Aridha's mechanics are pretty easy. She can swing a scimitar, cast spells, or turn into big scary animals twice per short rest.
Ha, ha - Aridha is a bit straight forward, but what about ability improvement (or feat) are you thinking of and for Aridha I was wondering if she would ever want non-metal breastplate? I still wonder how feral is she? feathers in hair, crocodile tooth necklace. Hmmm ideal would be one of those native american bone and bead chest plates and say it was like wearing a breastplate?
Then we can RP her meeting an "odd" blacksmith who works in that sort of stuff.
As a druid, she can't wear metal armor. I kind of wanted a barbarian multiclass, but I had to dump an attribute, hehe. I suppose I could dump Intelligence, put the 10 in Charisma and the 12 in Str, then boost Str with a feat and MC barbarian around 5th level...
But eh...not inclined to worry too much about it, I guess. Though a raging dire wolf would be hilariously good.
As for feats, lets see...
At 4th level, probably Resilient: Dexterity. That gives her Dex to 16 and gives her proficiency in Dex saves. A solid choice for her.
8th level would be a Wis boost.
After that, probably wait-and-see. Not sure where we'll be as a party by then.
Aridha is...more rural than feral, I believe. Her folks were reclusive...made their living off the land, but they still traded with folks in town, went in for the farmer's market sometimes. They're backwoods folks.

Interesting. The Barbarian multiclass would then mean you wouldn't need any armor at all having (oh still not in the RG) but your CON bonus as AC was what I was looking for think it is +2 so looking at +5 AC 15 which is just 1 off of breastplate (14 +2 DEX max)
Sounds good and raging would bump up the animals a good bit. With the ability to use spell slots to regain HP Aridha would be an excellent tank both dealing and taking dmg. Just never think of tank role when I say druid, but still new to 5e myself.
EDIT: Reading this I was wondering. Does the animal form get the CON bonus to AC as well??

Yeah, but a barbarian multiclass needs Str 13 to do, and Aridha has Str 8, cuz she's just a wee lassie.
As for AC, by my reading I'd be able to use either the Barbarian Uarmored Defense AC, OR the animal AC. They wouldn't stack. I'd have to pick whichever one was better.
Oh that's right sorry will know your stats by heart soon enough.
If you use the Barbarian armor def isn't it always going to be the animals, natural, size and DEX modifiers as normal (just their regular AC), but you get to add CON to that (their CON Stat??not Aridha?)
