You have to take a feat (from UC, can't remember name right now) but effectively you end up with full favored enemy and terrain on top of all the normal druid goodies.I haven't looked at multi-classing at all. It's on my list of things to do, but probably not in the next update. I've found that just dealing with the single class druid is a bigger job than I thought, so this might have to wait for a bit. But you are certainly correct, there are a number of dips and multi-class options that deserve a look.
Thank you for your input.
I'm not seeing Favored Enemy as something to dip for, unless you are in a campaign where you will regularly only face one type of monster. And even then, I'm still not convinced.
Some dips I could see, kinda-maybe
Monk: Wisdom to AC, Improved Grapple feat (and it's prereq)
Cleric: 2 domains. Can give you, for example, +1 to saves and +10 ft move. Need to find appropriate god for this though.
Wizard: Pre-roll a dice 3/day (divination school). Familiar.
If you are a caster druid, then you shouldn't dip for any of these. Ever. No, not even then. These are still kinda iffy for a wildshape druid, since they are delaying access to their wildshape forms and buff spells, and hindering their animal companions. So, if you look at the above and say "yeah, that's worth losing out on this stuff for", then sure. Go for it. Otherwise, stick to druid.
For caster druids, I could see a prestige class that advances casting still, but it would have to be after you have access to a good wildshape form. And your animal companion takes a hit if you do, assuming you have one.
