08-24-07, 02:08 PM I think this question have asked before but whatever.

I'm creating druid and race is problem. I'm thinking half-elf(cool), gnome(size category small so i'm not so sure) or dream dwarf(from Races of stone and it's cool).And if i create dream dwarf i maybe pick earth dreamer prestige class. What do you think?

08-24-07, 02:18 PM The gnome and dream dwarf have the advantage of a Constitution bonus. The druid's wild shape ability replaces your Strength and Dexterity scores, but keeps your hitpoints, so Constitution is really the only physical stat that your race needs to boost.

That said, what you plan to DO as a druid determines what race would be the most mechanically optimal. For a blaster-type druid, something like an anthropomorphic bat from Savage Species would work splendidly to increase the saving throws of your spells (+6 Wisdom score without a level adjustment or any racial hitdice!)

You can summon your wolf or bear companion and then ride it in circles around around the enemy while tying them down with a spell and sniping with your crossbow.

Bat if a major spell caster

Mongrel if going MOF +4 con is nice, then take the rite of bahomut (something like that) for another +2 con

of course the race has negs but a +6 con is nice.
