I just finished a short module and while writing I realized I reference "druid spells" all the time and there aren't any LotFP druid spells. So I made an LotFP druid.
The module is an evil fairy land sandbox it's in the Store for 5$.

ReplyDeleteweird how Bushcraft seems like it was there for Druids in the first place right? Like the skill was there before the class
@CastlesMadeOfSand
ReplyDeleteWhen James called his Thief/Rogue class a "specialist" he meant it: his idea was you'd be able to make a thief or an assassin or Indiana Jones or maybe a Ranger.
It makes sense that you can't really imagine a complete adventuring party without the possibility of someone who's good at the wilderness.
A druid is actually a fairly specialized thing--kinda like how The Illusionist used to be a class in AD&D --why does this -one kind of magic- get to have its own class?
In D&D that's because Dennis Sustarre wanted to play one in Gygax's campaign--in my game it's because I wanted witches and faeries ina magic forest to be important and the easiest way to define their powers in D&D terms is "druid spells".
So, yknow, I can easily imagine vanilla LotFP without druids per se, but I can't imagine druids without bushcraft.
Having been a fond reader of John Michael Greer for some years, I would assume his base attack was at least +1. It’ll only get better on the downward slope of peak oil and dark age America.
ReplyDeleteDumb comments aside, I’m happy to see druids addressed.
Humble request for a druid random level up table! Or ideas for one. I've been using Jeff rients' gnome one to date
