limited druid casting

[cakellene]

Looking at Nature's Warrior PrC, what sort of tricks could a Wild Shaping monk do with 2 Druid casting levels?

I don't think the wild monk variant gets any casting, so the +1 spellcasting has no base to progress.

I don't think the wild monk variant gets any casting, so the +1 spellcasting has no base to progress.

Actually, from the class description, "If the character did not belong to a divine spellcasting class before attaining 2nd level in the prestige class, she gains a druid spellcasting level."

Not very much, though with a few more levels it might help. It's not that there aren't any spells it's just that the durations will be quite short — Practised Spellcaster may help here.

The following spells are potentially useful
Shillelagh (1) — Brambles (2) — Spikes / Entangling Staff(3)
Since Quarterstaff is a Monk weapon and you can Flurry with it.

There are a wide number of other useful buffs as well.

Eh some usual stuff, but may require a one level dip in another base class

Is a wild monk required to still be lawful ?


Really I would treat it as gaining SLA's more then thinking of ways to mix the two factors.

Wild Monk can only be LN.

Interesting, and unusual.

Well, there are some useful first-level druid spells, some have been pointed out. I don't think there's really a lot that opens up to particular "tricks" though.

umm.....you get to use druid spells without needing UMD's that is always a good thing.

and you get over 100 spells to chose from at the start of your day, so there is that.
