Help me fix my druid

[Barendd Nobeard]

Oops. I chose a feat I shouldn't have, and now I need to pick a different one.

I've got an 8th level human druid and I need to replace one of his first level feats.

He's already got:
Natural Spell
Spell Focus: Conjuration
Augment Summoning

What other feat should he take? Realize, he would have taken this feat at 1st level. Stats are:

STR 15
DEX 14
CON 18
INT 9
WIS 16
CHA 12


The stat bumps went into Wisdom and now it's an 18.

TIA.

Good choices for any combat-oriented Druid:

Skill Focus (Concentration), Power Attack, Combat Reflexes, Improved Initiative

-- N

If your DM lets you use FRCS, Spellcasting Prodigy is always good for any caster.

Thanks for the suggestions, Nifft & Paxus Asclepius. Not sure which one I'll pick yet (plus "Superior Summons" from Dragon #311 from another thread is a possibility), but they've given me some ideas. Thanks.

Right - I'm replacing an improperly selected 1st level feat.

What happened was my character died, so while everyone else continued, I had to make up my new character. My former PC was 9th level, so my new one was 8th level human....and I had picked three feats that required Wildshape as a pre-requisite and another that required a +5 Base Fort save. Oops.

So, in looking at the character more closely the next day, I realized my mistake ("he couldn't have taken this feat at first or third level....or this feat....or this feat...") and saw that I need to change three feats (his human bonus feat, 1st level feat, and 3rd level feat).

I kept Natural Spell as his 6th level feat, but the other three had to go. So I picked Spell Focus: Conjuration, since it's a pre-req. for the next feat I picked, Augment Summoning. That's fine for his 1st + Human feats (or his 1st + 3rd level feats). But I still need to replace one more. Since someone else took Spellcasting Prodigy in the campaign, I'm sure the DM will allow it if I want to take it. Now, do I want that....or try to talk him into Superior Summons?

I'll quit rambling now.

Track comes to mind. Self-sufficent is also good for a druid. Improved Toughness from Compete Warrior is nice. It gives you +1 hp/HD and you qualify at 1st level.
