I have the name, Carn Eldor, and the backstory down, but have no idea what to do with feats. If anyone could help, I would be most obliged.

I have read all the faqs and none of them that I can find give a good 20 level feat progression besides Yekoj's and his has been slightly nerfed as Spellcasting Prodigy no longer grants +2 DC Bonus. Basically, what Im looking for are two first and one third lvl feats.

this everything you need unless you need something VERY specific but you didn´t state that in your posts.

need a lot more info on character concept before anyone can give valid feat ideas...

way too many ways you can take a druid to just give you three feat choices...

Alright then Im looking to go the summoner-wildshape route, does that help anything? Any other info you need?

I'm guessing you didn't actually read the FAQ...
because straight from the CO Board FAQ

Etiquette: ... Additionally since there are so many ways to make a character it is best if you supply what you were thinking about in the first place and let people give you ideas from there. And finally there is no such thing as a free lunch, so you need to put in some work yourself.

Things that need to know:

Books allowed
Level expected to attain
Any specific PrCs / Feats that are not allowed
Alignment
Campaign
Other relevent concept info

By Summoner / Wildshape - do you mean you intend to go straight druid? Are you wanting to power up the summon line of spells or simply have access to them?

The more you put in, the more the folks here can help, but just saying you want a druid with Summoner / Wildshape, I'd say go to the

Druid Build Thread (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=81471)
and
Uberling's Druid Handbook (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=165279)

find something you like, and post with ideas you have that you need help on tweaking or advice on.

Augh. But here's something to get you started.
Druid 10/Contemplative 1/Thaumaturgist 3/Druid 6

1st Ashbound (Eberron Campaign Setting)
1st Education (Eberron Campaign Setting)
3rd Spell Focus: Conjuration
6th Natural Spell
9th Extend Spell
12th Rashemi Elemental Summoning (Unapproachable East)
15th Beckon the Frozen (Frostburn)
18th Energy Substitution: Cold


Talk to your DM. Mine, along with many others, will often allow Energy Substitution to be taken without a pre-requisite. If so, sub it in for Extend, and then pick a feat of your choice at 18th.

If you're really worried about wildshape, pick up an amulet of wildshaping, from Magic of Faerun, to make your wildshaping come back to striaght druid levels. But 4 levels isn't a huge loss.

EDIT: I forgot about energy afiinity, from the Miniatures Handbook. You can take Enerfy Affinity: Cold at 9th level, and then take Energy Substitution: Sonic at level 18.
