I'm joining a running campaign with another friend on 3rd lvl. They're lacking a tank and have a bard as a healer, and since my mate is gonna play a barbarian, I was thinking to roll a druid (played cleric a few times, wanted to do something new)
I want to make a halfling druid, with a brixashulty as animal companion and probably the first lvl of halfling druid racial substitution level.
The brixashulty and the racial substitution level are both from Races of the Wild.
The brixashulty is a goatlike creature, with decent stats and a knockback attack.
I consider to multiclass with wizard, so i can give boost like True strike (cast spell, charge, next round attack with spear or throw a magic stone), Shield, Mage armor and the like. Mind that the Share spell special ability functions with non-druid spells.
The arcane hierophant PrC (also RoTW) would fit nicely with this build, starting at lvl 7. Rough sketch:
lvl 1, druid1, feat spellbond companion (phb II)
lvl 2, wiz 1
lvl 3, wiz 2, feat natural bond or theurgic bond
lvl 4, druid 2
lvl 5 wiz 3
lvl 6 druid 3, feat (taking suggestions)
lvl 7, arcane hierophant 1
Theurgic Bond (from dragon magazine) almost does the same as Natural Bond, but applies to your animal companion or your familiar. Since the arcane hierophant has an animal companion wich is also his familiar, does the feat give it bonusses on both sides?
Do spells cast from a scroll and wand also apply to the Share Spells ability? And i think effects from magic items dont apply?
Looking for tips/suggestions/experiences etc
Thanks
