Kelleris-
Wild Shape is limited to the druids hit dice and does not cap at 15. It is clearer in the write up in Masters of the Wild. (though it does mention it in the SRD text)
perivas-
Another thing to note is that your character loses all supernatural and spell like abilities when shapeshifted. This is a good and bad thing because your tree dependence is a supernatural ability.
If you are looking to be primarily a caster, there are a few things you should look into purchasing:
An amulet from the Book of Eldritch Might that increases all your spell DCs by 2 for 50k
A pale green Ioun Stone increases your caster level by 1 for 30,000gp. Deconstructing the item it appears increasing your caster level costs (increase level)squared x 15,000gp. It is probably worth your time to get a +3 caster level item to compensate for your LA. for 135,000gp
By the same note it is probably a good idea to get a strand of prayer bead for the bead of Karma for those annoyingly high SRs.
Another point is that Shapechange, in your particular situation, is probably more powerful than Wildshape. Unless you intend Wildshape to be a very significant part of your character, I would not spend my epic feats on increasing that ability.

That is crazy-powerful. Bleh. I still won't take it, though, since nobody's failing saves against my spells anyway.
Well, there ya go. Told you I didn't know much about divine characters. Haven't even had a druid player in a year or two.
Might want to just go with Wrahn's suggestions, perivas. I'll take a look if you like, but I clearly don't know what I'm talking about.

First Post
Ooo...I did not realize the limit on my own hit dice for the wildshape ability. That makes me extremely limited, since the primal forms and the weirds (although I don't quite recall their HD level) are out. I have to seriously reconsider it. Thank you, Wrahn and Kelleris, for pointing these things out.
As for the bead of karma and BOEM, those are both good ideas. With the wildshape limits, I may need a substantial rework of the character.

This represents a pretty serious divergence from what you originally posted, mostly with the feats.
*****************************************************
*It assumes that you can delay taking feats until you qualify for them.*

Isida may want to make some sort of ruling on that.
Anyway this is a much more powerful casting druid. All spells are automatically quickened so you can cast 2 a round. I will post the character as a Pit Fiend (with shapechange) later. I also used the UA variant rule to buy off one of your LA for 7k Experience.

36,000 +6 intelligence item. I actually already assumed you had it since it is necessary to get the bonus feat from Loremaster.

I would rather you take your feats when you get them, instead of "saving" them, as it usually ends up with someone having a ton of high-level feats. And that usually ends up throwing balance out of whack somewhere.
Isida Kep'Tukari said:
Fair enough. I tend to agree.
So perivas, You might want to consider taking the Improved Spell Capacity feats, getting 10th, 11th and 12th level spells slots with their associated bonus spells for your wisdom.
It requires a more complicated spell list and you might want to consider changing out extend and persistent spell with empower and (insert your favorite meta magic feat here) to open up more choices to use with your new upper range of spells.
