[QUOTE="Kinematics, post: 8960294, member: 6932123"] Had a couple ideas for the plant template. Reach: Your reach is 10'. This increases by 5' at druid levels 5, 10, 15, and 20. (Will end up with a 30' reach at level 20. This balances against their low move speed.) Augments: [list] [*]Overgrowth: You may use an action to designate the area within your reach as difficult terrain, as long as you do not move. [*]Spores: You may use an action to release spores within your reach. Creatures within your reach must make a Con save or be [poisoned or slept; possibly other conditions] until the end of your next turn. [/list] Grapple is already in the augment list. The perception advantage seemed pretty basic, but yeah, blindsense is a bit more advanced. Maybe require a minimum level to take the blindsense option? Interesting idea. Yeah. Ah, true. That's annoying. I also used Proficiency Bonus as the basis for HP (though that might change anyway, if it's temp HP per turn). It seems like the perfect scaling mechanism, until multiclassing comes into the picture. I suppose it could just be spelled out: 2 primal points, plus 1 point after every 4 additional druid levels (so level 5, 9, 13, and 17). Or +1 at every 4 levels: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, giving a total of 7 at level 20. Hmm. So get rid of the Mount template, and just change "Predator" to "Beast"? It fits well with Elemental and Plant as alternate options. Keep Tiny because of more specialized mechanics for it. The Mount augment would grant additional move speed, the ability to act as a combat mount, increased carry capacity... Anything else? Probably places restrictions on certain other augments. Hm. This would be more restrictive on the number of forms you could choose, but you could use the augmented form as often as you like each day, rather than having to rebuild it each time. I'll need to give it some thought. [/QUOTE]
