First Post
Alright, I'm hesitant to put this out into the world, as I can already see the critizism now, but I've gotten many positive comments so far (one of which was, "If the PHBII druid sucks, I'm printing this off!), so I'm confident I did something right. xD
So far, I've only statted out powers till 2nd level, as I'm more concerned with getting the basics balanced before rushing and making powers for every level. So, let me know what you think!
Note: Please don't post this anywhere else. I'd like to keep my work all in place. Thanks.
Druid
Class Traits
Role: Hybrid
Power Source: Primal
Key Abilities: Wisdom, Dexterity, Strength
Armor Proficiencies: Cloth, Leather, Hide
Weapon Proficiencies: Simple Melee, Simple Ranged
Impliment: Fetish, Staff, Orb (Druids also gain their Impliment bonuses on attack and damage rolls when using Shapeshift power attacks)
EDIT: A fetish is a necklace, bracelet, or a small totem-like wooden object combined with or made of natural materials. A necklace made of bone/claws, a bracelet made of rare and colorful stones, or a wood carving of a mighty bear are all examples of fetishes.
Bonus to Defense: +1 Fortitude, +1 Will
Hit Points at 1st Level: 12 + Constitution
Hit Points per Level Gained: 5
Healing Surges per Day: 7 + Constitution modifier
Trained Skills: Nature. Choose three more from below:
Athletics (Str), Endurance (Con), Heal (Wis), Perception (Wis), and Religion (Int)
Class Features: Woodland Stride, Ritual Casting, Natural Focus, Nature Speech
Woodland Stride
You ignore difficult terrain if that terrain is the result of trees, underbrush, plants, or natural growth.
Ritual Casting
You gain the Ritual Caster feat as a bonus feat, allowing you to use magical rituals. You possess a ritual book, and it contains two rituals you have mastered: the Animal Messanger ritual and one other 1st-level ritual of your choice.
Natural Focus
As a druid, you connection to nature is unmatched but all druids choose whether they will focus their attention on animals, plants, or the elements (certain powers use the Animal, Plant, or Elements keywords). While you may freely choose between powers that contain all these keywords, when using a power of your focus, you gain the added bonus at the end of the power's description. You also gain a boon, based on your focus, below.
Animal: When an enemy dies within 10 squares of you, you gain a +1 bonus to your next attack and damage roll.
Plant: When an enemy dies within 10 squares of you, you gain your Wisdom modifier as temporary HP.
Element: When an enemy dies within 10 squares of you, choose cold, fire, or lightning. Your next attack gains +2 damage of that type.
Nature Speech
You know the secret language of plants and animals, allowing you to converse with them. Most animals and plants know very little about the trappings of civilization, as they are more focused on surviving and their direct surroundings then larger, more complex things. While animals may know a little about the surrounding areas, a plant will hardly ever know more than what is directly around them. While you may be able to speak to them, they do not know humanoid languages, more often than not cannot distinguish between different types of humanoids, see things in color or in the case of plants, see things at all.
