[QUOTE="Theo R Cwithin, post: 5360780, member: 75712"] I really like the flavor of your druids' [I]leaftip[/I]. Open up some really nice possibilities for plot hooks, as well as provides a reason for a PC to actually keep a weapon over the course of a camapaign. Consider it yoinked ;) Actually, I agree about the lack of focus on weather/elements in the core druid, and will likely work that into a prestige druid in some form. At the moment, I'm really just looking for a way to rejigger the existing druid into a prestige class. The idea is that, since they are an order, new druids happen "by invitation only" on the basis of past accomplishments. Thus, IMC no lowly 1st level characters are ever allowed to become druids! Right now, I'm thinking I'll just adjust the Shapeshifter druid variant into a 15-level class (like the "Prestige Paladin", for ex) with a buy in of something like: * BAB +4; * ability to cast [I]endure elements[/I] as a divine spell; and * Knowledge(Nature) 8 ranks or something along those lines. By using the shapeshifter druid, a character taking the PrC gains a stereotypical druidy shape-change ability at about the same time in his career as if he'd taken levels in a normal core druid. I'll likely add in a touch of specialization ability (eg, to focus on plant, animal or storm aspects) in order to increase the power a tad so the class is a bit more attractive as a PrC. [/QUOTE]
