I have been inspired to buy the 3rd Edition 'Masters of the Wild' Druids, Ranger & Barbarians supplement so if I get any insights I'll let you know (and if I start speculating about playing PnP again you'll know I'm a lost cause
)
Playing Neutral is to vague/hard I think unless I make lots of (convenient) assumption about the state of the world to justify any action - for example at the moment I'd probably be claiming something like "the whole Sword Coast is overrun with evil so my ( ~Chaotic Good?) actions are justified") - so I won't worry about that just now.
On the animal thing I won't worry too much about killing hostile Winter Wolves anymore (they also seem a bit on the magical/monstrous side with the breath attack) but I will resist the temptation of saving / sleeping / revisiting areas to try to spawn lots of them to make money/XP - something that had crossed my mind . . . . .
Similarly there seems to be loads of normal wolves around so I'm not too worried there.
I think I'll try to charm Bears and move them out of range.
