I need help locating some Feats. I am playing in a new game and required to play a 8th Level Druid. No prestige classes. However, I would like to be able to cast in amimal form. I would also be intereted in Feats that increase my abilty in combat when in wolf form.

Thanks for your help.

Multiattack.

When you say "Wolf form" you really mean Ferocious Slayer, right?

The Shapeshifter variant explicitly states that you cant cast spells while shifted.

The Shapeshifter variant explicitly states that you cant cast spells while shifted.Fortunately, its a swift action to use Shapeshift - so you shift out, cast your spell and hang out for a while in human form, and then shift back into form your next turn.

Improved unarmed strike and Superior Unarmed Strike from Tome of Battle.

Gives you an iterative attack on top of the natural attack routine.

One level of monk tends to work well too, just not with superior unarmed strike.

True. But he explicitly stated that he "would like to be able to cast in animal form" which is impossible with the Shapeshift variant.

I'm also playing a lvl3 Shapeshifter Druid at the moment.

Improved Natural Attack, although I would wait until you get slams at level 12/16 since the damage increase will be higher.

Improved Unarmed Strike/Improved Grapple. Str increases + Size increases allow for good grappling and IUS opens up extra attacks as mentioned before.

I'm having troubles thinking of a 6th level feat for a dominantly spell casting druid. Any ideas?
