Reasoning. I want to be able to exetremely easily to tame animals and handle animals and ride animals very easily and using charm power should help me do this over anything.

You will not be able to cast any spells with 10 wisdom.

i know but i be able to tame an army of animals like every creature in any plain or forest who needs spells if i have packs of wolves and bears right?

[Ipslore the Red]

I suspect you will get an opportunity to learn the answer very quickly.

[Arcturus24]

I strongly advise against this plan. At higher levels, this becomes unplayable. The strongest non-aquatic animal I could find was the diplodocus, at around CR 10. Your bears and wolves won't be able to stand against any villain worth his villain-y-ness. That said, there is a way you could make something like this work: the packlord archetype. That one lets you divide your druid level over multiple companions. Then, you can take the feat boon companion to increase one companion's level by four (maximum druid level, you can take it once for every companion). While not optimal, it's better that... This... And you can focus on other stats.

There are ways of raising your handle animal and wild empathy checks without putting everything into charisma.

Circlet of persuasion
Zotic fetish
human class bonus to druid
animalistic affliction trait.

Roll a commoner instead with animal ally and boon companion.

If you are going to build your character to not use class features, then you might as well not have them. At least this way everyone knows up front that you are going for gimmick build.

There are ways to do what you want and be effective, just not with that stat array.

[Gregory Connolly]

Or you could, like, you know, play the exact same stats but change your class to Oracle and take the Nature or Lunar mystery. That way you get the character you want, mostly, while everyone else gets a full strength team member.

[Broken Prince]

You are going to find this frustrating and unplayable in most games. You would be better off playing an Oracle, as Gregory suggests, or a Sylvan Sorcerer to get an animal companion and make use of that high charisma. You would quickly find that to keep none animal companion animals competitive you will need to go first large then huge, and since many adventures are indoors you would find yourself a charming waste of space.

[Varalash]

You should also look into the sheer amount of time it takes to train animals. You might not have enough time to go through all that, unless the rest of your party wants a lot of down time too.

No, druids cast off of Wis.

Oh sorry I just assumed OP knew that.

Tips for playing a druid: Read the whole class. Some classes you can skim, the druid is not one of them. It's one of the more complicated classes. It uses basically every rule in the game.
