I blame druids for all the weird crap in the pathfinder world. Especially bored/rich high level druids...

ie:
You and your party are walking down a path and see a camel with a pack full of gear standing there with no apparent owner around.
Groups thief beckons the sorcerer to use detect magic to see if he has anything good. Finds magic everywhere on the camel.
After some debate the group decides to look for the camels owner.
As they walk away they get hit by a fireball. They turn around to see only the camel staring at them.
Sorcerer uses detect invisibility...nothing.
Group gets hit with another fireball that appears to come from the camel.
Group gets confused and figures why not..attack the camel.
Camel proceeds to cast more spells..

Lesson learned..druids that randomly awaken things are dicks. Also so are camels.

Druids are not the only class that can do weird stuff.

Any kind of necromancer could, for example kill a camel, use trade (taxidermist) or craft (stuffed animals) on it to keep it from rotting. After that he casts animate dead/create undead or whatever on it and you have a normal looking camel that is in fact undead.

Or a beastbonded witch could posses a camel after having her body killed.

Or a synth summoner could shape his eidolon as a camel.

Not all of those options could cast fireballs but they could result in other weird crap.

Yeah I'd blame all casters.

You put your hat on a hatrack and just want to continue on to the living room, when something whacks you over the back of your head.
You turn around and all you see is the hatrack and your hat. The latter now lying on the ground.

Isn't pretty much every aberration, hybrid monstrosity, and bizarre organic goulash the result of "experiments by a mad wizard"?

The terrible ducksnake, for example.

Lmfao. Now I must do this to every creature I pass >_>


New adventure/antagonist idea:

1) Druid casts Awaken on a giant dire boar.
2) Boar decides it wants a career in standup comedy.
3) Boar gets upset when people don't laugh at its jokes.
4) Boar gets upset when it thinks people are laughing at it.

You think awakened CAMELs are the problem with druids?

It's the walking, talking, spell-casting TREES that drive me crazy.

Well, being fireballed in the back is a hell of a lot worse than getting spit upon, that much is for sure.

I love this one too.

Druids are how Planet of the Apes ACTUALLY happened.

Camels are a lot more ornery than most trees.

I think the worse thing I did to my party was have them coming down the road when the ground begins to rumble. They look around and see the ground shaking to the north.

They look confused until they are hit by the invisible charging animal growthed triceratops.

I love druids.

Yeah, despite having a bigger bark than camels, a tree's reaction is much more wooden.

I blame the dragons, if not for their very casual aproach to sex, we wouldn't have so many bizarre half-dragons creatures.

So it's a half-dragon camel?

"until"?


I read a story about a pig-wrestling competition that PCs could wager on. One of the "pigs" was in fact a temporarily polymorphed barbarian!

No. Animate crap not Druid spell.

Nobody ever suspect steaming mess under camel.

Wizard one make sneaky Crap Golem and give errands with fireball necklace beads.

At the very least could be a Awakenned Sorcerer Camel with a draconic bloodline.

If a druid casts Awaken on a snake, and that snake takes the Leadership feat, will it be a Cobra Commander?

Camels aren't the only a#@+#%* animals, we mustn't forget the vile evilness of Goats, also i'm pretty sure horses have declared a Jihad against me:)

Cats. Every single one of them is pure evil.


I still want to see an awakened Monkey with Rogue levels. Or a rogue that gets Baleful Polymorphed into a monkey but passes the will save to recall its actualy a rogue. Either would be fun to see.


A swarm of Awakened Bats! Bwahaha!


If someone is Baleful Polymorphed and fails the save, does awaken return their personality? Or is it a new one?

I knew a character that got Baleful Polymorphed into a rabbit then hit with an Awaken spell. They weren't quite the same though. They were just some bunny that I used to know.

Reading that physically inured me.

I wonder if druid spells can create awakened animal-plant crossbreeds. Who wants camelized onions?

Make a stone chest.

Cast Stone to Flesh

Craft a flesh Golem

Walking loot chest that follows you. Now if only you could give it actual life and then awaken it...

Niiiiiiiiice.

I think a permanently animated chest would suffice similarly, though. Also, you'd have to make six of the chests, separate them, and then stitched each of them back together with parts from the other six (only one part each per golem).

What would you even call a collective grouping of chests? A gaggle? A murder? A herd?

"A cohort of chests comes at you angrily! Roll initiative!"

"Why are the pectorals of my Leadership feat's best feature attacking meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?!?!"

I propose a "loot".

Possibly, a "horde".

This reminds me of a joke my old gaming group used to do.

The Druid Tree Assassins.

Party is walking through the woods of a forest. Suddenly, they are hit by a lightning bolt from the sky.

Everyone rolls Perception checks. All they see is the trees.

They get hit by another lightning bolt.

The party continues to make Perception checks. All they notice are the trees.

Druids who use Tree Shape and cast Silent Stilled Call Lightning are jerks too.


In a D&D 3.0 campaign that eventually went epic, our Druid awoke a Tiger.

Then trained it to be a Monk.

Then, using Leadership, made it his cohort.

during a foray during the time of troubles, the party came across a tribe of Orcs blissfully grazing in a pasture, with smoke on the horizon.

when the party gets over the hill they came across a burning village, so of course they went to help, it turns out it was a herd of Sheep pillaging the village.

when the sheep saw the party of 3rd level characters they of course attacked after a few bad rolls they party ran! now in this party was a Dwarf that no one else cared for (he had found a staff of withering and despite being CG liked to hit random old people with it), so when he fell behind the Sheep caught up to him and, lets just say, did things to him;)

poor guy was never the same:) at least i didn't have the mind switched sheep kill him tho, and he learned his lesson without having him switch alignment or anything

and in fairness to me, i warned him multiple times that bonking old people with a staff of withering wasn't something CG people do and that their would be consequences:)

Our D&D party do not trust druids... They have agenda. They reincarnated our party wizard and later me as gnomes. This is no coincidence, this is druidic conspiracy to increase number of gnomes. That druid is probably a gnome masquerading as human too!

I blame monks. Because those guys are totally broken, right? [/sarcasm]

Yeah, if those monks would only get their act together they could stop the druids.

Lazy monks.
