[QUOTE="Brother MacLaren, post: 3980652, member: 15999"] Not the case IME. You still need high Con, since wildshape doesn't change HP. You still need high Dex, to survive those first few levels (and all the times at higher levels when you aren't wildshaped, which IN ACTUAL GAMEPLAY, as opposed to the Internet, tends to be non-negligible). If your DM isn't using the Magic Item Compendium, you'll want to stay in your normal form more often, since then you can retain the benefit of your magic items. You also need high Dex to qualify for certain feats, such as Fast Wild Shape. I would guess that over the course of all campaigns that have actually been played, PC druids are in their normal form for more rounds of combat than they are wildshaped. A few of the reasons might include: games that take place mostly at lower levels, players who have enough taste to not annoy their fellow gamers and DM with the idiocy of a cloak-wearing bear, and DMs who enforce the communication barrier.
