![]() ![]() I just wish the ranger's combat styles would work with a wildshaping druid, it'd be a lot more attractive. The rest looks cool, but the best feature is wasted.Īgreed on barbarian and ranger. My problem with swordsage is that it takes light armour worn to get wis to AC from it, and I won't be wearing armour in wildshape form. ![]() But there's a belt for the important stuff, after all. I agree on monk, it's basically the wis-to-AC that makes it attractive (though speed boosts and various defensive benefits don't hurt). In BAB, skills, HD, the basics of the class offers next to nothing to a druid, which is sad. I could Druidzilla well enough even without the souldmelds. It's got the reflex save mostly, but the whole shapeshifting shtick is kinda already taken. ![]() Totemist does mesh very naturally with druid, but it doesn't seem to offer so much. How would you go about constructing the Warblade Darth Stabber: Thanks for the analysis! In exchange you get three feats including prerequisite-free improved trip, and two combat feats of your choice, extra HP at low levels, and pounce all the mregecko: So you're advocating a wildshape-based thing? That pretty much boils down to Warblade, since Crusader seems to be pretty counter-fluff to the druid (it's a deity-less druid). Relative to Unarmed Swordsage 20 you gain access to higher level maneuvers later (you keep 9s though, getting them at 19 instead of 17) unarmed to AC later, miss double boost entirely (that one hurts) and one point towards your reflex save. Oh and things like pounce and dexterity to damage against flat-footed opponents, and extra hit points at low levels when HP damage is a major threat. and second level maneuvers from the get-go. Gets you the extra iterative at 20 even with fractional attack bonuses a few combat feats at a level where they help. If no templates Druid 20 // Babarian 2 / Fighter 2 (hit and run) / Unarmed swordsage 16 (I'd suggest loosing 0 or 4 personally though, so look for another template or barbarian 2 dip)Īctually Druid 20 // Saint 2 / Barbarian 2 / Unarmed Swordsage 16 looks very strong. Losing a few levels on swordsage isn't at all crippling. If LA is allowed, Saint gives Wisdom to armor class.Ĭombine with Unarmed Swordsage for good defenses. Rogue is good as the extra skills come in handy, most notably hide/move silently, and if you have another melee'r in the party the sneak attack goes from occasionally cool, to frequently awesome. Not quite as good as totemist when paired with druid, unless you need something specific from it. Still weak on the reflex and BAB, but that really doesn't matter unless you are power attacking. adds all sorts of neat tools to your toolbox. Incarnate is a workable option if you aren't focusing on wildshape. Ranger might be worth consideration, gives you full bab, patches reflex, more skills, not terrible but workable. ![]() Monk seems like a decent option, but you aren't getting anything good out it that you couldn't get from swordsage.īarbarian fixes up your bab, and you can rage while wilshaped, but since that turns of your spells it's a less attractive option. Even without that, improved unarmed strike is a solid option (especially if you also pick up multiattack). Pick up the unarmed varient, and get monks unarmed damage progression (you lose some proficiencies but you still get the druid proficiencies), making a full attack in animal form even scarier since you are adding an iterative of unarmed strikes to you natural weapons. Shores up your reflex, manuevers work while wildshaped, add casting stat to ac, initiative bonuses. Swordsage is another good option, especially if you focus on wildshape, use tiger claw manuevers as a tiger. Also it is the least bad combination when combined with VoP (still not great feat even then, but this build is the least hampered). Totemist gives you a ton of extra natural weapons that will stick around with you when you wildshape, it shores up your weak reflex save, and otherwise just meshes very nicely. It fits very neatly flavor wise, and mechanically it works wonders. ![]()
