[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 3492781, member: 36973"] Okay, I've been giving it some thought, and I think a behind the scenes edit of Janis could work both in RP and whatnot. I think a moderate Child of Winter would be workable, especially if she saw herself as less of the "hasten winter" group and more of "its inevitable" group. I feel she'd probably take a more arcane/academic approach to the natural arts and be more of a "city" druid than anything (I can't really see here traipsing about the Eldeen reaches). In all cases, I think her level 1 class would have still been wizard, with the rest depending on option. So, different ways to play: - Wiz 1/Druid 6: An okay option. She'd obviously would have had to use a scroll/wand/whatever to do the one real lightning bolt she has cast. It would explain wild shifting as she would have only gotten in 5th level - Wiz 3/Druid 3/Mystic Theurge 1: Not optimal, but an option. No wild shifting problem here. I think there are a couple of alternate class features which could be interesting: - Elemental Companion [Complete Mage]: Would explain lack of wild empathy and animal companion, though does not explain why she may not have summoned it yet - Root Walker [Dungeonscape]: Explains why she has not used wild empathy, woodland stride or resist nature's lure and fits with Child of Winter. Grants vermin empathy, ease of movement over stone and natural debris, and resistance to aberration magics instead of fey. There are still some holes (acidic druid spells?), but its a start. James, if you can flush out a new Janis here, I can take a look assuming you still want to go this path. [/QUOTE]
