Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game is officially licensed, so I think it's fair that I point out, among amusing things, Mirror Spell. Sure, it has two horrible feats as prerequisites, but you need one of them (Iron Will) for things like Incantatrix anyway, so there's at least a chance it won't be completely wasted. But Mirror Spell itself: it's a metamagic that lets you cast a spell twice. "Oh, like Twin Spell? Or Repeat Spell? Or Split Ray?" Not exactly. See, while all of those work similarly, and Twin Spell is essentially the same effect, they all raise the spell slot of the spell. Which is to say that Mirror Spell doesn't. Instead you spend a second spell slot on the spell as if you cast it twice. Now have fun with Quickened Mirror spells. Or Quickened Mirror Arcane Fusion; or really whatever.

It's fancy, but I don't think that's optimal. If something has 2000-4000 hp, why would you even consider going up to melee (or even relatively close non-melee) with it? If it doesn't, why are you breaking out the sledgehammer to drive a thumb tack?
On another point, it looks to me like a lot of these builds, while awesome and multipurpose, are not really druid centric. Psychic Theurge and Beholder Mage are incredible, but the objective here is to construct a sort of Druid "Gold Standard" so focusing heavily on nondruid classes seems off the mark.
It's really hard to improve on the druid 20 chassis, because most prestiges aren't worth losing wild shape/animal companion progression for, and most of the ones that are worth it are flat-out broken.
No, they apply to all of them... The writer of the Grey Guard pretended it wasn't a PaladinI believe you can tweak your build a bit and get your vow feats provided as a class feature, and then use grayguard to ignore the code of conduct.
Unless I gravely misremember, Grey Guards loosened code applies only to the Code of Conduct Paladins adhere to, and won't impact feats.fixonly PrC and, therefore, wrote it loosely enough to potentially let in the loosening of Vow-related requirements.

Hey wait ... Sigma Jargon's Old H.I.V.E. can be done with Druid.
Druid 10 / Vermin Lord 10 , act intrigued.
The Summon Elemental reserve feat does not benefit from any of your other feats. It is not a Conjuration (Summoning) spell.
I didn't use Shadowlord.
Soul Eater is fantastic vs Casters, assuming you can tolerate being a non-humanoid and evil. Full BAB, All Good Saves, and Energy Drain at the first level. Stacked with Shadowlord it is possible to blink in, deliver about 4 negative levels (8 at Soul Eater 10). This gives you stat bonuses, a ranged negative energy attack, and assuming you have Spell Drain...their spells. Conversely it puts them at approximately -4 to attacks, saves, and skills, and down about 8 to 16 spells.Killoren Ranger 2/Warblade X/Soul Eater X (Warblade until you can afford a graft to get a natural weapon, preferably a bite attack, then you can shift your existing Weapon Focus over to it and go straight into Soul Eater, take it as long as you like, and then finish out with whatever).
For teleportation, pick up Shadow Jaunt (move action version) with a Shadow Hand item from ToB. You can recover it normally with your Warblade recovery mechanic. Dual-wield Necrotic Focus weapons and follow up with your Bite attack.
Well, as a power gamer how would you get mileage from the venerable kobold druid (swift hunter+ forest avenger ACFs)19/ blighter 1

What level are you aiming for? Because once Shapechange becomes readily available, the ability to play a bad druid becomes even harder.
Can some base rules be established so it's not entirely silly? Like, "32 point buy, and you have to spend it all." And, "You still have to roleplay AS a druid, no purposely crippling yourself by just wearing metal armor, cutting down rainforests to build cities, or other stupid crap you're blatantly doing just to screw the character out of his class features." Any character can light themselves on fire and die in the first session if your goal is to just be as worthless as possible without any boundaries...
