I was looking at the Green Faith Acolyte prestige class from Paths of Prestige, and was wondering if it was any good.
It's an easy class for a druid to join, and allows a druid to keep improving some of their existing class feature like wild shape and their animal companion which would normally stagnate when taking a prestige class (or gain druid class features if they entered Green Faith Acolyte from a different base class like oracle or shaman, or took a druid archetype that dramatically alters the class like Nature Fang), plus it's full caster progression, which is always a solid if your class casts spells of ANY kind. I also like how it's kind of a nod to the hierarchical progression the druids of AD&D had. But I'm wondering if it might be more efficient to just continue in the base druid class. I know it would DEFINITELY be more expedient if I was interested in wild shape, but as it stands, I was leaning more towards Nature Fang, and if I combine it with Green Faith Acolyte it essentially allows me to replace a number of druid class features Nature Fang discards, letting me have my cake and eat it too...
What do you folks think, in your optimizing wisdom?
