Actually, it does give a very weird sort of support for Battleminds.
Unlocking the use of weapon powers in Dire Beast Form at level 10 gives you the ability to combine that with the level 16 feature of Coiled Serpent (Wisdom based for your pleasure) - each hit with a melee attack while in Dire Beast Form deals 2d6 extra poison damage, helping you to add up to 8d6 Poison damage on an AUG1 Brutal Barrage.
Throw in the Werebear At-Will marking MBA and you've got something rather interesting to consider.

I feel a build coming up!
EDIT: this theme also opens up Blood Moon Stalker for everyone who multiclasses Druid.

@Duelist: Add to that claw gloves since you are in beast form and if you have CA, very easy to get, you get another 1d10 damage since Brutal Barrage is a melee attack. Now it will be a melee attack with the weapon keyword and if you have CA then you also have a damage roll.

There are plenty of ways to give Brutal Barrage a damage roll (MKJ beinghead the easiest off the top of my head) but we don't play that that allows them to add their mods, because otherwise it breaks the game.

..."window.parent.tinyMCE.get('post_content').onLoad.dispatch();" contenteditable="true" />Imagine a storm sorcerer who uses a resounding dagger(+2/3/4 thunder damage, +1 forced movement) with savage rend and uses a lightning power. Use an action point, deal dex damage, then use savage rend to deal damage and slide him adjacent to you dealing 2d6+dex+mods per square.
Not an arcane power, so that's useless compared to other options.

Too bad that, with the possible exception of the level 10 utility, the most iconic lycanthrope of the bunch (the werewolf) is also by far the worst one.

Stuff I Heard Mike Say (subject to change): Multiclassing will be different than in 3.5! That's important.
There is no level cap; classes advance ala 3.5 epic levels after a set level.
Mundane (AKA fighter and co) encounter and daily powers will probably not be in the PHB (for the lack of space), but nor will they be in some obscure book released halfway through the edition. You can't please everyone, but you can please me. I DO NOT WANT A FREAKING 4E REPEAT. I DO NOT WANT A MODULE THAT MIMICS MY FAVORITE EDITION. I WANT MODULES THAT MIMIC A PLAYSTYLE AND CAN BE INTERCHANGED TO COMPLETELY CHANGE THE FEEL, BUT NOT THE THEME, OF D&D. A perfect example would be an espionage module, or desert survival. A BAD EXAMPLE IS HEALING SURGES. WE HAVE 4E FOR THOSE! A good example is a way to combine a mundane and self healing module, a high-survival-rate module, and a separate pool of healing resource module.

Just noticed that this theme gives Brawler Fighters who MC Druid access to Brutal Grappler Form for perma-CA against grabbed enemies. This theme really enables a lot of awesome stuff. EDIT: and Constrictor's Grasp to deal CON- or DEX-mod damage if they fail an escape attempt. Stacks nicely with Ebon Gauntlets and Crushing Pin. If only there was an Inescapable Hold-variant for Reflex

It is also amazing for hybrid Druids who now have access to both their regular powers and beast form powers at the same time.

Commanding Form for Summoner types - free minor action commands.
Constrictor's Grasp - Dex or Con damage when things fail to escape grabs
Enraged Boar Form - +1 to attack/+2 damage with charge attacks
Ferocious Tiger Form - +2 damage with CA
These all need MC into Druid, but...
