Hey all. In my current campaign I am playing in, I have had a blast playing a hunter ranger. Combat wise he mostly buffs his animal companion and lets it crank ok the DPR. The build is most assuredly not maxed out but has been a huge kick to play.
The campaign is a shipwreck style adventure, and having no place to buy or purchase magical items has been really fun to play out. And since thwre are no other humanoids left on the island but lots of animals and magical beasts there has been a lot of opportunity to use my Wild Empathy class feature along with Call Animal and Speak with Animals. The DM has been pretty comfortable with me doing this, and it's been fun creating allies among the creatures.
So here's my question. We are realizing something very bad is gonna happen (involving undead humaniods and elemental) in a few weeks game time. Possibly a really bug battle. I want to try and have my hunter maximize his ability to get the creatures to rise up against these outsiders and finght along side the rest of the party.
At level 11, I have already been using Commune with Terrain regularly to find out about animals nearby to know if anything big was coming near us. However, I was thinking of also using Jungle Mind along with Speak with Aninals to convince large packs of wolves and herds of large creatures to be part of the battle (whatever it might be).
Any other ideas of other spells or feats I could investt in to help cause nature to rise up against these creatures?
