Hello Giants!

I am in need of assistance building a level 7 wild shaping druid. I was going to go Tiefling, but any race is ok. The premise is that I want to wildshape into a form my barbarian pal can ride into battle and then we tag team opponents! He has some levels in swordsage and has the island of blades stance so we will always be flanking.

All material is ok. I do want to stay away from Book of Exalted Deeds though.

Stats are as follows: 18, 16, 18, 12, 10, 14

I'm clueless when it comes to druids and hence need the help of this great forum!

So, starting question, what size is your Barbarian friend?

My absolute favorite wild shape character is this build:

Arctic Dragonborn Human
Totem Druid (DR#335 p.87) 1
Master of Many Forms 10
Nature's Warrior 5
Totem Druid 2-5

Feats:
1: Alertness
Human: Endurance
If you get flaws
1: Extra Wild Shape
1: Education
3: Knowledge Devotion
6: Multiattack
9: Extra Wild Shape
12: Extra Wild Shape
15: Extra Wild Shape
18: Extra Wild Shape

Level 8 is the sweetspot for this build you get access to special qualities of the monsters you wildshape to!
So you have something to look forward to, you even get to talk wild shaped since you get that from MoMF

Seems pretty cool, ty! I'll have to look up totem druid and master of many forms and nature's warrior. I am not familiar with any of those lol.

What was it? Reaper Druid? The ones that can turn undead?

1) Extend Spell
3) Persistent Spell
6) Natural Spell
9) Frozen Wildshape
12)
15) DMM: Persist
18)
Persist bite of the werebear or something... Become Hydra. Cast Enhance Wildshape for Fast Healing. Cast Superior Magic Fang. Murder. It works pretty much the same at lower levels.

No BoED sucks, since Exalted Companion is great for giving VoP to your AnC. No Luminous Armor is awful, too.

Doesn't technically work, unless I missed something. You don't have Wild Shape to qualify for either of the prestige classes or several of the feats.

yes it does technically work. I have all the feats nessecary Endurance+Alertness.
Totem Shape functions just like wild shape, most GM's would allow you to use it to prereq.
I havent had any problems with the builds with my GM's.
