Any other gish-type PrCs should not exceed this power level.3.5/4E hybrid skill systemSome of 4E flavor ("Points of Light," Feywild, Shadowfell, Far Realm), some of 3.5 flavor (Lords of Madness, Fiendish Codex, Great Wheel, Greyhawk gods)Greatly limiting buffing by limiting sources, bonus types, and maximum bonuses; absolutely no stat-boosting effects at all except for Gauntlets of Ogre Power (18 Str)Power Attack like Pathfinder's versionWeapon skills similar to BECMI Weapon Mastery or to Might & Magic VIIWildshaper, beastmaster, and summoner are druid PrCs with non-casting 1st levels; base druid has no wildshape, animal companion, or spontaneous SNA.Give the d12 more love</blockquote>
