[QUOTE="Quidam, post: 1886615, member: 3391"] [b]why a dino?[/b] The first reason I chose a deinonychus as his primary wildshape (and as his animal companion) was because the party had already encountered some that had been tamed by the baddies. The pounce is nice- but so are all those racial skill bonuses. "A deinonychus has a +8 racial bonus on Hide, Jump, Listen, Spot, and Survival checks." There's also the +5 NA, the speed of 50 and the extra natural weapon. But as this is an NPC which is about to pass into the hands of a player, I've no doubt other forms will be used to great effect. Insofar as that collar you mention, BM- I, as a DM, would set a mighty high price for something so crunchy. I'd rather see the character use tattoos or ioun stones or rule wildshaped items the way RC suggests than start going down that road. I like the method you outline, RC, and will likely use that myself. I'm curious to hear how other DM's have ruled this issue and how they've felt it effects class balance with the druid. [/QUOTE]
