I'm continuing a forum from the "Rules" forum here since all my rules questions were answered. Now I need to find a way around them :)
No, but seriously. I'm hoping to make a Ranger/Druid for my upcoming campaign. The build (ranger with 5 lvls druid) fits perfectly for the character concept I have in mind. However, I don't really want to deal with 2 spell lists. Combined that's over 100 1st level spells to choose from. So I'm trying to put together a way to have just one spell list that combines the druid and ranger casting without making it noticeably weaker or stronger.
Here was my idea:
Spells Known: Either the Druid list or Ranger list, not both. Advances as you gain spells of new levels.
Caster Level: This would be the combination of the 2 caster levels.
Spells/day: combination of two classes.
So that would look like this (with wisdom = 14):
Level 8 (R3/D5)
CL: 5
Spells/Day: 4/3/1
Level 10 (R5/D5)
CL: 7
Spells/Day: 5/3/1
Level 12 (R7/D5)
CL: 9
Spells/Day: 5/3/1
Level 14 (R9/D5)
CL: 11
Spells/Day: 6/4/1
Level 16 (R11/D5)
CL: 13
Spells/Day: 6/4/2
Does that seem fairly balanced? I'd be giving up the variety of spells for a high caster level. I think spells/day would also be slightly lower--would my bonus spells from wisdom normally apply to both classes?
If not, any suggestions on how I could balance it out?
