[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 4838839, member: 29112"] Druid is solid. I'm not nearly as familiar with the 3.0 version, but I'll assume that the animal companion and Wild Shape features are not radically different (from 3.5). So, with that in mind, I would recommend the Shapeshift class variant from the PHB II, a 3.5 supplement. It replaces both the forementioned class abilities, and in general makes for a more universally useful, and less hassle-prone, Druid. IMO, anyway. If it's even allowable. Reasonable HP, medium BAB, some nice spells (including some ranged attacks, and utility of certain kinds), and plenty of oomph in melee when you need it. Or yeah, Cleric is strong. Pick the War domain, and one other, preferably using a martial weapon courtesy of some deity or other, and you'll be fighting nearly as well as a Fighter (without Weapon Focus) for your first four levels, give or take. You can wear plate armour too, and heft a shield if you like. Your HP are not going to be quite as high, but the difference mightn't be that great. And besides, your spells can buff you (and/or others) like crazy, if that appeals. [/QUOTE]
