And I'm already settled on mounted melee. Like I said, ranged is too feat-intensive (even with PF's feat boosts). To be reasonable at it, I'd need to do one of three things: take Martial Weapon Proficiency, dip a martial class, or change race to Elf. Then I'd need Point Blank and Precise Shot to actually do my job and Rapid Shot would be a good idea, too. I'd really be better off just going Ranger if I wanted to focus on archery.And given how I've played a number of Ranger characters, I'd prefer to take a Druid this time and play with some real magic. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />As for the spells, like I said, mostly buff spells. Probably a few battlefield control ones, to be cast when my scorpion isn't moving me around the field, and probably a couple of attack spells at higher level (Call Lightning has always been a favorite for the cool factor).I was reading up on PF poisons just the other day because of this. According to RAW, making poisons requires a Craft (alchemy) check and Alchemy requires a lab... Naturally, rules are always subject to DM fiat, and this may well be one of the cases where a change (such as reduced cost to create the poison, due to having a free source of raw poison material) would make good sense.Oh, I appreciate them. Brainstorming is often helpful. <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=":)" />I'll get to work on that deity... Probably something similar in style to the Egyptian Sobek. A necessary evil, tolerated because his doings weren't as dangerous and kept out the nastier elements...Camel isn't required for the mount... Look at Arabian horses. Some of the finest, toughest animals in the world and they live in a very similar environment. Hmm... Beyond providing a little direction if the group needs it, what purpose is this NPC supposed to serve?</blockquote>
