(We've disallowed leadership from our game because it's both very powerful and spotlight-hogging).  There are some pretty uber druid feats in Complete Divine; I might see if my DM would let me take one of those instead of the animal companion. Spontaneously casting the earth domain spells is a possibility, but, and I hate to be negative, it's a sucky one.  The earth domain spells include very few spells that are broadly applicable--wall of stone is probably the best one, and even that won't be useful in every battle the same way that Summon Nature's Ally is.  If I go for a set of spontaneous castings, it'll need to be a set that applies in a majority of battles. The dwarven defender would definitely fit, flavorwise, but it's extremely powerful, far better than rage.  IIRC, the abilities are:+2 str (vs. +4 for rage)+4 con (same)+2 on all saves (vs. +2 on will for rage)+4 dodge AC bonus (vs. -2 for rage)Can't move from one spot (vs. can't do things like spellcasting for rage) Perhaps toning this down would work? e.g., +2 on str, con, and natural armor; no save bonus?  That's still pretty sweet, but not uber. DR would be a possibility, too; I'll run that by my DM.  Does anyone have Complete Divine and can verify that the movement/rage are the only benefits the savage druid gets, and spontaneous casting/animal companion are the only benefits the savage druid loses? Thanks!Daniel</blockquote>
