This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The wildshaper in my game usually goes with the biggest bear he can muster and proceeds to grapple the shit out of all of my monsters.  Drives me nuts.

Quote from: GraywolfWhether the rules allow for them or not.  I like some of the Dire Creatures of varying Hit Dice.
They dropped the "no Dire animals" limitation on wildshaping for druids in 3.5. As long as the animal is of the right size, and doesn't have too many HD, it's fair game.

Quote from: DackeThere's your problem, then. Druids are primarily spellcasters with a bit of fighting ability. If you spend most of your time in melee, of course you're going to feel useless next to the people who can actually fight.

I'm taking levels in nature warrior. This will help.

If I shape and then I put on magic items, will they still work?

Assuming the item is one that the animal can wear, sure. Personally, I'd be hesitant about allowing a rhino wearing rings, for example.

Gotta disagree with this. My Druid is pretty basic. 14 levels of Druid, and I just took my first level of War Shaper.

I'm usually wildshaped as a bear. I've always had my items meld, so I've never benefited from any magic items, other than my wild armor to help with the AC (which I needed, since I was constantly getting the hell beat out of me). My Druid/bear is far and away the best fighter of the bunch. And I really didn't have to try hard. A few buff spells is all it took. Combine that with the Power Attack and Multiattack feat, and a Druid wildshaped into a Dire Bear is a one-man wrecking machine. And that's without the spells. Throw those in with the Natural Spell feat and damn...

I used entangle on an actual battle map -- one of the few battles we used one for, actually.  The monsters got out of it so quickly that I felt like I wasted the spell slot.  Then the entangle area got in the rest of the characters' way and I KNEW I had wasted the slot.
