Anyone have a suggestion for a way to create a Vermin Keeper style archetype for Druid or a Pathfinderization of the existing prestige class/
You can probably adapt the verminous hunter archetype (Advanced Class Guide) to work with a druid instead of a hunter, altering wild shape to allow vermin forms (similar to desert druids), as well. You probably want to restrict the wild shape even more, or remove/tone down the Vermin Focus ability, if converting it to a druid.
My apologies for the late response, things come up and most of them not very pleasant. I am looking for a presentable straight up archtype that I might get my DM to green light for a future campaign.
The Blight Druid only has one ability that is appealing towards the vermin, as does the desert druid, but just not close enough. The verminous hunter is appealing if it were only a druid archtype and didnt have the vermin focus ability, instead had the step-by-step vermin wild-shape abilities of the vermin keeper.
