12-08-06, 04:01 AM I am about to play an epic campaign with a druid in which the DM is allowing one artifact per player, with his approval. The problem is, I am playing a druid/Master of Many Forms, and I cannot find any artifacts that work well with druids.

Any artifacts in a printed, official source that benefit the following would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.

1. Wildshaping
2. Summoning
3. Divine spellcasting

I ran them by him, and he said I could have any of them but the last on (Artifact Creation). But the first one helps only arcane casters, and the other three aren't spectacular. Especially Planus Mechanus, which I could just use an Amulet of the Planes for.

12-08-06, 10:20 AM well depending on what kind of game you play from the DMG:
Gamble: deck of many things
book of exalted deeds (1 free lvl)
the moaning diamond for building and stuff

I thought you could get 1 lvl in any caster class, not just in an arcane casting class from the scroll sry bout that.

otherwise you could take the soul totem from bastion of broken souls can give you 3 positive lvls.

A gold orb of dragonkind is pretty nice... you still get draconic AC and saving throws while wildshaped (nothing gets rid of the orb's bonuses short of losing it), and you get a bunch of utility abilities. Of course, dragons will hate you...

That's the part that scares me. Haha. Although, we are a 30th level party, and we'd probably kill most of them. And that leaves their hoardes ripe for the looting.

12-08-06, 09:21 PM Of course, dragons will hate you...Eh, just become one of them via the Dragon Wildshap [Non-epic] or [Epic] feat.

Sadly, I can't think of anything addressing the OP's 3 desires at this moment.

12-09-06, 04:28 AM The only Druid-esque artifact I can recall is The Ironwood, a staff from Unapproachable East. It doesn't really benefit any of the three listed abilities, but provides some divine spells at will, others through charges, and can be recharged through a process similar to a Rod of Cancellation.

I do remember seeing a Crown of the Netherese somewhere, but cannot seem to recall which book it's in...

The other problem is it would drastically drop my AC. My AC as is is a 50 + X Dex + X natural

Ah, I vaguely remember that one.

A deck of many things, just for kicks.

12-13-06, 11:10 PM Well, see if you can do the following with a DoMT:
Go a safe distance away and have your animal companion draw some cards from the deck. If something really bad happens to your companion, you can get another one tomorrow (no skin off your nose). If something really good happens, you benefit from it.
