Planer Druid ideas

[Argent Silvermage]

I'm looking for ideas to take my character after his final level of Verdant Lord (he'll be 25th level Druid 15/ V.L.10). I like the idea of a planes hopping druid. one that can survive anywhere and has assess to special powers that unlock only of a particular plane.

The concept I'm working with is a "Seeder". the druid goes around taking plants from one plane to another (keeping in mind the ecology of the world.) I specificaly want to work with plants and plant aspects instead of animal ones. (him being a V.L. and all.)
are there any suggestions?

Perhaps instead of a "Seeder" he would be a "Restorationist".
Going to worlds where ecological disasters or evil gods had made the world barren or near barren.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

That's an idea. Not exactly for Bolo but a good idea. The problem comes in that if the gods of a world have done this to their own world who is a druid from another world to say what should be on that gods world. sounds too dangerous for my tastes.

What about a the ultimate Horticulturalist? He travels the planes collecting samples of every plant species in existence and collects them together in a subdimensional-wide greenhouse conserving the speicies incase of future extinction.

"Oh do you mean all Triffods were exterminated after their spelljammer reached earth? Oh well, its likely I have two trifford seeds right here..."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Good one! I can see Bolo ceating a new sub-plane devoted to the green. That or he assumes control of the one in our game called "Prospero's Grove" this is where the world tree lives.
The more I think about it that makes sence.

Now where to start to create this prestige class?
and what to call it? "Planes Pruner?"

You're quite welcome! I think the prereq's are a bit steep, but the "budding" thing really requires you to be fairly plant-like.

The idea came from some of Octavia Buttler's aliens.

By 10th level Verdant Lord Bolo will have all of them.
all he needs is the plant being aspect.
really this is exactly what I was looking for. did you just come up with this out of thin air?
I think I need to add Knowledge planes to the list of skills. if this is a planes walking PRc than that would be needed. also access to some way to do the walking. In Wizardru's game the "green" is connected to all places and thus Bolo should be able to walk anywhere there is plantlife by means of the Transport via Plant spell or it's epic equivelant.

 

[WizarDru]

Well, that was a disturbing visual. As if Bolo wasn't a freaky enough looking halfling as it was.

I'll consider it, when I'm more awake.
