Message: <blockquote data-quote="Visigani" data-source="post: 5606682" data-attributes="member: 6676235">For those unfamiliar with unearthed arcana there exists a rather interesting Druidic Variant...DruidThe druid might choose to give up her wild shape ability in exchange for becoming a swift and deadly hunter.GainBonus to Armor Class when unarmored (as monk, including Wisdom bonus to AC), fast movement (as monk), favored enemy (as ranger), swift tracker (as ranger), Track feat (as ranger).LoseArmor and shield proficiency, wild shape (all versions).Then there's the Arcane Hierophant...I can't SRD it for you but the jist is this:Full Druidic/Arcane spellcasting per levelAH levels stack for Druids WildshapeChannel Touch Spells through plants and animals twice per dayAverage BAB, d6 hp, good will.Lose Familiar, Animal Companion gains the abilities of your familiar (including various bonuses), and arcane levels stack for your animal companion.May cast arcane spells in druidic armor.However, as crafted the Arcane Hierphant is far more "druidy" and less "arcaney".The Challenge: Develop an Arcane Hierophant Variant that is more "arcaney" and less "druidy" and better gels with the above druid variant.A few things...First, I'd like to lose the channel via plant and animal (as these abilities just feel awkward)... and I'd like to replace the wildshape progression with something useful that also improves with potency as you level... and if not as powerful as wild shape, at least reasonably potent.Finally, casting arcane spells while in light and medium armor is a rather useful skill. Can you replace it with something as potent... but more suited to a spellcaster that gains bonus AC from wisdom?</blockquote>
