My druid gonna die in a few sessions...

[joefro]

I have a druid I have been playing since level 1 and our group hit level 6 this session. Been drooling over level 6 ever since we started cause I'm playing a melee focus druid. I realized level 6 would be beastly since the get go, but after our first combat I think my GM already wants to kill my PC.

Just the power at these levels is silly, I found myself pouncing at +19 on 3 attacks as dire tiger. +4 BAB, +6 for STR, +2 charge, +2 flanking, +2 for our bard buff, and just 1 round of buffs. I cast GMF for +2 and the pally cast bless for a final +1.

Of course +19 at level 6 leaves me hitting just about everything. I just give my companion and pally a round to get dirty then I hop in and mop up everything. It's just gross. Next level I'll pick up heavy armor prof so I'll also have the best AC in group. Been pinching pennies and saving everything for wild armor. Before rolling 4d4 and 4d6 for all hits plus rhino hide I had an auto 33 damage. And grab attacks...

Makes me wish I wasn't a fool and took the Aug. Summoning chain and had power attack instead...

Yeah, that is good, but not that different then what a raging barbarian or smiting paladin could do. I imagine that you have a pretty bad AC, and then there are other limits of wildshaping - no speech, no access to items, etc.

Wild armor is going to be a minimum of about 17,000gp and not something you should be able to attain until about 9th level. If your GM is going above suggest wealth and/or playing with a high point buy, they should be prepared to adjust things.

Finally augment summons is amazing, although power attack is no joke!

My advice would be to wildshape into something more stable, and save the pouncing death stuff for an emergency.
