Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mr.E_Danger" data-source="post: 6323252" data-attributes="member: 6687532">Druids are a great class.  They have decent weapon and armor proficiencies, good survival based skills, and being a full caster of course.  I don't think that there is an archetype (only one is Feral Child) that removes wildshape completely, but in my opinion, you don't want to.  It's a fun class without wildshape, but i personally think wildshape may be the best ability in the game.You hit it in your original post, you have it, just don't use it if you don't like it.  In reality though, once you have it, you'll find that it can be very useful.  Druids are super variable and wildshape allows you to fit just about any niche the party needs.  Which means you can tailor your play to whatever your party needs.  If the party rogue is out for a session, you can wildshape into a small creature and be more scouty/stealthy. Fighter can't make it?  Become a tiger or a bear and be the shield your casters might need.  Help the rogue flank.  Or prepare some cure spells and be a decent healer (as a large creature you'll have reach!).You don't even get wildshape till level four (level six if you're taking an archetype), and it's only 1 extra times per day every two levels. So i guess what i'm trying to say is you won't be using it all the time anyway, until mid/late levels.</blockquote>
