Iam having a discussion with my friend with a build that look
like

druid 5/ Planar Shepherd 10/ Nature Warrior 5

Our
discussion is about the wild shape ability, what do you get with Nature Warrior
and Planar Shepherd. (HD, size and type) in the end.

-Rules-
Nature Warrior (Complete Warrior)
With the ability (Wilding) from Nature Warrior say that:
Nature warrior class levels stack with druid levels (as well as levels in
other prestige classes that allow these abilities to stack) to determine wild shape ability and for
wild empathy checks.....

Planar Shepherd (Faiths of
Eberron)
But with Planar Shepherd it say that you only get HD and size ( but
not creature type)

So does Nature warrior (Wilding) overwrite the
Planar Shepherd rule allow you to get creature type or is it the Planar Shepherd that
overwrite Nature warrior (Wilding)

how do you read/understand it ?

Not sure what the confusion is...

You will get 20 levels of HD/Size improvements on your druid whild shape and 10 levels of creature type wild shape.

Wilding ability say that
Nature warrior class levels stack with druid levels (as well as levels in
other prestige classes that allow these abilities to stack) to determine wild shape ability and for
wild empathy checks.....

The confusion is this, do the Wilding ability overwrite the Planar Shepherd rule with creature type dont Count ?

Because it say that allow these abilities to stack)

druid 5/nature warrior 5 = wild shape as if 10 lvl druid
druid 5/planar shepard 5 = wild shape as if 10 lvl druid
druid 5/planar shepard 5/nature warrior 5 = wild shape as if 15 lv druid.

@ Nistra
not quite ... yes, you get 15 HD, but not the bonusses of being a 10th lvl druid

to clarify this for the OP:
No, Natures warrior does not override the PS's ruling - that sidenote is only that, a sidenote

sooooo

in your case, you'll end up with a character, that can wildshape in creature of 20 HD and the size restrictions a druid of lvl 20 has (so all), but in terms of creature types, you'll end up with a lvl 10 druid (so you won't get elemental WS from your effective druid lvls) plus the different creature types the PS grants you

I hope that was clear enough ...
