Hello everyone! I am creating some demigod for my setting and I noticed the lack of pathfinder epic level progression for many classes. While classes like rogue gain additional rogue talents and sneak attack damage, classes like druids have nothing more to offer but highee spells slot. Since I have some free time now, I decided to make some epic level class, meaning that class advancement after lvl 20. I started with the druid, and I present here 2 of the paths the class can follow. The first is the Nature Spell Master, a spellcaster druid who doesn't use wildshape for melee combat and is heavily focused on casting. The second one is the Animal Master, a druid who channels his magic through his animal companion, giving him great ability score benefit but he doesnt gain any onther benefit and he lose some caster level. The third one, which i still I am creating right now, is the Wild Shape Master, a heavily wild shape focused druid who lose a lot of spellcasting ability but gains more forms to wild shape into and the rage class feature. I hope you like it, i am open to suggestions!

Spells per day: At the indicated levels, an Nature Spell Master gains new spells per day as if he had gained a druid level.
Bonus Domain: At lvl 2 and every 4 lvl thereafter, a Nature Spell Master gains a Cleric Domain between those in theNature Bond's Druid class feature. If the druid doesnt have an animal companion because he chose a Domain at lvl 1, he can choose to get the animal companion instead of the Domain. The animal companion is the same level as the druid. He can make this choice even if he has an animal companion granted by a non druid class: in this case he just adds his druid lvls to his animal companion to determine his lvl.
Nature Assimilation (Ext): The druid can draw power from nature around him: when in contact natural terrain (this includes air and water, but only if they arent enclosed in an artificial construction, like a swimming pool or the center of a building) the druid's caster lvl is considered to 1 higher. This Caster Level Bonus increase by +1 every 5 lvls.
