    Default Fix for 3.5 druid?

    Could someone help me balance this spell-less druid variant I'm making for a 3.5 game I'm running.

    Wildshape Ranger basically accomplishes the same thing.

    So, you got rid of casting, boosted wildshape progression and gave them bonus feats.

    Well, casting was arguably the strongest of druid's three pillars, but both of the other pillars (wildshape and animal companion) are plenty strong too. I think if you swapped Ranger companion progression and Druid companion progression it might work.

    Wildshape is strong, since it gives druid access to things not normally available for players, and removes attribute dependency.

    You listed 6 feats, and grant 7 bonus feats?
