06-21-04, 10:00 PM I'm just curious, what Druid spells are worthwhile and helpful in potion form? CLW is pretty good, I'm sure, but the rest are bad because of the increased level druids suffer for healing magic.

The enhancement buffs are pretty well worthless due to the 3.5 nerf, and they are relatively pointless at higher levels anyhow (13th level druid).

And just so you don't think I wasted a precious feat on Brew Potion, understand that I gain use of it by wildshaping into a Myconid Sovereign. Remember that you gain all racial bonus feats, as listed in Alter Self.

*Picture giving these to the party rogue for use in a scouting capacity? Sure, you could also make scrolls to cast these on the rogue, but in potion form, they give the rogue flexibility (including self-recovery!)

[Edit: added the suggestions for produce flame and resist energy]

06-21-04, 10:56 PM Thanks for the list Seeker. Some of those do look like good options. I'd add Energy Resistance and Produce Flame to the list of Rogue-friendly potions. Imagine a full-rogue getting to make touch attacks with produce flame:smirk:
