[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6702120, member: 92511"] Is a Half-Orc Druid powergamey? No. Of course not. If you are choosing to be a half-orc and/or choosing to be a druid, specifically, so you can gain these perceived "extra/bonus" abilities [a.k.a. powers] or to, specifically, become more "powerful" than other characters because you choose this combination...then, yes. [I]THAT'S[/I] powergamey/-ing.:D Honestly, I see no problem with this particular combo. It is, as others have pointed out, subject to DM adjudication and how your DM is going to rule for how/which racial/class features apply while in animal form. But I can't see how it would be [I]over[/I]powered. So I'd be fine with it. My first/initial reaction/question, actually, was "Can a druid wildshape into a [I]Brown[/I] Bear?" I was pretty sure I read somewhere that a Black Bear was their CR limit, but brown bears were above it...at least at 2nd level. Could be wrong/remembering something from some other game. But, I suppose, that's neither here nor there. [/QUOTE]
