There is a good deal of min/maxing ... such as "if I wear X armor then I can have Y max Dex, then I will buy gloves of Dexterity Z so I will have Dex bonus Y." I think you get the idea. But, then again, I'm the same way when bringing in a character I haven't worked up from 1st level. Mostly they are having in the neighborhood of 3-4 encounters per day. Last session it was 5 encounters. I am aware that summoning spells are full round actions. However, my opponents just can't get to the druid to stop him, not with 30 AC / 100 hp fighters and a nasty animal companion standing in the way. I was not aware that Magic Circle Against Good/Evil would stop a druid's Nature's Summoning; I guess I just thought they had to be creatures  summoned from an aligned plane. If this is true, that might help for an encounter, but I wouldn't want to do it every time.As far as 4e "saving us" .... let's just say that I would like to find a way to make this campaign work within the confines of 3.5.
