Druid--Nature's Balance

[Beneidalus]

So I'm considering some half-caster druid fun, and i'm wondering how much Nature's Balance actually lowers SR? Especially with transmutation foci. I'm imagining it'll become the crutch of any half-caster druid. Any numbers someone can give me?

Nature's Balance spell works this way:

With no Spell focuses:

Breaches: 2 Spells
Additional SR Decrease: 3
Radius of effect: 5 meters (RADIUS_SIZE_LARGE)

With GSF: Transmute:

Breaches: 3 Spells
Additional SR Decrease: 4
Radius of effect: 6.67 meters (RADIUS_SIZE_HUGE)

With ESF: Transmute:

Breaches: 3 Spells
Additional SR Decrease: 5
Radius of effect: 8.33 meters (RADIUS_SIZE_GARGANTUAN)

Do mind the Breaching effect as well as Heal will affect creatures even outside of the spell visual effect due to larger radius then the official visual, this *MAY* be addressed after we move into EE, though not certain of it at this moment.

Metamagic supported by the spell: Extend, Empower, Maximise.

Usage of Empower/Maximise metamagic will affect the amount of Healing value as well as the BASE SR decrease.

The SR decrease follows a formula:

BASE SR decrease (CL/5)d4 + BREACH SR Decrease

The Healing formula is:

3d8 + CL

Using Extend metamagic will double the duration of the SR decrease
The duration of the spell is:

rounds/3CL
