[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 7620743, member: 23484"] Halo of spores already does necrotic damage, doesn't it? I would leave it like that. The effect lasts ten minutes (100 turns); I really think using an action to activate it is fine -- most of the time, players will activate it before combat starts, so really you are talking about re-activating it, and surprise situations. I would not suggest this. Symbiotic entity adds necro damage to Circle of Spores on a reaction, and adds poison damage to a weapon on a hit. So: at level 11, save vs CON or 2d8 necrotic damage, plus damage from an action which can be an attack (let's say shillelagh 1d8+1d6 poison, using Wis as an attack stat, so Single Attribute Dependency), or 3d12 with poison spray (or 3d8 with thorn whip), or just cast a level 5 summon Elemental. Really, I don't think your melee druid will be suffering here, with a wide range of damage types already available. As written, I think the circle of spores is fine for a melee combatant, however built. [/QUOTE]
