-Cold Stone: 10 levels of druid
-Electrical Stone: 13 levels of druid
-Acid Stone: 18 levels of druid
-Sonic Stone: 23 levels of druid

-(he gains each stone to make switching faster)

Legendary Levels:
-Divine Stone: 28 levels of druid + 5 LL
-Positive Stone: 28 levels of druid + 10 LL
-Negative Stone: 28 levels of druid + 15 LL


Comments:
I think this is well balanced because he hasn´t very good defensive abilities. He must take monk´s level later, so begining should be hard. When he casts Ice Storm, he damages each opponent so everyone attack him (I compare this to archer who attacks only one enemy so he doesn´t mind beeing flanked because only one enemy usually attacks him).

Reminds me of the elementalist proposed earlier, but more balanced, I think, and lower overhead. Should be a winner. Probably won't add more quasis for a bit yet, but I'll revist this one when I do.

Eeeeem, I don´t understand you very much.
Storm Master is a winner or Deep Elementalist?

[FunkySwerve]

Storm Master. Deep Elementalisat had too much script overhead and was overpowered to boot.

I would like to make this build perfect so I have a few more suggestions.
Strom Master´s main (and probably the only one) attack is Ice Strom. He has nice damage with it, but it´s quite easy to have resistance against it, because:
-he has lower spell level...max 56 (48 druid + 8 feats)
-Ice Strom is only 5th level of spells
My suggestion:
-6th level: Level 23 of druid
-7th level: Level 28 of druid
-8th level: Level 28 of druid + 5 LL
-9th level: Level 25 of druid + 10 LL

His another power is damage flexibility, but he can have only 3 damage types per day, because he can´t use items in shifted form. That means he must unshift, use current stone and shift to Rakshasa (3x/day) again. (1st damage, 1st shift, unshift, 2nd damage, 2nd use, etc.).
-making unlimited number of shift at level 40? Giving him "stones" usable in shifted form (are there any or only potions?)?
-or this can be another weakness?

From Thread - Dachy:

The only other 40-50 area has SR that puts you out of the party on the major mobs (desert = 65 on scorps and 70 on devs

I´m getting a bit scared with SR 58 against 70...

[thedomicron]

there is a druid LL spell which lowers SR by 20 for 20 rounds, but i dunno how well that would work on non-boss mobs, on account of you can only use it once/day.

i know this thread may be on ice at the moment due to the reincarnation and what not but heres a rough idea....due to the fact im currently at work trying to get BLS instructor qualled.... but whats the thoughts on a true fallen pally? more to follow tomorrow. but before is it possible to change pali lvls to go to black guard? like have a full blak guard? that would be hella sweet but still have the pali specials. like lvl 25 pali min to get the angel or rezz, then "fall from grace" and from then on all lvls bg or what not, after reaching LL the CC class become bg cause you know how evil is always trying to get the powers of good to be awesome...or ok ill be back with more tomorrow
