In that case, what should be improved or expanded to compensate for the lack of spells are her abilities towards nature and animals.For example, you can consider a few of the following ideas to grant her through her levels:- An ability to brew potions which work like magic potions but they are not magic. Instead of being based on spells known it could be based on the use of Profession(Herbalist) skill.- More than one animal companion.- Some supernatural/extraordinary ability equivalent to the animal-oriented spells, making it clear that it is not a magic ability. This could be done by dramatically expanding the possible uses of Wild Empathy feature: for example, every new Druid level she could choose a new effect (similar to a spell which would be available at that level) that she can replicate by using WE.- Increase the power and the flexibility of a couple of her minor class feature. For example, the Resist Nature's Lure could improve and later give immunity, or between Venom Immunity and Timeless Body you can give immunity to disease or faster recovery of HP and ability damage when resting.- Ability to perform pagan non-magical rituals which reproduce some Divination effects through reading nature, such as watching the flocks of birds fly = Augury, 1/day at level 3rd.I wouldn't change wild shape much to be honest.</blockquote>
