How Would You Build An Aberration Druid?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I could’ve sworn Pathfinder had an archetype for this, but I can’t seem to find one, so I could use advice on how to build it myself.

My concept is a rather demented druid who is obsessed with aberrations, and who believes the world would be a better place if its existing wilderness was replaced with entire ecosystems of aberrations. To this end, the druid will be summoning, breeding, and “gardening” aberrations of all kinds.

I’d like the druid to be able to wildshape into aberrations, and he should have an aberration-only version of wild empathy. Aberration companion, aberration summoning, aberration augmenting, all of these should be part of his build.

So, is this possible in Pathfinder? How much of this can be done from official Paizo material?


You could just switch all of the stuff for existing aberration stuff. There are also a couple feats that help this concept as well.


Which feats in particular would help with this?

And is there an aberration-druid archetype that I've overlooked?


And what did you mean by "existing aberration stuff"? I'm not clear if you're referring to actual game mechanics or...something else.

(Sorry for the double-post, I can't see how to edit the previous one.)


Basically, if you give them Wild Shape for Aberrations only (maybe reduced progression since they are generally stronger creatures), an Aberrant Tumor Animal Companion/Familiar, and maybe switch some of the existing Druid stuff for more Aberration-based abilities (such as a stink effect replacing woodland stride and tracking or what have you), and you basically have a Druid archetype that suits your needs.

As for the feat, try this.

Grindylow sea druid start the elderich heritage feats for abberations could be fun :-)

Not exactly what I'm guessing you where looking for but it could work for playability.
