Druid/Wizard/Arcane Heirophant feat list...Hmmm [Archive] - Wizards Community

09-06-07, 12:27 AM I am starting off a new Human character as a Druid/Wizard build to play an Arcane Heirophant, which my final build will be Druid 7 / Wizard 3 / AH 10. I was imagining to be more of a wild shaping / blaster, and at the moment I am not sure if I made the right choice for my feat list.

Natural Spell - A must have.
Eschew Materials - I needed to take since it roleplays out the wildshape spellcasting aspect without materials in claws.
Track - No one else in the party has the Track ability.
Practiced Spellcaster (Wizard) - This in the end balances out my caster levels to a 17/17 for both types at lvl 20.
Alternate Source Spell - High level of flexibility, and able to focus on a single stat for a higher spell DC (i.e. a Divine Fireball).
Dragon Form - This feat is too cool for a 12th lvl Druid not to pass up.
Quicken Metamagic
Maximize Metamagic

Is this listing a good pick of feats for a Wild shaping / blaster? If not any suggestions and why?

Thanks for your time.

Assume a 10d6 Fireball for example:
Maximized: 10*6 = 60
Empowered: (10*3.5)*1.5 = 52.5 but while doing 7.5 damage less it costs one spell slot less than maximize, which means one Magic Missile more for you :D. That's an additional 5d4+5 (Average: 17.5) points of damage.
