3.5 Druid awesomeness!

[GadialCain]

I have a Druid build and need feats. The progression is Druid 5/ Vermin Keeper 10/ Planar shepherd 5. The feats I have are Iron will, green singer initiate, and natural spell. What else and the source book, please!

[NOhara24]

Play Druid 5/Planar Shepard 10/Whatever Else 5 instead.

Take Basketweaving as soon as you qualify for it. Then Underwater Basketweaving. After these two you should be able to qualify for Innate Basketweaving, so you can weave a basket as a swift action.

Seriously though, you've got levels in Planar Shepard and natural spell. The game is over. If you really want your DM to have Druid-related PTSD, take greenbound summoning.

Congratulations, you have reached a level of cheese few have ever attempted, you could quite easily take exotic weapon profiency in some weapons that nobody has ever heard of and still beat the crap out of your entire party effortlessly.

Level 1: Toughness
Level 3: Toughness
Level 6: Natural Spell
Level 9: Toughness
Level 12: Toughness

Repeat ad nauseam. Honestly it doesn't matter what feats you take as long as you take Natural Spell. You're a freakin' Planar Shepherd.

[prufock]

I'm not really familiar with Vermin Keeper, but it appears you don't have any metamagic feats. That would probably be a good place to start.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Natural Spell if you ever want to cast while wild shaped.

...He already said he had that. In the first post.

[Coidzor]

Have you looked at the druid handbook (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=940.0)?

This one for the planar shepherd (http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19871574/The_Planar_Shepherd_Handbook) might be of interest as well.

[Endarire]

Planar Shepherd of what? Fernia? Mechanus?

[FearlessGnome]

Level 1: Toughness
Level 3: Toughness
Level 6: Natural Spell
Level 9: Toughness
Level 12: Toughness

Repeat ad nauseam. Honestly it doesn't matter what feats you take as long as you take Natural Spell. You're a freakin' Planar Shepherd.Alas, Planar Shepherd requires you to have taken either the Greensinger or the Nightbringer Initiate feat. Now that our death machine has 3 less hp, whatever shall we do?

Honestly, Natural Spell is just the cheese whiz frosting on top of the cheese cake that is Planar Shepard.

Take a fleshraker as animal companion, and use the spell Venomfire for that extra cheese flavour,. They only add flavour, as you are cheesed out as it is.
Fleshraker, the blue cheese flavour of the druid.

Or you could ask your DM if he allows turn elemental to work as turn undead, because then you can cheese it up with a little divine metamagic.

Seriously, with the right plane used for the Planar Shepard, you control the reality of the game.
Of course, that could be fun. Make a redneck druid, and used the motto "we don't take kindly to your kind of reality around here".

...Which type of cheesecake?

This?

Either way, I'm not sure why it's a bad thing. :smalltongue:

Cheez Whiz on top of this? (http://www.thecheesecakefactory.com/resources/66a249804e9e4d3eba94ffda82dffe33/menu_Cheesecake_GodivaChoco.jpg)
That is bad. In fact, Cheez Whiz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheez_Whiz) on top of pretty much anything is bad.

Okay, fair play, Cheez Whiz on top of that might be fun.

Oh yeah, the cheese whiz. Well, take that out (AKA, don't pick a plane with the fast time trait to get extra turns).

Yeh just noticed that. I didn't read through his entire post.

Bad idea to read this forum while tired.

Eye-bleeding cheese

* SF: conjuration
* Augment Summoning
* Ashbound
* Greenbound

You may not be able to do both Ashbound and Greenbound, but if they stack then you any one of your summons could take out a CR+5 encounter by themselves. Which is why that combination is broken and shouldn't be played.

The fondue only really started coming out when you tossed in that hunk of greenbound.

[Andvare]

Smell that? You smell that?
Greenbound, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of Greenbound in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that Summon Nature's Ally smell, the whole hill. Smelled like...

Victory. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPXVGQnJm0w)

I don't know. Augmented Ashbound creatures will pretty much kill everything. Add a Summon's Totem (MIC, p. 187) which allows you to buff your summons for "free" (you still use the spell, you just don't take an action to do it), and you have probably something that is CR+2 or so... with a single spell (plus buff)

Now, Greenbound is just stupidly broken. I saw somewhere that it was supposed to be like a metamagic with a +2 level adjustment, so if you summoned a SNA 1 with Greenbound it would cost you a SNA 3. That would actually make it just SIMPLY broken instead of STUPIDLY broken, I think.
