I really appreciate the insight. This is as I said my first experience with magic and I am really starting to appreciate the power behind it. With all of this it's a lot easier to see how these feats help!

Craft Wand - I would like to keep this. It let's me move some heal spells around.
Eschew Materials
Mobility
Dodge

The last two I am up for changing if I can get a good idea as to what for and why.

As you see, post one so thanks for making this easy for me. I'll be happy to give as much as I can.

Let me first throw my parties info out there.

The Ranger well rounded, it is her first time playing as well but she has honed the multi-shot and she is making it work well. Not to mention her general knowledge is just dead useful.

Next we have the barb. Our human tank. Think "Ug Smash" and you have it in the right place.

Then to round it all up we have a frighteningly evil rogue, he seems to be enjoying sneak attack from the distance, and is quite useful when stopping the beasties in their tracks.

As for me, I am currently playing the Druid Elf.
STR: 10
DEX: 14
CON: 16
INT: 12
WIS: 18
CHA: 14

So basically I stand in the back, I heal and I am the best my party has at Diplomacy. I don't believe I mentioned in the earlier post but at our DM's request we need to keep this CORE.

Level nine at the moment, and my DM let me splurge a ton of gold on a belt that gave me a bonus to Str, Dex and Con. I am also wearing the Wild Armor that let's me take its +3 AC with me when I shape.

Oh, and I have a bear, and he is nice and big. He likes fish.

So I have played RPG games for close to 13 years now, and spellcasting has always been a turn off for me. So here I am now with a party in need of a healer and I really need some help.

I'm torn between wildshape and summoning as both have significant advantages, but I need a way to dumb it down. I fully understand you all aren't able to prepare me for every situation but I'm really in need of help with what I can summon.

I am basically looking for opinions. Did you go with wildshape and if so, what type of things did you find most resourceful? Same with summons!

I'm the party healer, with a 10 to strength. So if I go big, I need to go big!

I appreciate anything you all can give me, and if you have suggestions to make this easier I'll take it!
