:smallamused: You have Natural Spell as your 6th level feat, you've made druidzilla already, but for that extra push take Quicken Spell, nothing says you need to be able to use it when you take it. :smallwink:

How to make Druidzilla

Step 1: Write "Druid" on your character sheet.
Step 2: Take Natural Spell
Step 3: Profit

There is no ???. You already won.

Why do you have 1 Commoner level? I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question (I'm assuming it's connected to the Pathfinder game you're playing, but I'm not familiar with how that works). Also, why does your class rprogression only go up to level 16?

we list commoner as being Level 0; before he becomes an Adventurer. Its merely a placeholder. :smalltongue:

I go to level 16 because I don't have any plans yet beyond 16. :smallcool:

Thanks for the explanation. i'd agree with everyone else who said that you've already achieved your aims (is the DM okay with this build? I thought I'd ask due to there being a chance that it would turn out to be too powerful). I would swap Int and Cha around if I'm honest, though (unless you took high Cha for RPing reasons, or you really want to maximise your Wild Empathy abilities success rate).

Lion of Talsid gives pounce, yeah?
A very nice spell to cast on yourself would be one of the Bite of spells, from SpC. Don't really need magic stat boosters with those =)

Actually, with those spells, you could get away with VoP, and not really gimp yourself.

If you move Improved Bull Rush from 1st to 3rd, you can take Sacred Vow and Vow of Poverty at 1st, and use the bonus exalted feat at that level for Favored of the Companions. Why do this?

1) You're missing a 1st level feat anyway; this would cover that (of course, it would also require you to find eight other exalted feats for 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, and 16th level.... but ignoring that....)
2) As you're playing a Druid, you'll have spells to cover the stuff that the Vow of Poverty doesn't give you... assuming, of course, that you can convince your DM that a Druid's Divine Focus (holly and mistle, price of -) doesn't break your vow (which shouldn't be hard, but technically, it does break your Vow).
3) All Vow of Poverty buffs apply in Wild Shape - there's no need to worry about what does and does not merge.
4) You're taking an Exalted feat anyway - you might at well go whole-hog.

I notice you don't have a race listed - is there a reason for that? If you're undecided, I might suggest dwarf from a power perspective - you get +2 to 80% of the saves you'll make in a day (spell-like and poisons), +2 Con, and Darkvision (which, with the Wildshape errata, applies in all forms - as does the +2 to saves).

Oh, and a one-level dip in Monk wouldn't hurt your character - Wis to AC when you're not going to be wearing much, if any, armor anyway is fairly tasty for a wisdom-based caster.

If going VoP, take Nymph's Kiss first level and push FoC back to second, for the better skillpoints.

True, it's not like you'll be short exalted feats if you take the VoP at 1st... unless you're talking about "short of exalted feats that you actually qualify to take."

the only reason FoC is in there is for Lion of Talisid (prerequisite). VoP was a thought, but I have already done 2 VoP characters with the group I am in.

thanks again for the help, that did give me somethings to think abouts! :)
