Avenger (Druid Kit)

A member of a special sect within the druidic order, the Avenger is dedicated to fighting those who would defile nature. Avengers have powers the average Druid does not — additional abilities earned through extensive rituals, a process that is very physically draining.

Advantages

  • May shapeshift into the form of a sword spider, baby wyvern, and fire salamander — in addition to the standard Druid shapeshifts.
  • May cast 6 Mage spells: Chromatic Orb, Web, Lightning Bolt, Improved Invisibility, Chaos, and Chain Lightning.

Disadvantages

  • May not wear armor heavier than leather.
  • –2 penalty to Strength and Constitution.

When to pick it

  • The most versatile Druid kit — adds offensive Mage spells and exotic shapeshift forms.
  • The Strength/Constitution penalty hurts melee viability outside of forms.
