Making a 5th lvl druid for forgotten realms. All Core books,Complete arcane and Divine, Lost Empires of, Magic of , Races of, silver marches, and Deities & Demi Gods. There is a half-elf ranger in the party, half-orc Barb, human cleric, and a Human wizard/cleric of Mystra who is going Mystic therug to max out in both. I dont know how he is goinng to do that but it would be nice to post that also, i am thinking of human.

Stats are:
17,15,15,12,12,16

Race: Strongheart Halfling

Feats: Greenbound Summoning, SF: Conjuration, Augment Summoning, (Natural Spell at 6th)

Score Placement: S 12 (-2 = 10), D 12 (+2 = 14), C 15, I 16, W 17 (+1 = 18), Ch 15. (All remaining points to Wisdom)

The build will continue to Druid 20, or Druid 10/(Full BAB Full Divine class here) 10 if you find a class that is suitable.

------

Alternate:

Race: Human

Feats: Ethran, SF: Conjuration, Greenbound Summoning, (Leadership at 6th, it is also key to take Infernal Bargainier at level 15.)

Score Placement: S 12, D 12, C 15 (+1 = 16), I 16, W 17, Ch 15 (1 point to Charisma and the remainder to Wisdom for the rest of the levels.)

The build will continue to Druid 10/Hathran 1/Divine Disciple 5/Thaumaturgist 4 (ending with 4 levels of Druid) if you find a class that is suitable. Ask your DM to substitute the Summoner Domain for one of the other domains Mielikki posesses.

------

Both of these classes have strong Summon Nature's Ally spells. The first build is an all-around druid, having good Wild Shape and spellcasting abilities. The second build sacrifices late-game Wild Shape abilities for a vast expansion of the druid spell list (many of which are new summoning spells). This is arguably the much more powerful build, since Shapechange often eclipses Wild Shape past level 17 anyway, although it requires a slight fudging of the rules in order to allow for use of the new domain in CD.
