Wild Shape, etc... which gear transfers??

[vale100]

Hey everyone!

1.) Can someone help me out with information regarding which equipment items transfer over into a druids shifted form?

2.) Why SF Conjuration could be useful? I found an old BGTSCC Druid build where the person took SF and GSF Conjuration, but didn't invest into Epic SF Conjuration? Does that make any sense? ...and is that line even worth taking to begin with?

3.) Are there any other tips (RP, build, etc.) that might be helpful in making the most of my druid?

I appreciate it!

Thank you ZabelSword! I appreciate that link...

So ability stats from any items (except weapons) do convert over apparently... i.e. a strength ring, constitution boots, dex bracers, etc. are all acceptable? I remember in NWN1 only certain boosts on specific armor pieces counted, so this is good.

Still looking for any other info on the Spell Focus question and whatever else might be helpful in making the most of my druid.

Thanks!

2) Conjuration contains some of the druid's best spells (Storm of Vengeance, Swamplung, Stonehold, Drown, Mass Drown, etc). These are spells one will more than likely use very often, and it pays to have their DCs as high as possible, given their rather devastating effects. It likely didn't have the epic focus, because it took other feats (you want your wisdom to be even. Taking 2 wisdom is better than 1 epic focus, wisdom grants spellslots AND the DC after all)

3) Go 30 druid. Maximize wisdom and DCs (Spellcasting prodigy, skill focuses, etc). Natural Spell is a must as well. Improved Combat Expertise doesn't hurt. Metamagics, other than extend spell, aren't really needed but can be useful. You can't go wrong (unless you pick terrible spells, but you don't need to RCR for that! ).

Ha! Alright! I get it now metaquad4 I think the only thing I would have done different so far is taken natural spell at level 12. I didn't like shape shifting during the initial levels - but Treant is quite nice and being able to heal up, without shifting back and forth would be very useful. I'll especially look forward to that at 15 now. Thanks also for those 'most useful' spells! I don't usually play casters and haven't been on NWN2 in years to know which are the good ones

Thanks again!

Silly me, I forgot natural spell in my list of feats. Added it! Always happy to help Glad to hear you are enjoying it!
