However it can be handy to not completely neuter them... for example, you need 13 str for power attack... not all DMs will allow you to qualify solely on the basis of your wildshaped forms str. As for cha, while you may think of it as a good dump stat, druids actually benefit from a decent charisma. Higher int is good too, more skills. And in your analysis, 16 starting wisdom instead of 17 means 1 less ac.Track in practise is a particularly useless feat for a druid... its a bonus feat when you wildshape into a (dire) wolf, amongst others. Scribe scroll.. meh, scrolls are cheap enough to buy, craft wonderous or crafts magic arms/armour are decent tho. Natural spell I agree is a given, I detest improved initiative tho.. more often than not it makes no difference at all. And even when the cases where it does help you move before an enemy, it won't always even be an advantage. And a feat that 'just improves my AC by 3' ? look at dodge, heh. Still, at the end of the day, it depends on whether you focus more on the spellcasting side, or more on the melee fighting side.The elementals are the best example, and I can see the air elemental in particular being very useful for combat.. the whirlwind ability is particularly good. However I can't see a whirlwind wearing bracers. Dire bats may also have a problem wearing bracers, which situationally can be a very useful shape.My example turned out differently to yours. Granted I used heavy armour, but even tho I was using a periapt anyway, spending the same gold as I did on plate/shield on belt/bracers instead would have consistantly netted me 2 less ac. And your druid with bracers/belt can never get fortification, a significant disadvantage at the higher levels.Well, that I agree on. Sometimes a monks belt will be better. However, not always. As such, I fail to see how its unbalanced.</blockquote>
