Just before the "Specialist Wizard Variants" section, there is a small list of other class variants, such as a fighter giving up his bonus feats to gain sneak attack. Could someone please list the druid variant that is there?

I know they lose armor/shield proficiencies, and wild shape, to gain the monk Wis bonus to AC, monk speed, but I can't remember the rest. Could someone please help me out. I'm at work, and don't have my book in front of me. Thanks in advance.

The rest I can remember is Ranger's favored enemy, and they get the Monk AC bonus to AC (not just the Wisdom part of it). I seem to think they get at least one other Ranger ability, but I don't recall which one.

Note: That variant is cool with the druidic avenger variant class, in my opinion, both flavor-wise, and from a powergaming perspective. A perfect match, if you ask me.:D

So we have -

Gain:
AC bonus (as monk)
Enhanced movement (as monk)
Favored enemy (as ranger)
Track feat (as ranger)

Lose:
Armor/shield proficiencies
Wild shape (all)

Can anyone with the UA book in front of them confirm this?

Since UA will be added to the SRD, I think it's legal for me to tell you.

You got it right.
