We're normally pretty careful to not come up with something unless it fits intot he system well.However, the 9th level slot for spontaneous casting is mainly for the arcane user or cleric rather than the druid - the ability would be redundant and costly.Spontaneous casting - turning a prepared spell into a generic spell of a certain level - is in my mind pretty powerful in terms of the options it gives you if you are an arcane caster. If you are a cleric, the ability to spontaneously cast two types of spells is very very powerful and thus the reason why I thought a 9th level slot had to go in payment. Besides which, I do not think any of the other abilities were powerful enough to warrant a 9th level slot and there should be one of this power. Maybe it could go down to an 8th level slot if I could come up with an ability (high summoning) that fitted this 9th level slot power. Anyway, thanks for reading my prestige class, I really appreciate that you took the time to read it.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Hi Sigurd,This is an interesting idea. It's almost like a summoner's cohort or golem. It might be good to flesh this out a little more to understand precisely how it would work.I thought of introducing some more binding related abilities but thought this more the province of the Thaumaturgist. In fact your idea is very similar to the Planar Cohort ability of the Thaumaturgist. Let me find it from the SRD:Planar Cohort: A 5th-level thaumaturgist can use any of the planar ally spells to call a creature to act as his cohort. The called creature serves loyally and well as long as the thaumaturgist continues to advance a cause important to the creature. To call a planar cohort, the thaumaturgist must cast the relevant spell, paying the XP costs normally. It takes an offering of 1,000 gp x the HD of the creature to convince it to serve as a planar cohort, and the improved ally class feature can’t be used to reduce or eliminate this cost. The planar cohort can’t have more Hit Dice than the thaumaturgist has, and must have an ECL no higher than the thaumaturgist’s character level –2.A thaumaturgist can have only one planar cohort at a time, but he can continue to make agreements with other called creatures normally. A planar cohort replaces a thaumaturgist’s existing cohort, if he has one by virtue of the Leadership feat.This would be quite interesting and suitable in fact.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
