still exploring different shapeshifter druid cross class options, for the fun of it.


 


is crossing a cleric with a druid worth it at all? say, it i did shapeshift druid 17/cleric 3?


i would gain more buff spells from the cleric, and have more spells per day (up to lev 2 spells), while keeping 9th level spells for the druid.

Off topic, but I've always hated it that there isn't a Hybrid prc for Druids and Clerics. They have them for Wizard/Druid, Bard/Druid, Cleric/Wizard, Wizard/Sorc, the whole lot!


 


Come on, gimmie d4s, one good save, poor BAB and progress Druid and Cleric casting!

yeah, right? i was looking but....there really isnt much. 


my thought is that splashing 3 levels of cleric with give me owls wisdom, bull's strength, eagles splendor, and bear's endurance, (i would have cats grace from being a druid) effectively doubling the amount of buffing spells i have.  i love buffing spells but it would also make me a better healer, with more healing spells as well.

There is a class that advances both wizard and sorc casting simultaneously?

No, it's not worth it.


Lost caster levels are too much to give up for a few measly buff spells of questionable (low-level) value.


The only exception is a single (!) level of cleric to nab Divine Metamagic: Persist.

I'd put that in 1 package with no CL lost and call it Archivist : P


 


And the Ultimate Magus from Complete Mage does advance Wiz and Sor casting at the same time...

Persistent Spell is found in Complete Arcane. Divine Metamagic is from Complete Divine.
