A Druid and his Triceratops Build


Advice

Silver Crusade

The build is to wildshape into a Triceratops and to have a Triceratops animal companion. With everything that is out now, I felt a little overwhelmed with how to build this. Here's what I think I know...

6 levels Saurian Shaman Druid.
Levels in Hunter?
Levels in Cavalier?

I know the feat Shaping Focus should be in there.
How best do I increase my own damage?
How best do I increase Tubby's damage?
How do I work in Teamwork feats?

Thanks for your help!! (Assume this is for a PFS character!!)


Goliath druid instead of saurian shaman is worth considering. I like it more, anyway.

I was struggling with whether to go saurian shaman or goliath, both are beautiful and powerful but in the end, standard action spontanuíous summons (with Templates even!) is where its at not to mention that you get access to being a triceratops earlier.

also just stick it out as a druid. From levels 6-20(million) being a full caster will always be more powerful and wonderful.

So true, London, but taking Shaping Focus at level 7 would let me take 4 levels of something Martial to really pump the damage. Hhmm...

True, and shape shifting hunter can get you a lot of favored enemy bonuses. I am not entirely familiar with the builds and the mechanics of this, but the feat doesn't look like it needs more than a dip.


I think you are on the right track with the Saurian Druid.

Consider one level of Mammoth Rider in order to get a huge animal companion.

You could always go with the classic Barbarian/Druid Multiclass. Rage and Wildshape stat bonuses. Losing four levels of caster progression on the druid hurts quite a bit though. Honestly just going Saurian Shaman all the way is far and away from being a bad option.
