The 1E Hierophant (Unearthed Arcana)

[el-remmen]

Any of you old schoolers wanna break up the 1E Unearthed Arcana for me and refresh my memory on what sorts of abilities the high level druids, called Hierophants in that book, received?

I would be ever so grateful. My copy of 1E UA fell apart within weeks of getting it back in '85 or '86 (terrible bindings in those days) and for years I had the pages hole-punched in a binder - but now it is long lost. . .

I'm actually starting up a 1E game soon, so was just flipping through my old books. I don't have the red binder on me (I hear you on bad bindings), but I seem to recall them having powers to enter the elemental planes fully protected, and possibly lose the need to eat and sleep.

If no one else posts, I'll check tonight for more exact abilities.

I tried to post the text, but got the following error:

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:

1. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 3 characters.

Which is somewhat ironic, since the amount of text was about a full page....

Aha. I thought I had, but I think I put my comments into the "quote=" statement, so that makes sense now. Any chance the error message could be updated to be more clear?

At 23th level they can roam Inner Plane Probability Lines (the 7th Dimension) I never had a clue about the meaning of that, but it was just too cool... classic Gygax!

In addition to the above: 500,000 XP between each level, and no more spell progression. It mades them of little interest IMO...

Unearthed Arcana states that a Gran Druid can step down and become a Hierophant after *just* 500,000 xp... well, I suppose that it isn't too much compared to the 1,500,000mthey need to get to Great Druid...
