Halcyon Druid for intrigue campaign


Advice


Any fun ideas on stuff to do with a Halcyon Druid in an intrigue campaign?

Fun Wizard spells to nab, feat-lines to focus on, and so forth?

Thinking about going with a Powerful Presence Human, aiming for Fey Spell Lore but not sure if there are other high-CHA prereq feats that are worth picking up.

Nameless One looks fun, but the feat-line doesn't have many exciting things going for it.


The bonded item being a mask which must be worn seems awkward. Unsubtle. Still, assuming you're not going to be trying to cast spells without notice or to disguise yourself it's acceptable.

Vanish seems like a useful spell. It may be easy to follow you with your distinctive mask and this could break the trail. Slipping into somewhere can be easier too if you choose the right moment. Alternately, if no one else in the party has the Message spell you might want that. Silent Image is often useful.

If you don't get Vanish, Invisibility could be worth it. Knock and Misdirection are worth considering too.

Since you can't wild shape, Fly would be my first choice as a 3rd level spell. Heroism is always useful; Shrink Item or Enter Image could be good for shenanigans. Nondetection may be good if you didn't get Misdirection.

As far as feats go, Fleeting Spell is good for not leaving traces behind for Detect Magic, as well as the usual uses. Merciful Spell may be more useful than usual. Summon Guardian Spirit may be handy for expanding your effective spell list further.

Other spells in no particular order.

Overland flight or mass fly

Invisibility sphere is amazing in an intrigue group.

Silence

True seeing

Dimension Door

Emergency force sphere if your into that sort of thing.

Discern Next of Kin is amazing RP if you need to threaten somebody.

Arcane eye

Alright as I right I'm coming to a more cohesive plan. I am realizing the good intrigue stuff will be in illusion (silent image line and invs spells) and divination (most of the good spells in the school with be relevant). The coercion stuff is in enchantment like dominate person, charm person, Geas-Quest etc. Then finally Dimension door, knock, and silence.
