OOC Sword of Valor, Wrath of the Righteous AP by MLeibrock and Scotley

Terry Pratchett May decry pledgerism from the Shannarah Chronicles.

Okay, first of all, Terry Pratchett wouldn't care anything about it, because he wrote different books: The Colour of Magic, Wyrd Sisters, Discworld, etc. You're thinking of Terry Brooks. Secondly, it's not plagiarism to be inspired by an author's works and create a new character based on existing one. Truthfully, I hadn't even considered Allanon when I thought about this character. I did read Sword of Shannara again last year, but my character would be very different from Allanon.

My wouldn't I have reincarnate druid without animal companion in another game. 200 years old dwarf with a stuff, deep cowl and an attitude

 

[MetaVoid]

Your druid can have Neurotics kobold as a companion There is some kind of dragon druid archetype

 

[Scotley]

Ok, Scotley, I looked at the RG to refresh my memory somewhat. I guess I can probably find everything I need to make a Druid there and in the old Recruiting thread. Actually, my old character could be made very playable with some minor changes, but I don't know, I think I'd still rather try-out the Druid, although a druid seems just about as out-of-place in this game as a sorcerer. I was thinking about a druid whose defense of nature makes him seek out and destroy aberrations and monsters from the lower planes. I don't have a lot of specific plans or ideas yet, but I'm willing to consider suggestions, but I may not follow them all, or, heck, any of them.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with. A Druid could be useful.

For an animal companion, I would like an earth elemental, if that's possible. I was thinking that this would be emblematic of my druid's connection with the earth (Gaia) and his commitment to maintaining the purity of the earth against the demon hordes issuing forth from the worldwound. He also hopes to find a way to heal or repair the wardstone.

If I understand the story correctly, wardstone was destroyed and we are now the wards. You might need to build a new one. With heroes sacrificing themselves or at least their mythic power to build one. You could take that non-mythic option for extra 'mundane' power in mythic campaign. I cannot recall right now what it was, but I remember looking at it when I was making the character

There is an archetype with four elemental eidolons (these are summoner pets, but not really ) - first of all, you get four of them, but with predefined evolutions..and second, it fits your description.

An elemental ally is a druid who has crafted powerful bonds of trust and friendship with one ally from each of the four primary elemental planes. Elemental allies are similar to genie-binders

Best part is, it replaces only wild empathy and natures lure.

Metavoid and Neurotic have some cool ideas here. What's the ruling from our Friendly Neighborhood DM???

I will say that I was leaning toward my druid having a preference for earth elementals.

I expect most of the archetypes recommended by others could be acceptable if you want to go that route.

If you really just want to play a druid with an earth focus and an earth elemental companion I'll offer you two simple options.

First pick a standard animal companion and add the Elemental Companion Archetype (Earth). I'd recommend an animal with a burrowing speed such as a badger or giant mole. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/cor...emental-companion-animal-companion-archetype/

Or I'll actually let you just take a small earth elemental as a companion.
