Message: <blockquote data-quote="Machiavelli" data-source="post: 3354649" data-attributes="member: 40964">If you still want rage, fast movement, and eventually tireless rage, your character could be a "Druidic Avenger" from Unearthed Arcana.  It's like the druid, with the noted barbarian features, but you lose the animal companion, spontaneous summoning, and take a -4 to animal empathy checks.  At 7th level you can easily meet the Kensai prerequisites.  You'll have 3 Wildshape uses per day that you probably won't want to use (it melds your signature weapon, making it useless while in animal form), but you can dump them into powering Lion's Pounce [CD] instead.  You'll also have 2 rages per day, which you could swap for Whirling Frenzy [also UnArc] to synergize nicely with Lion's Pounce.  Heck, your signature weapon could be something "swoopy" like a Great Scimitar, or a Scyth to free up the EWP feat.The flavor of a Druid 7/ Kensai x is MUCH different than a Fighter 8/ Kensai x, of course.  You'd almost need to be charged with the destruction of a small empire to justify building up your power to high levels before launching the crusade that would make or break your character.  Heck, your DM may be delighted to run with that plot hook (in the campaign I'm playing in, my DM is building the campaign around our orc fighter's ambition to use the 2nd-Edition rules for securing his own holdfast and self-made lordship).It's just a thought.  It's not terribly optimized, especially considering the druid's armor restriction, but I just think it's a very cool idea.</blockquote>
