Druid hybrid questions

[Kenni]

I´m planning to give my lvl 25 Druid caster a TR or LR+5. Should be a Drunk hybrid with fighter Lvl for feats (15 druid/3 monk/2 fighter). A lot of questions came up studying the threads here.

1. The most important question is the dmg calculation. If i wear handwraps Lvl 25 in animal form i get now 2.0 (1d12/10). Whats the right calculation with 3 monk levels 1.5(1d6) centered and uncentered (wearing light armor f.e) ???

2. The TWF feat line. Do i need it fighting with handwraps and whats about fighting with two weapons???

3. Stances. Do Combat expertise and Druid stances or monk stances work together ???

4. The Bonus, if i open the details in inventory shows different numbers wearing handwraps, weapons or weapon/shield. Whats the calculaton for it??

I´m not sure, what at the end the final combination will be, just wanna be more offensive than my build is now. So open for any suggestions

I'm doing a druid monk currently, some observations:

1. I can't answer Q1 I'm not epic yet.

2: TWF does nothing. skip the whole line unless you're planning on finishing in the elemental form. I'm staying in wolf form so TWF does nothing.

3. I don't have CE, but I do have PA and that stacks with all my animal stances. Also I'm in wind stance which stacks with Reaving Roar, Nature's Warrior, and PA.

4. I'm not sure what you're asking. Everything I've seen, the wolf form overwrites everything. Your crit profile, damage, and type (slashing, pierce) to match with wolf form. (Case in point I have a light crossbow of disruption that I'm using at level 10 for undead. In human form it's useless, I have no bolts and it's slow. In wolf form it acts like handwraps of disruption, and I have 1d10/19-20 and much faster attack.)


I haven't made it to 18, but I'm soooo hoping my monk ToD rings will work in wolf form.

ok thx so far. my fourth question is about the bonus (think its attackbonus), if you open the details for weapons you have currently equipped.

The posters above me are giving you correct info.

Ignore this. You don't get penalized in animal form (at least pre U-16) so disregard non-proficiency penalty. It also shows the wrong damage/crit profile, I guarantee it. Wolf form has a unique damage and crit profile combination.

1d10 19-20/x4 plus sneak attack. ddowiki is wrong about x3. Go beat on the dummy and watch your burst damage in the log if you don't believe me, at least pre U-16. I haven't checked it since the patch.

IC:Bludgeon will change it to
1d10 17-20/x4 plus sneak attack.


I need to do another round of testing and see what (if anything) got nerfed. As of U-15 I guarantee it correct. I'll update this thread later tonight after I do a little testing.
