[3.5] Equipment for Druid 11th

[Pierre Husted]

I've got at GhostWise Halfling Barbarian 1st/Druid 11th character, and would like some suggestions on good equipment for him.

Feat-wise he's kind of focused on wildshape with Track, Rapid Spell, Natural Spell, Multiattack and Dragon Wild Shape feats.

He's in Forgotten Realms, but anything official WoC 3.5 goes...

Wilding clasps can be useful. Perhaps some lesser rods of extend for buffs.

[Pierre Husted]

That's what I thought too.


So far he has this equipment, but I wanted a few ideas for better equipment.

Well I have not made a druid in a while but that looks ok. Perhaps changing the dex with con but then again your forms will have low dex since they are dragons. I assume that you will be getting wild on your armor.

[Pierre Husted]

Just packed away the armor, and changed to using the bracers - since the Monk's Belt's Wis to AC doesn't work while wearing armor.

He's a bit over "Wealth by level guidelines", so it wouldn't hurt to sell some of it to get other equipment.


We're using the wild shape errata where your original con determines your HP in wild shape. So a Con+ item isn't that good.

[olentu]

Well I remembered it to be that you retain the HP of your original form even though your con changes so a boost in HP to your normal form should carry over but I might be remembering the alternate form ability incorrectly.

Also if your DM does not like the whole wild armor merges and so you are not wearing armor thing then the armor is of little use.

[Pierre Husted]

Hey, you're right. A boost to con would carry over to the wild shape.
I'm getting one of those then! :)

I'm not wearing armor because the bracers combined med Monk's Belt (both with a wilding clasp) provides a higher AC-bonus.

Armor + Monk's Belt is equally effective for half the cost though. Get +Whatever Wild Armor. When you wild shape, your armor melds with your form but continues to give bonuses. Since you're no longer wearing armor, your monk's belt kicks in.
