thx also how'd you get a half dryad, was it because they usually mate with humans?
I thought I covered that in the race description. She is the offspring of a wild elf that was enchanted by a dryad who fell in love with the elf and freed him. He also fell in love with the dryad. They saved the forest and as a reward were granted a child.
As conceived she was unique. There was no other drylf in the world.
However, I would be very pleased if someone else found the race to be worth trying out in their own world. And I suppose a dryad could fall in love with a human, but that union wouldn't produce the same result probably.
right srry.
So far if any one can way into a druid tank that would be great.
oh I just know the myth with them breeding true with humans
it would be nice to stay on topic please.
thx also how'd you get a half dryad, was it because they usually mate with humans?Dryads breed true. If they mate with a human, the result is a pure dryad. If they mate with a satyr the result is either a dryad or a satyr depending on the gender of the child.
If it did not work out that way dryads would not be able to continue as a race given that they are a single sex species.
This union was referred to in the posts above as a specific God-granted request as a reward for saving the forest.
That sort of thing happens all the time in fantasy.
This is fantasy.
Why in the name of Gary Gygax would you even post something like this? Are you trying to say that creating custom races based on divine intervention is some sort of perversion of the game's intent?
I seriously can't even begin to understand what your purpose is here LazarX. Are you saying Gods can't break the rules?
What is your point?
No I just don't have great short term memory so I'd forgotten that part, nothing was the point sorry if I agitated you again.

Theos, I was responding to LazarX, as I specifically said in my response. This was not directed at you. And I am not "agitated." I am "perplexed".
whoops just re-read the last line.

what are the best feats/ spells for a tank druid?
should I take 4 lvls in rogue scout for the charge deals SA dmg for 5 attacks at 2d6, adding 10d6 dmg each round? Then I can take the feats that increase my wildshape and animal companion so I don't lose much, what do you think?
any other tips for a a front line druid, is the tiger the best animal companion/wild shape

I'm looking for mobility and damage.
If nobody has given you the link then go here Treantmonk's Guide to Druids. It only covers the core rulebook, but the basic ideas are still valid.
ya I know about it, it's just missing a lot of stuff like the dinosaurs which people say are the best animal companions. Thanks though.
Tigers are probably the best companions. The Deinonychus is one of the best medium size animals. There might be one that is better in bestiary 2 or 3, but I have not noticed it yet.
Oh they are best still, I've heard the are worse because you have to grapple for rake.

You do have to grapple for rake, but you can also not grapple and just get the bite and 2 attacks. If you focus on grappling you can also hold bad guys down. When they get to be large at level they are really nice. The smaller cats are better before level 7 though if you want a cat.
Is grapple equal to a single attack?
When you have a tiger it gets to make a grapple check as a free action because it has the grab ability.
Normally it is a free action.
Maintaining the grapple which also allows you to rake is a standard action however, and because of Grab you get a +4 bonus.
You also get a +5 bonus to maintain a grapple if the victim can not escape the first time he gets a chance. That normally means that once the tiger has someone or something they are not going anywhere. Being grappled also affects gives a penalty to AC normally lowers dex, making the grappled opponent easier to kill.
would it be better for me and my tiger companion to grapple together or would it be better to grapple different targets?
If you can deliver full round attacks then you can do more damage so only one of you needs to do the grappling.
ok who would probably be the better grappler of the two? And should we get teamwork feats?
You could depending on what you put into your strength score, but even if you are the better grappler the animal companion is more the good enough. I would let him handle the grappling.
I would boost his int to 3, take improved unarmed strike then improved grapple.
Craft Wondrous Item should be enough since that is what most items are. Giving him barding later on is also not a bad idea.
I agree with some of you. I can honestly say that dinosaurs are the best. I have a velociraptor myself. He's really powerful.
Technical error, sorry:)
what type of barding?
A chain shirt would work if you choose to stick with light armor.
is wild armor worth it?
If I were a dawrf stone plate unless thats a horrible idea.
I don't like SR. It works against you also, and have to spend a standard action to drop it.
When I say it works against you what I mean is if one of your buddies is trying to cast a helpful spell on you then they have to bypass it also.
This is one of those thing I mentioned earlier when I said myself and another poster would disagree on an issue, and you have to make the best choice depending on how your group plays.
If I were a dawrf stone plate unless thats a horrible idea.
Wild armor is good to have, but it is expensive. I played caster more than combatant until I could afford it.
If stone plate is medium armor then it is good thing to have. I forgot if it was medium or heavy, but with the right spells you can still make a big difference.
oh rats never mind that idea.
with the master of many forms can I use a style feat even with armor on?
You can also get +1 Wild Dragonhide Plate. It costs 19,300 gp rather than 18,050 gp, but doesn't slow you down as much in Humanoid form compared to Stoneplate but offers the same protection. Heavy Armor Proficiency is only necessary when you're not wild shaped although it's not a terrible idea to take it.
A +1 Wild Dragonhide Breastplate is a good compromise, costs 16,700 gp and is medium armor, but only gives +7 AC.
As for grappling, tigers have the rake ability. This means you get to do as much damage as a full attack while you are grappling. The main grapple check will deal your bite damage and you also get two free claw attacks. If you have the Greater Grapple feat it will even give you a 4th attack (as you can make two grapple checks a round)
So if I go one lvl MoMF should I get armor or not because of my Wis modifier?
You should still get armor.
Ok
