[QUOTE="jkason, post: 4236464, member: 2710"] Looks like we have some good nibbles, at least. In the meantime, anyone mind if I brainstorm on Midian's character progession? I've been trying to figure out how Seeqir's death might affect him. His general druid philosophy's already been altered; he started out with the (intentionally) simplistic belief that everything that existed was part of nature. Several encounters with nasty undead have brought him to a point where I think he's pretty sure necromancy isn't something he's keen on. That combined with the death of his animal companion seems to be leading him down a path that strips away a lot of his idealism (and there was quite a bit of it. Being raised by Paladins and then going straight to university, he's lived a fairly sheltered life). I played with the idea of pushing him toward one of the Druidic sects, as he realizes that his "book learnin'" druidism perhaps isn't serving him as well out in the real world. But from what I've been looking at online, I don't think any of the sects really suit him: He gets along quite well with Whisper, so Ashbound wouldn't make sense. And he hasn't had much interaction with any of the natural foes or allies of the other sects he has the alignment for. I've been debating prestige classes, maybe focusing on animal companions / wildshaping due to a drive to better serve his companions after Seeqir's death? One of the Animal Lords (horselord, maybe, since his first bond was with Talbot) or Beastmaster seemed kind of interesting, though I'm not sure how useful they really are in practice. I also thought about multi-classing to Ranger at some point, as Midian maybe decides to focus on learning to fight better and have more practical interactions with the natural world ('get his hands dirty') as part of his progression. I'm mostly rambling, and none of this is likely to happen for another level or so at least (especially if it's a prestige class, since I'll have to get the prereqs taken care of), but feel free to chime in with an opinion if anyone has one. :) jason [/QUOTE]
