No armor until can afford wild armor that stays with you after shape change. Great Club with Shillelagh and Spikes... Character will become the party's "reliably can hit and deal damage against one target" character. I'd concentrate on keeping the to-hit bonus maximized. I strongly recommend power attack, since the system almost makes it necessary to deal damage properly when trying to overcome DR. DR/magic is going to be a killer in this campaign. --Mqs 20:51, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

And before I hear, "but that's Belos...", it is now. But Belos is eventually going to be more of a battlefield control character, or that's the hope. --Mqs 20:52, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
I'm considering giving him a level of Monk for Unarmed Strike plus Intuitive Attack feat (+wis on attacks) as well as for the +wis to AC.
I do not feel that would be a good choice. That's force his alignment to be LN, for one thing -- which kind of conflicts with druidic avenger's CN (CN's not a prerequisite, but strongly hinted at). Plus, improved unarmed strike is not terribly useful unless you'd keep with it for the increased damage dice. The wisdom bonuses elsewhere would help, but a feat vs armor for the same AC bonus? Shapeshifter forms have ever escalating level requirements. Do you really want to delay them? Remember that this druid will require physical stats and can't just put everything into wisdom -- the shapechange varient only gives bonuses; it doesn't replace the physical ability scores with those of the animal. Improved Unarmed would also be immediately replaced by the bite attack. --Mqs 21:05, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
