Just a quick question... If I could go Planar sepherd from monk1/druid5 to monk1/druid5/PS6 what plane would you propose? Was thinking for either Daanvi - The Perfect Order for morphing to Kolyarut to spam enervation or Fernia - the Sea of Fire to shape into either Balor or Firre for tanking...

What would you say?

Nah now I got it and played with it so I can't change the monk level anymore...

I found about telepathy/teleport/invisibility. Anything else you think it would help?

Party comp.

1) Half dragon fighter
2) Goliath barbarian
3) Aasimar cleric
4) Gnome wizard
5) Gnome Bard
6) Me

Guess I'll craft a ring of invisibility and boots of teleportation and I'll pay a wizard to get telepathic bond permanent on me.
As for feats I got Natural sense at 6, Greenbound summoning and initiate of malar. At 9 I'm thinking to buy craft wondrous items as i'll need it to craft boots/ring and at 12 Frozen wildshape.

Is there anywhere a way to find the flora of Faerun and what you can make from the several plants lying around the forests/mountains/dungeons etc?

I remember seeing an article in Dragon Magazine if I remember correctly with plant listings in Faerun and how you can process anything to make balms/ointments for your group or for sale but I can't seem to find it anywhere. My DM is pretty sure he has seen it too but he doesn't remember anything either.

It was something like http://dalelandsbeyond.forumotion.com/t731-herbology-of-faerun where profession: Herbalist was required to make what you wanted.

Can anyone help me find it?

I could use an at-will invisibility (something like pixie's but breakable on attack). Playing an anthro-bat druid as a scout/nuker with +20 on hide/move silently... But invisibility (greater or not) at will could really really be usefull. And I'm trying to find the cheapest way without loosing caster levels to get it. Wand seemed good but I can't use arcane wands as druid and have an invisible/flying wizard around me when scouting 200+ feet ahead of the party is not doable.

PS. Some sort of telepathy at great distances (up to 200 ft) would be usefull as well to inform the party of what I see ahead.

I want to buy/make a ring of invisibility... But it costs around 20000 gp... Problem is there is too much for a level 7 character... I think I read somewhere that I can find someone to craft it for me with some restrictions so I could reduce it's price... Any ideas what I could do to drop it around half price? I just want it to work on call like normally but I don't care if it takes a swift or full round action to activate it...

Well I already was level 2 rogue by the end of the last session so couldn't do most of these.
We did like 2 weeks to play from then and now I'm 200xp off of level 3. I like the Unseen seer PrC and also some caster/wizard would be good in this party... But how could I do it from level 2 halfling rogue with 15 int/16 dex and no points at all in sense motive/spot/spellcraft.

Would wizard at level 3 till ~level 7 (that i'll be able to enter USeer due to skill reqs) be a good idea? I was thinking for swashbuckler at lvl3 for the free feet and some hp bump tho'.

Ideas?

Well my DM will probably just ban this setup but was bored and created it to have some fun.

Starting at ECL 7

Books allowed: Core/Complete ***/Savage Species/All FR books/SC/MiC/Races of ***/Masters of the wild/BoED/Frostburn/Sandstorm/Stormwrack/MM 3-5 and Drow of the Underdark
Anything setting specific except FR ones are prohibited.

So the setup is anthropomorphic bat Monk 1/Druid 6

Str 6
Dex 18
Con 12
Int 12
Wis 18/25 (4 lvl ability point here and +6 from bat)
Cha 8

Using both dex and wis modifiers for AC I get to 21 AC 21 touch 19 FF and I also have 8/8/14 saves.
As for items planning for cloak of resistance +2/periapt of wisdom +2/gloves of dexterity +4 and then I'm at 24/24 touch/21 ff AC with 10/12/17 saves.

Spending a couple of skill points to get to +10 hide/+10 move silently/+17 spot and +14 listen (the rest in normal druid stuff).

Now with barkskin/cat's grace/owl's wisdom/forestfold (+10 hide/move sil.)/luminous armor (+5 armor bonus)/raptor's sight (+5 spot)/listening lorecall (5 listen)/cloud wings I'll be a small bat flying around with 50' fly speed with 60' lowlight/darkvision and 20' blindsight with 20+d20 in hide/move sil and with 23+d20 spot/19+d20 listen scouting the field with 35 AC/30 touch/30 FF  and 10/14/19 saves in case a wizard/sorcerer sees me before I see him. And if I do I'll nuke him with 23 fort/reflex DC before I either go back to inform the party or wildshape in front of him and tear him apart as a fleshraker with venomfire (depending on enemy and/or number of enemies ofc)

What you think? What I could do better? Maybe shrink potions to make me tiny for more hide/AC?

PS. I didn't put the feats here as I am not sure on what to take but it'll probably be greenbound/initiate of malar (for even more fun into a grappler form and free augment)/Natural Spell and probably improved grapple as monk bonus feat but I'm open to suggestions.

Let's make it good!

As an anthro bat do I have blindsense 20ft/lowlight 60ft or no? Because I see people saying you do and people saying you don't. Can't find any info in books about this.

EDIT: Also as an anthro-bat with HD 1 and LA 0 does this mean that with lvl 1 druid I have ECL 2? As from "Only Small anthropomorphic animals lose their monster Hit Dice when they take class levels." under Hit Dice tab in the book I understand that a lvl 1 druid anthro-bat is considered as with ECL = 1 right?

By the way how is herbalism treated in the game?
I'd love to gather plants and roots to make balms and stuff... I think it'll be great RP wise as a druid...
