Summary & Notes

Druidic House Rules

Improved Wildshape Feat

Becoming more attuned with nature, you are more proficient in wildshaping.

Prerequisites: Wildshape ability, Wisdom 15

Benefits: You can wildshape as if one level higher in a single wildshaping class -- this increase in level affects both creature type and size, maximum hit dice allowed, times per day and duration. You may select this feat multiple times. The Improved Wildshape feat will stack with any other effects or items, such as the Druid's Vestment wonderous item, that enhance the wildshaping ability.

Natural Spell Specialization Feat

Prerequisite: Natural Spell Specialization is available to those who can cast second level druid or ranger spells; Region or Biome (but not Elemental) specialization is available to those who can cast second level plant or animal domain spells.

Choose an area of specialization (see below). Spells you cast in that area are more effective and more potent. However, spells cast outside your area are less effective. This feat can be taken only once.

Benefit: You cast spells in your area of specialization at +2 caster levels. Add +1 to the saving throw DC of all spells you cast in your area. But you cast all spells outside your area at -1 caster level. If you are multiclassed, the feat applies to all spells you cast.

Improved Natural Spell Specialization Feat

Prerequisite: Improved Natural Spell Specialization is available to those who can cast fifth level druid spells; Region or Biome specialization is available to those who can cast fifth level plant or animal domain spells. The Natural Spell Specialization feat is also a prerequisite.

Your expertise in your area of specialization deepens. This feat can be taken only once.

Benefit: You cast spells in your area of specialization at +4 caster levels. Add +2 to the saving throw DC of all spells you cast in your area. But you cast all spells outside your area at -2 caster levels. If you are multiclassed, the feat applies to all spells you cast.

Areas Of Natural Spell Specialization

The areas of specialization fall into three groupings: Regions, Biomes, and Elements.

Region -- pick a specific natural (not political) region of the Wold, like the Culverwood or the Cursed Swamp. All spells you cast while in that region gain the benefit of the feat; but all spells you cast outside the region suffer the feat's penalty. You gain the benefit even in cities, indoors, and underground in your region.

Biome -- pick a biome, or type of environment, like jungle, plains, ocean, wetlands, desert, or forest. All spells you cast while outdoors in that biome gain the benefit of the feat; but all spells you cast outside the biome suffer the feat's penalty. You do not generally gain the benefit in cities, indoors, or underground.

Elements -- pick an element: air, earth, fire, or water. The spells listed below (and only those spells) are arranged in elemental groups. Spells you cast in your elemental group gain the benefits of the feat; but all spells you cast outside the group suffer the feat's penalty.
