I created a new pc for an old campaign. In fact all pc's are around 20th level so a very old campaign. We play on several planes, so much planetraveling will occur.
The druid is;
Forrest Gnome, uses club, scimitar, sling for weapons.
I gave him the Woe of Poverty feat, for the fun and interesting in playing a pc who do not think high of materialism(equipment) I also took Celestrial Familiar and chose a Dire Wolf(very cool animal!)
But I cant quite figure out the right way to play him?
Will he be very true to nature or just a little?
How about cities? Will he enter only small cities or he will only if he can be sure he can get out again very soon?
What about his companion will he take him anywhere? Or can he stay and "guard the entrance"?
I cant figure it all out and need some input/advice/ideas..... call it what you want.

Please!?

12-07-05, 05:21 PM What is the Woe of Pverty Feat, do you mean the vow of poverty?

Anyways, try and have him focus on transendence and perfection. Nature is merely the greatest symbol of perfection, for it is the womb from whence all life came. Try not to be too zealous, don't smite your allies for walking on the grass for instence. As for his animal, that's completely up to your prefference. Since he's level 20, however, you may want to include the significance of the animal companion in your backstory, how they helped each other and stuff.

12-12-05, 02:25 PM Yes, I did mean the Vow of Poverty feat(Silly Me! ;) )

The animal I will chose( I'm not sure yet) might be some animal I saved from slaughter some years back!!?? Dont know yet, either.

But, I just might make him unsure of cities - as in how to react in crowds, how to aviod any kind of public/law enforcement attention.

He is 20th level though, that cant be gained by never enter any kind of town if you ask me.
I cant figure out how he might react to other individuals reactions to his companion. They mihgt be VERY intimidated by this (posssibly) large animal.

So, a unsure player I am still! (that was too Yoda-like :D )

12-12-05, 04:14 PM I think you also meant Exalted Companion instead of Celestial Familar...

Vow of Poverty is good for a druid, since he can pass all his time wildshaped. I think you don't need any weapon, perhaps only a club.
