08-12-05, 01:15 AM Hi, I have a moderately high level druid, and since character creation I have been playing all sorts of mods I can get to with him and everywhere. I LOVE dinosaurs and I really want a deinonychus (aka mislabed velociraptor in Jurassic Park) or megaraptor soooooooo badly as my animal companion or to wild shape into. I know dinosaurs are limited access, but I can't find access anywhere :( Has anyone encountered mods out there that give access to it?

08-12-05, 08:59 PM I haven't... really, there are no regions where dinosaurs would be part of the flavor, so access would probablt have to come from a core set in Hepmonoland or the Amedio Jungle.

At some point, WotC will come out with a "jungle environment" book, and LG will spin off a Hepmonoland/Amedio sub-campaign set in it... then you'll get your access:)

08-13-05, 02:39 AM The Sandstorm versions of the druid and ranger classes choose between two dinosaurs from Sandstorm as a companion once their level is high enough. Of course, you'd have to have started your character with BoBS and declared that you were using the Sandstorm variant instead of the normal class from the PHB.

08-13-05, 08:40 AM There is a mod where you get to fight a dinosaur. Not the type you are looking for, and as far as I know it doesn't count as access for druids, but it does establish precedent for a special mission maybe? A 'Lost World' style expidition?

08-13-05, 06:35 PM Wow those things sound cool. I am sad to say that Greyhawk doesn't to have a lot of certs or ARs for druids. :embarrass But then again, I could probably say that would be more true for Bards... hm.

I hope access to some dinos would occur soon. I would make my own mod, but I can't play my own mod and get benefits if I were to make one :rolleyes:

08-14-05, 04:00 AM I've seen a fair number of items for druids and bards, though they are often clumped together on one AR. I also see mithral and the new elven weapons quite often too. The access you get depends on where you play.

08-24-05, 12:42 AM Since the new LGCS came out there is no restriction on animal wild shapes for druids so long as the animal appears in the MM and is not a template. Read the LGCS regarding the Polymorph spell. It tells you all you need to know. There's absolutely nothing in there about restrictions.

Have fun!

:)
