Intent of this optional features

Circle of the Moon Druids are really cool and have
a great flavor, that's why it is without surprise one
of the favorite subclasses of the D&D players.
However, even if the subclass is really fun to play, it
has some major flaws that can get frustrating at
times.
First, it starts a bit too strong in early levels,
eclipsing the rest of the party; but then quickly
become weaker in mid to high levels. Moreover, at
each level you only get one unique shape that is
superior to any other, so you end up always
transforming into the same beast over and over
again.
The Optional Features suggested here are meant
to widen the pool of the possible beasts you can
wildshape into at each level, while providing stats
that scale with your druid level for a smoother
power progression.
