That would influence my suggestions for them. And maybe if there isn't a clear articulation of that yet, you could instead share a short summary of current build focusing on what's not working and why?My immediate response would be that you probably don't want to suddenly let the wildshaped druid be able to cast artificer spells through their Arcane Armor because that depreciates the 18th level Beast Spells druid feature (allowing them to cast druid spells while wildshaped). But some kind of very limited artificer casting could work as a house rule – even that might be unnecessary though as the Armorer subclass lets them cast Mirror Image or Fire Shield or Greater Invisibility and then they can wildshape while keeping that spell up which is a potent strategy.My other immediate response is to just let them benefit from the AC of their Arcane Armor while wildshaped. Seems perfectly in line with the narrative of the armor practically being part of you (it regrows your limbs after all!), and it's not overpowered as long as you're throwing decent threats at the party to whittle down 2014 druid's extra wildshape HP.</blockquote>
