[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2347280, member: 1656"] I'm planning an urban Druid... possibly with a Cleric cohort. Questions: 1. Are you willing to entertain the "fast and deadly hunter" variant druid from Unearthed Arcana p58? Gives up Wild Shape (ouch), all shield and armor proficiencies; gains monk's AC bonus and fast movement, ranger's favoured enemy, swift tracker, and Track feat. 2. Rather than 'followers', would you allow the Leadership feat to provide 'informers'? eg rather than warriors serving the PC, the 'followers' might be Jim the butcher from Eagle Street, and Big Tom who works on the docks, and Carla the barmaid... they don't 'work' for the PC, but they're friendly, and will help him out from time to time? 3. A city-dwelling druid is likely to have a greater affinity for the little creatures - cats, rats, pigeons - than the big bears and tigers. How would you feel about something like a rat swarm as an animal companion? Possibly at the cost of a feat? (Ooh, ooh, cat swarm! I want a cat swarm!) 4. Level? ;) -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
