High level druid tactics

[Shadeus]

Take empower spell as your feat and then take empowered fire seeds as your 8th-level slot. You can create the 8 holy berry bombs each doing (1d8 + 15) * 1.5 = 29.25 (ave) each. Drop all 8 on someone and you average 234 points of damage.

And the best part? No spell resistance. You gotta love it.

And yeah, we've houseruled all shapeshifting according to the Rich Burlew rules, including not having types change with wildshaping, so that's not an option.

That's a big shame, because it removes one of the major advantages of being a plant - immunity to critical hits. Worth having all the time if you can get it!

I'd not looked at the 8th level druid spells, but my goodness they are pants! Better off preparing a 7th level spell in that slot (as long as you could still change that to SNA8) or taking a different feat from augment summoning - since you don't like summoning stuff, you could then use your 8th level slot to prepare a quickened 4th level spell (flame strike plus quickened flame strike?, or an empowered 6th level spell (like fire seeds).

Quicken would be a great feat for you, since it would give you the opportunity to push out a number of big-area, battlefield control spells very quickly (e.g. entangle, sleet storm etc)


On another tack, a nice tactic I noticed is to cast call lightning (or lightning storm) and then summon air elementals and get them to turn into whirlwinds. If your outside you get to do d10s instead of d6s without worrying about control weather!
