 14, Also gives Druid casting 24, wiz casting 22, Wild shape 27 I could also suggest things like Warshaper(Comp War) and Master of Many Forms(Comp Adventurer), but they both have the same problem : While they give some nice bonuses to your alternate forms, they don't give any casting increase or Wild shape HD. I also know some nice Arcane buff classes, but they wouldn't give you any druid casting or Wild shape increase. **EDIT: I'd say look through the MM and ELH and see what creatures you can find that you'd like to wild shape into with HD between 20-27, list a couple of them, and then decide how much you're willing to give up to buff other things. The primary decision is what do you want to be your main form? (Also don't forget to look at dragons/etc, there are epic feats that allow you to Wild Shape into them, or Master of Many Forms if you're willing to give up some wild shape HD and casting) As far as Casting goes, if you're just using it for self buffs, then so long as you have maxed casting (~20) then you'll be fine, meaning loosing some caster level for other things wouldn't impact you all that greatly. I believe Shayuri's also fairly knowledgable on Shifters, playing one in my Epic Campaign. [/QUOTE]
