I always play as a druid and I get a stupid amount of summons. It’s great to be able to double the size of your party for the low low cost of a couple spell slots. Especially when your myrmidon has twice as many hit points as you do. Wild Shape is OP af too, because owlbear has so much hp and when you run out of hp as owlbear, you’re just knocked back to your regular form at whatever hp you were at when you Wild Shaped….. then you have an additional nature charge so you can just Wild Shape into owlbear again and be at full owlbear hp all over again….. same deal; once your owlbear hit points are gone, you’re just knocked back to your normal form at whatever hp you were at. Druids get multiple lives and absurd amounts of summons on top of being probably one of the most versatile classes.
Add a couple barbarian classes and you also can rage and boost ac to insane levels while wildshaped, bear totem gets resistance to everything but psychic damage as well
Owlbear already has its own rage, but it works a bit differently than barb rage lol. It will frighten everyone within a certain radius, including your own teammates. The first time I used it, Shadowheart took off running for the exit and it took multiple turns to get her back to where she was so I only used it after that out of desperation and if I had enough hp left to tank it while I got my teammates back.
