animal empathy, right that is powerful, yet its not only druid power, anyone can have it via multiclass
if there is most content pre-max lvl then its less likely this to be used from multiclass indeed (EDIT: but also have to take into consideration XP drop, mostly if there is a XP loss from lured animals, player are avoiding this unless they are not able to survive without), if majority of content is post-max lvl then it doesnt matter, cleric can have it too via ranger which is great benefit for caster-type of cleric, also i dont know your loot, im used to find items such as ring of animal friendship +12 (x2), gloves of (greater +6/epic +30) animal empathy which will do the trick even without too much rank in there and there is one spell druid has for this also think +8bonus
the main problem of animal emnpathy (from builders perspective) is that the DC is quite low, 15+HD and player can take 20 + skill + mod charisma as the HD usually matches players level (could be greater but then we, builders would have to use various scripts to balance the creature down as more HD can add extra attacks, saves, hps etc.)
also, mostly the player is using this outside of combat thus taking full 20, you know if you are currently not in combat and some hostile animal is reaching you, and you use animal empathy the roll is done earlier than the animal comes close enough to attack so its considered as out of combat
special bonuses for specialization: the bonus to caster level or DC can be easily done without nwnx, either by core function hooking or via my community patch new spell engine and CL/DC override feature, also even more slots would be easy to do via creature skin (but would be pain as these slots would be lost when polymorphed)
i made a function to determine whether is wizard necromancer without nwnx, yet this function isnt global, in order to make this function to determine correct specialization, no school must have shared opposite school, aka the function is able to determine wheter you can or cannot use the scroll of certain spell school - but its lost somewhere in these forums i guess
