Arboreal Totem Druid

[Borin Drakkmurl]

Let me start by saying that I understand a lot of this might be impossible to script. But,a man can dream.

-------------


Concept: A druid attuned to the plants and the more primal energies. Rather than evoquing animals to his aid, this druid turns to the ancient wisdom and power of the trees and the primal spirits.

Summon creature spells would instead summon magical, sentient plants, with the more powerful druid being able to, basicaly, create a new patch of forest.

The druid himself would be able to wildshape into plant life rather than beasts, with obvious pros and cons for this: greater attunement to druidic magic, but the druid can not move while on tree form.

Here is a breakdown of how, possibly, this could work. I admit a lot of this might be wildly imbalanced, one way or the other:



Level
5-7 STR: 20 DEX: 0 CON: 24 TOTAL AC: 12 TEMP HP: 100

8-9 STR: 22 DEX: 0 CON: 26 TOTAL AC: 14 TEMP HP: 150

10-11 STR: 24 DEX: 0 CON: 28 TOTAL AC: 16 TEMP HP: 200

12-13 STR: 26 DEX: 0 CON: 30 TOTAL AC: 18 TEMP HP: 250

14-15 STR: 28 DEX: 0 CON: 32 TOTAL AC: 20 TEMP HP: 300

16-17 STR: 30 DEX: 0 CON: 34 TOTAL AC: 22 TEMP HP: 350

18-19 STR: 32 DEX: 0 CON: 36 TOTAL AC: 24 TEMP HP: 400

20-21 STR: 34 DEX: 0 CON: 38 TOTAL AC: 26 TEMP HP: 450

22-23 STR: 36 DEX: 0 CON: 40 TOTAL AC: 28 TEMP HP: 500

24-25 STR: 38 DEX: 0 CON: 42 TOTAL AC: 30 TEMP HP: 600

26+ STR: 40 DEX: 0 CON: 44 TOTAL AC: 32 TEMP HP: 700

Arboreal Boons: +4Con; +2Wis; +2 Lore; +4Animal Empathy; +4Concentration; +4 Hide Pierce Dmg resistance.

Arboreal Weaknesses: Can not move while in tree shape; Vulnerable to fire and slash dmg.

--------------------------------

Animal Companion: Progressively stronger and larger Treant.

--------------------------------

Treeform(Wildshape): The druid can no longer cast spells unless he is in tree form. Summon Creature spells are the exception.

The visual would go from the potentialy hilarious, just a singular, small pine tree to, at the end, a cluster of trees, plus summoned ones.

While in tree form, and as he advances in level, the druid gains unlimited (but timed) uses of the following spells (On top of regular spell progression) :

0 - All.
1 - Entangle, Cure Light Wounds, Sleep
2- Barkskin, Lesser Restorarion
3- Cure Moderate Wounds, Spike Growth
4- Cure Serious Wounds, Dispel Magic,
5- Cure Critical Wounds, Vine Mine,
6- Greater Dispelling, Healing Circle
7- Aura of Vitality
8- Nature's Balance, Sun Burst
9- Mass Heal

Altered or disabled spells:

Shapechange - disabled
Elemental Swarm - Summons five high leveled pixies instead.
