I've settled on an avenger (and a no reloads game - oh dear). Suprisingly, I didn't lose any Str and Con when I imported.
I would disagree that clerics are better than druids. Pure druids can't make good frontliners, and can't turn undead, but their spells are certainly better as far as I'm concerned.
The fact a shapeshifters paws can be dispelled is not a disadvantage. With dispelled paws you can equip real weapons (str 25 staff of ram anyone?) - Casting dispel on your own shapeshifter would be cheesy beyond measure, but if it happens, why not make a virtue out of a necessity? It makes the werewolf useful even against real enemies (because the paws are normal weapons, werewolves are only really good tanks against low level minions. Once you reach the boss, you have to change back and start casting spells).
