01-13-07, 05:46 PM I am trying my first Druid in a campaign. I am looking for advice with a few aspects of the Druid. I plan to go Druid 20.

Are there any tricks for being able to communicate with your party while Wild-Shaped? What are the general tricks (Permenant Rary's Telepathic Bond, etc)? What (if anything) would work with my party: Ranger, Bard, Barb, and myself?

Is there a list of optimal summon nature's ally spells that includes MM1-3? What about a list of wildshape forms?

What feats are particularly useful (Core + Completes available) for an all-purpose build Druid. I am human and have taken Spell Focus (conj) and Augment Summoning. I intend to take Extend Spell and Natural Spell. Beyond that, what would good options be?

A) Take an animal form you know you'll wildshape often (i.e Fleshraker dinosaur) and ask a wizard to adapt a Helm of Telepathy for that shape, hold that item with your animal companion, wildshape in the form, take the helm and that's it.

B) Permanent Rary's Telepathic Bond

For the Summon List and the feats, here's the Druid Handbook (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=465005).
