Also this is a build to optimize Wild Shaping to be a large scale melee combatant.
Alright I need serious help on this, by this I mean Feats, race, ideas in general. It will be LVL 15 Eberron Setting. We’re planning on going epic at some point but that is far ahead, My DM allows the fallowing books: Core + Complete series + Eberron books + Players handbook2 + Psionics + Spell Compendium. I have no idea what to take for feat selection except Natural Spell. Any help would be amazing.

If your trying to optimize a Wild Shaping build for Melee combat you really should go with the Wild Shaping Ranger since they have full BAB
But if you must be a Druid
But as it has already been stated let me reiterate PLANAR SHEPARD
It gives awesome Options as well as Full Spell Casting.
If you rather be a druid, humans, halflings, and dreamsight shifter's are all great. Talenta Halflings should be familiar with all the fun dinosaur breeds right off the bat. If you are going this route, I'd beg your DM for MM3, the very best dinosaurs are in that book, and it gives you great Animal companion options.
An important thing to know is that Wild armor imposes know ACP, so when you get into higher levels, when you'll be Wildshaped most of the time, you can get sweet AC (from dragonhide full plate and the like) for no armor penalty.
lower lvls riding dog was pretty much the team star ahahaha
i reccoment this prc!

I am playing a Master Of Many Forms in my current campaing. I am a dwarf druid5/momf2, just leveled up! i am looking for troll form.... till now i was a pretty decent help with some summons and entangle, nothing expetacular in melle battle.

dont get too excited... I'm a Druid 5 Mmof 8
It's fun but not nearly as good as it should be for all the lost caster levels.
I think this class becomes its coolest at Beholder Form with Assume Supernatural Ability and its improved version.
PLANAR SHEPARD: I'm having trouble locating this I might have overlooked it somewhere. What book and what page would be nice to hear.
Faiths of Eberron pg. 105
dont get too excited... I'm a Druid 5 Mmof 8
I'm currently playing a Druid (Cityscape Swarm Wild Shape) 5/MoMF 5 and can't wait for level 7. Even without SQ's I'm having more fun as a Druid than I've ever had before. All this without casting any spell other than Lesser Vigor.
I always play something like this when I know the campaign won't be completely optimized and I must say it's a lot of fun, MoMF is probably my favorite PrC ever.
you know. people who take any amount master of many forms AND natural spell just make me want to beat them to death, it is like "HEY I DO NOT READ."
What are you talking about?
Natural Spell is an absolute necessity for casting while in Wildshape form(not that I do much casting) But really if you wanna turn into something without hands you can't cast spells anymore.... Just saying
On a high note I love MoMF even if it is considered suboptimal, I feel like it got jipped a bit without the Supernatural abilities although its a good chance for the Feat to from Savage Species to actually get some use.
Either way its a fun class. Especially to mess with your party members who are drunk by turning into them.
First level MoMF ability partially replaces Natural Spell, as it grants speech (verbal component). It does not grant access to material components and focuses though.
Precisely why natural spell is still necessary... although i suppose it could be house ruled to intend normal spell casting.
Even better if he had the fangshield druid lvl 5 substitution level (wild shape hands). Any good nonhumanoid races for that?
pretty easy to retain your focus or components, you know, free action drop your component pouch wildshape, then put it in your mouth viola now you got your components and foci
...At which point you'd need Silent Spell unless your DM thinks you can verbalize spells while clenching things in your teeth. Theoretically, if you restricted yourself to bipedal forms with opposable thumbs this difficulty goes away. Or, yanno, you could take Natural Spell.
;)
Where can I find the WS ranger?

Fast Wild Shape
I don't think Fast Wild Shape is worth it, at least, not with all the completes. The 'of the beast' item set from Complete Champion grants the same thing without costing you wild shape uses.
In it's place I'd add Draconic Wildshape. At which point, you're pretty much done, you could spend the rest of the feats on skill focus:profession and you're still probably the strongest character in the group.
