If you do not cheese any of the build. Druid -> Nature's Warrior -> Bit more druid (get 5th spell level and 12 hd wildshape) -> Warshaper. The primary form that you use in this build is dire bear, since they have decent base AC and a huge strength. From NW you pick up the grapple trait(+4 grapple and constrict), the armor trait(+5 base Natural), and the fast healing trait(1 fast healing). For feats I would suggest getting Improved grapple either by burning the feats. Then also get Natural Spell, Minor Shapeshift, Practiced Spellcaster, and Multiattack if your DM allows.For items, you acquire Belt of Strength, Wild Dragonhide Breastplate, and Wild Large Shield. (your party helps you put your belt on after shifting)Then you buff your 5 weapons (Unarmed, 2xClaw, Bite, 1 from Warshaper) with Greater Magic Fang.The results at 12th:+26/+21/+21/+21/+21 (multi attack will increase the secondaries by 3) +16 damage on primary and +9 on secondary (you do not have warshaper yet, but you have iterative on the unarmed. For reference refer to the Troll Hunter entry in the MM)31 Standing AC (17+5NW+6Armor+3Shield) Ioun stone, barkskin, friendly cleric with shield of faith, higher bonus on the breastplate or shield can all increase this further.12 temp hit points as a swift action at will and fast healing of 1+35 grapple (+10 bab, +13 str, +4 size, +4 NW, +4 Improved Grapple)You have 9 druid spellcasting levels.HP 68+(12*ConMod)This build avoid all of the cheese normally associated with druid builds. Further, It goes for a single concept (shifter archetype) and only uses core/complete sources. The best part of this build is that the next 5 level all either increase the builds offense or defense in significant ways. Also with more money invested you can further increase the base AC by another 9 (+5 armor and shield, Ioun stone) and you can increase hit and damage by 1 with karma beads (giving a cl 16 for GMF)Edit: OK, maybe Minor Shapeshift is just a tad cheesy..... or maybe REALLY cheesy.</blockquote>
