Totem Druid Modifications

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Totem Druid Modifications

Post by Valo65 »

Simply put, I suggest we allow a greater variety of animals when it comes to Totem Animals.

I'm not suggesting entirely new animals with new stats, but rather a different skin for a previous animal/stat combo.

For instance, allow Tiger Totem druids using Wolf Stats.

Base Totem: Proposed Alternatives
Bear: Rothe, Polar Bear, Boar,
Panther: Cougar, Crag Cat, Leopard, etc.
Wolf: Tiger, Lioness, Badger (Badger might be better under Bear, though), Worg (which may also work better under Bear)
Eagle: Deer (the high CHA and detection skills fits for this, in my opinion), White Stag (Please?)
Rat: Squig
Spider: Select different types of Spiders, Such a Sword, Grove, Phase and Dire Spider

I think it might be a cool addition to expand the -polymorph command to allow totem druids to instantly polymorph into their totem shape. Perhaps only allow this once druids gain infinite castings of wildshape, however.
