Spells: The druid's caster level is equal to her class level. The druid's number of spells per day does not increase after 20th level.
Animal Companion: The epic druid's animal companion continues to increase in power. At every three levels higher than 18th (21st, 24th, 27th, and so on), the companion gains +2 bonus Hit Dice, its natural armor increases by 2, its Strength and Dexterity modifiers increase by 1, and it learns one additional bonus trick.
Wild Shape (Su): The druid can use this ability to take the form of an animal one additional time per day every four levels higher than 18th (7/day at 22nd, 8/day at 26th, and so on). The druid's ability to wild shape into an elemental does not improve.
Bonus Feats: The epic druid gains a bonus feat every four levels higher than 20th.
