Feats for a druid?

Alertness

The druid has both Spot and Listen as class skills, and this will help take advantage of it. If you've feats to spare, it always helps to have a huge mod on those skills.

[Aside]
I played an elf Druid/Master of Many Forms with Alertness and Spot and Listen maxxed. My DM told me it was obnoxious that he could never sneak anything by this guy.

Not that he could do much once he saw something, he just always saw it coming. :D

I dunno. If you max out spot and listen and wisdom, your scores will be ridiculous even without Alertness... and if you get racial skill bonuses in wildshape (I'm not sure what the current ruling on that is), this can get even more ridiculous when you wildshape into an eagle or something.

As a party, we found the greenbound template way too powerful for a lower powered game. We took the alienist PrC and adapted the Greenbound template to it. We now find it much more balenced. Also Stoneform from the RoS book is a decent feat.

I have found the Druid guide on the (shudder) wizards.com Character Optimization messageboard to be quite well done. Thorough, and explains the reasoning behind its opinions.

Sorry, I can't link to it from my, uh, current location ;) . But it shouldn't be too hard to find.
 

Do you want to be a druid archer, summoner, wildshaper or spellslinger? These are the four most viable druid builds IME...

Scribe scroll is a good idea. Hadn't thought of that, but druids do have a lot of good utility spells. .......

Craft Wondrous... I don't know how much magic item creation we'll really be allowed to do. Scrolls are one thing, custom items, something else.

A warning: Ask your DM about down time, time to make items etc. Little or no down time and these feats become useless. And make sure that the rest of the party are happy to stop occsionly for you to make things.
 


For a summoner druid

"Beckon the Frozen" (Frostburn, viscious on summoned mobs with multiple attacks - +1D6 cold damage/attack . A hippogriff (SNA-II) with 3 attacks on FA suddenly becomes a lot more dangerous )

"Sudden Extend" or "Extend Spell" - obvious, really

Others.

Any of the elemental [Reserve] feats from "Complete Mage" - wonderful backup firepower, usable in Wildshape-Form... 'nuff said

Some of the "Sudden Metamagic" Feats - easier to apply than the normal ones. Personally I love "Sudden Silent", used while wild shaped as something like a rat, underfoot and sending in some nasty summoned monster.

For a more feral approach - "Power Attack" to use with some of the nastier shapes' huge strength
