Naturally she was pleased when there were a few feats in the Campaign Setting that let a druid take a Unicorn has a totem animal and you can call one for an animal companion eventually. I was just wondering if anyone saw the special ability for taking the Unicorn has a totem animal kind of underpowered. All druids at 9th level become immune to poison. The Unicorn gives a +4 to poison. I was thinking of changing the ability to maybe give the druid a bonus to healing spells they cast, like a +1 per level of spell or something. I just think they should get something better. Anyone have any opinions?

Once per day, the druid can wildshape into her totem creature, gaining the extraordinary and supernatural abilities of the form. That's the whole point of the feat.
