Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shayuri" data-source="post: 5563286" data-attributes="member: 4936">Why still going with the 5 ranger rather than more levels in something else?It adds to my Wildshape HD, it gives me Favored Enemy bonus damage to a couple of creature types, and Endurance (a prereq for Master of Many Forms) as a bonus feat. Plus Tracking is fun. In short, it doesn't hurt, and it helps a little.You forgot to count the +1 spellcasting of Nature's Warrior at lvls 2 and 4. If you dropped Druid to 15 and took two more levels in Nature's Warrior, you'd gain an additional +2 AC, another Nature's Armament, you'd still get all the bonuses for Druid 17 casting, and your Wild Shape wouldn't decrease.I didn't forget, I just didn't think it was very important. Good point about the AC though.Why didn't you up Warshaper to 5 for the fantastically awesome Multimorph? It would essentially mean you can change form at will once per round as a move action. Your Wild shape lasts for 35 hours per use, meaning you'd only need a single use per day, and could use the rest as backups or to power Wild feats.Warshaper doesn't increase my Wildshape HD. It was very important that I get to 35 HD, so I could assume the draconic forms I wanted.Why Improved Initiative? It's not a requirement for anything I can see, and the extra 4 initiative isn't really game-breaking in a game that isn't "Person who goes first wins". Using that feat slot and the other empty one you have, you could take Improved Natural Attack twice, for Bite and Claw (Which will likely be your two most used attack forms), or Multiattack/Improved Multiattack.That was a relic from a previous build. Good eye spotting it though...more feats are always useful. Heck, for that matter...do I need Combat Reflexes for anything?Favoured Forms: Little bit of a math problem here, You're forgetting to account for the fact that your base Con is 18, not 10. Your con scores increase by less than you have listed.Tayellah : 34 (Tayella base) +4 (warshaper) = 38. 38 - 18(your base)= +20Force Dragon : 28(Base) + 4 (warshaper) = 32- 18 base = +14Hmm, I thought I'd accounted for that. Let me doublecheck here...Ah, I see...yes you're right. I was working the problem backwards and forgot about that. It works for Strength and Dex, because my base stats are 10 in those...okay, thanks for that catch too! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'll go through and adjust DC's and such as well, based on the corrected figures.Equipment:I think the ring of Ironskin is a waste of money. DR 10/Magic is practically useless, especially when you could gain better DR through any number of shapes. Your favoured forms for example: Force dragon is 20/Magic and Tayellah is 15/Epic.If a Ring of Ironskin gave DR 10/magic, it would be a waste of money, absolutely. It doesn't though. It gives DR 15/adamantine. And since there are plenty of critters at epic levels who don't pierce adamantine DR, it seems like a nice investment. Especially since I'm overflowing with cash at the moment.</blockquote>
