06-25-07, 12:11 AM ok, Im building a druid for a fresh game that my friends starting, Im not quite sure of the setting as its still a mystery, but I've stumbled into a sort of indisission on which feats to choose to optimize my wildshaping.

Basicly, I was wondering which would be more effective in combat/utility/etc.:

-Taking frozen wildshape and assume supernatural ability on a cryohydra (to be able to use its beath weapon)

-Or take dragon wildshape and assume the shape of a medium dragon (im leaning twards a Song dragon, but any other advise in this matter would also be greatly apreciated)

or to simply skip both these feats...

And with bonded companion and practiced spellcaster you wouldn't miss out on much.

06-25-07, 01:12 AM Aberration Wildshape, from Lords of Madness. Lots of neat options.

Requires the Aberrant Blood feat--the best option being the "flexible limbs" version, which grants a +2 to grapple checks. (As a druid in Wildshape, grappling is your friend).

06-25-07, 02:01 AM Thanks for both of your input its really helped me alot and I really like the natures warrior template. Though a quick problem occured; Im more versed in the 3.0 rules, and after looking at the Phb 3.5 from my friend today I realized that some subtle changes occured to wildshape.

Its confusing me alot...
basicly the 3.0 states that you must adopt one perment form only, though the 3.5 does not state anything of the sort. Does that mean that you are allowed to adopt different forms?

Yes.

Also, if you are looking at Wildshape, Master of Many Forms (Complete Adventurer) is a PrC all about Wildshape.
