Shifter needs feat help

[Angerland]

Ok. my shifter Druid just hit 3rd level and I need help with aselecting a feat.
So far he has Shifter instincts from 1st level. I am staying away from Spell Focus Conjuration because at 9th level I will become a Moonspeaker (PrC) and gain Augment Sumoning as a bonus feat.

I was mainly looking at shifter feats, but if you have a better suggestion I am all ears.
The way I figure it, I meet the pre reqs for:
Healing Factor
Razorclaw Elite

I am also looking closely at Ashbound also...what do you all think?


p.s Core, PHBII, Complete X, Races X, Ebberon books only please.

Dreamsight is an awesome shifting mode if you can get it... it's in Races of Eberron.

 

[Angerland]

extra shifitng trait is a separate feat that I won't qualify for until I already meet some other pre reqs. It is a damn good trait though, esp for a druid shifter.


Any thoughts on a feat for my war trained riding dog while your at it?

Are you taking any of the shifter druid racial substitution levels? They have some solid features.

Shifter Ferocity is quite a good feat for someone who can cast cure spells on themselves. It's actually better than Diehard while you're shifting!

For your riding dog, I would recommend a few feats: Iron Will, Weapon Focus(Bite), or Armor Proficiency(Light). I think WF(Bite) is the best in there.. you can emulate AF(Light) by giving it a mithral chain shirt.

I will second Blarg about the druid racial substitution levels. If your DM would allow you to retrain your first level and then take the 4th as well, they can be very potent especially with Rapid summons and such later on. I managed to build a very nice gestalted Shifter Druid/Monk with the racial substitution levels It makes your life ALOT easier not having to worry about shifting and wild shaping. Picking up Dreamsight later will also be a good idea.

I didn't take any sub levels because I wanted an animal companion. First time Druid player and I wanted to see what I could with the whole class. The riding dog is war trained, can already wear armor. In fact it's wearing studded leather right now and has the best AC in the party currently (AC22).

Some feats for making your animal companion stronger:
Companion Spellbound - PHB2 pg77 - Share spells at 30', Touch spells at short range
Natural Bond - CAdv pg114 - +3 level for companion abilities
Coordinated Strike - RotW pg149 - gain +1 attack bonus in the same round your companion attacks the creature
