Campaign: Forgotten Realms "Play by Post" set in the "Shining South."
Relevant House Rules: 40 point buy, feats at odd levels instead of every three levels. NATURAL SPELL DISALLOWED. (I don't mind this, and I'm not going to argue it with the DM. I don't like the concept of the druid that spends all their time in animal form, anyway. I prefer wildshape to be situational.) Starting level 4. He is giving me Rich Burlew's "Fey Blood" druid feat for free, so i cast with Charisma instead of wisdom.
Character: Druid of Lurue (Mielikki's fey unicorn mount.)
Race: Lesser Aasimar. Neutral Good.
Ability Scores at 4: Str 8, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 14, Wis 12, Cha 21
Feats: Sacred Vow (Level 1), Vow of Poverty (Flaw taken for it), Nymph's Kiss (Level 1 exalted), Animal Friend (Level 2 exalted), Natural Bond (Level 3), Exalted Companion (Level 4 exalted)
Animal Companion: Unicorn. (6 hit dice, because Natural Bond eliminates the -3 penalty BoED gives this creature.) This is a really, really incredible land mount. Sure, it's not the absolute most deadly combatant (though it's not bad, by any means), but with 3*cure light wounds, 1*cure moderate wounds, and 1*neutralize poison, as well as a permanent "magic circle against evil" (which its rider would be inside)...it's a very solid companion.
Future plans: Extra Wildshape (yeah, I know, but I prefer wildshaping on the fly, in and out of form, so i'll need more uses of it), Initiate of Lurue (much like Initiate of Malar, but reflavored for the good Lurue). Lots of Fey Heritage feats from complete mage. Future free exalted feats: Exalted Wildshape, Touch of Golden Ice, Sanctified Natural Attack. VOP bonuses will apply when wildshaped. Possibly Vow of Chastity (Unicorn, after all), Stigmata and its prerequisites.
On VOP: The DM is concerned about a lack of rewards for me. I pointed out that i'll be donating my rewards ...and building a hell of a lot of goodwill at the church of Mielikki. Eventually, when the rest of the party has tomes/manuals, I'll need someone to cast wish on me, and a wealthy church that owes me a lot of favors might have access to this. He agreed this was reasonable.
Thoughts? Advice?
