View Full Version : Looking for Druid Spells

I am making a new character and looking for some specific druid spells with some specific requirements:
1) They must be naturally 0-4. If it is 5+ before shenanigans it is not for me.
2) It must be good when maximized
3) No pure damage spells or spells that rely on non-touch attack rolls.

I have found a few possible candidates from Eggynack's guide but I was wondering if people knew of other cool options before I locked in choices*

*I can maximize for free using charges from a wand of that spell, hence I need to "lock in" choices on a druid caster.

Allowed sources? That would be helpful.

Oh shoot. That is what I get for my 3 AM posting.
All 3.5/3.0 1st party, all Dragon Magazine, and PF since the game is 3.PF leaning on 3.5.

Thanks for catching that!

Moon Bolt is the best that comes to mind without more info

Can you tell us what your "possible candidates" are so far?

That will give us a better idea of what you're looking for, and help us avoid suggesting spells you already have on your short list.

Icelance, Sudden Stalagmite, and I will use Flame Sands for a nice pure damage maximized spell.

Kelpstrand - Grapples multiple targets. Pretty awesome, though maximize does nothing to it.
Creeping Cold - Cumulative cold damage every round for 3 rounds. Both maximize and extend (extend is the more important one I think)
Vortex of Teeth - A persistent area force damage spell whose fluff/theme is just pure fun :elan:
Spirit Jaws - Grapple + damage
Blood Snow - Maximize only raises the Con drain to 2 (1d2)
Quillfire - Damage + 1d6/1d6 Str poison

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

Are you quoting the song or the book?:smallconfused:

I've been using that quote for over two decades. I don't have a clue where I got it from anymore . :)

The song that I know has that for a lyric is "Free Your Hate" by KMFDM. There may be others that I don't know of.

The book is one of The Illuminati Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson. I don't know when that was published, but I read it sometime in the early 80's.

Poison is not great normally, but hoo boy does it pack a punch when you maximize it.
