Retraining a PFS Ranger to a Druid


Advice


When I started out my 2nd PFS character it was a Druid, but by 2nd level I decided I would try a Ranger. Well, I didn't really have a roleplay hook for it and it's fallen well behind. So, I'm retraining it to be a Druid again.

Human
Stats
Str 18 Dex 14 Con 12 Int 10 Wis 13 Cha 10

These can't change.
Feats: 1st - Power Attack (Human Bonus), Quick Draw

He's at 3rd level, so he's taking one Druid level and then retraining the rest. I get a feat for 3rd, and then it will take me until the end of 4th level to retrain any other feats: Quickdraw. Currently I'm thinking of Improved Initiative as my 3rd level feat.

I'm looking at the Bear Shaman (Ferocity Sub of Strength) to augment my spellcasting and because I like bears [and hate cats]. Unfortunately the lack of WIS means my original Spellcaster idea is moot.

Flavor stuff not likely to change: 60 year old human hunter worshiper of Pharasma and hates undead.

Story to go with retraining: While calling my animal companion as a part of my druidic initiations I was assaulted by a Bear. We fought and I ended up slaying it. I had his pelt turned into a cloak and use it to perform my magics; transforming part way into a bear, casting my domain spells, etc.

It could also be a Wolf Shaman with the Liberation domain. (Entangle spell + freedom of movement like effects -> Happy good times?) I wouldn't get the same attacks. Was thinking of going for TWF and using bite with a Sheleighleigh (sp?) quarterstaff, but that wouldn't hit until level 5 and I couldn't use my level ability bump for Wis.

Of course, if anyone has any other mechanical ideas I'd like to hear 'em. Won't be taking an animal companion.

The Exchange

If you've yet to play the character, simply change it. As long as you've yet to play him at second level then he falls into the retraining rules presented in Pathfinder society.

He cant have Power Attack at L1 as he still has BAB0 at that point. Ranger yes, Druid no. By L3 its ok, so he'd have to take QD at L1.
