* The point behind this build is to have a Small Stature for fun. You won't be able to wear a shield. This is for robes only. This is a fun build not to be taken too serious. See my Fallen Angel version if you want to play a more pristine druid build.

* Low-light Vision: Allows them to see better than normal in the dark.

Special: Gnomes are small creatures and as such they can never use the following Large weapons: bastard sword, dire mace, two-bladed sword, double axe, greataxe, greatsword, halberd, heavy flail, longbow, quarterstaff, scythe and spear.

MAX GNOME WISDOM Calculations::
-----------------------------
18(base) +10(lvl40) +10(GW8) +10(LL) +12(Items\Spells) = 60WIS

MAX SAVES Calculations::
-----------------------------
Fort: +12[20Druid] +8[MaxCON] +10[Epic] +5[LL] +20[ITEMS] = 55
Ref: +6[20Druid] +9[MaxDEX] +10[Epic] +5[LL] +20[ITEMS] = 50
Will: +12[20Druid] +25[MaxWIS] +10[Epic] +5[LL] +20[ITEMS] = 72

Fortitude: 55, Reflex: 50, Will: 72

Summons:
Added new epic summons for druids, in lieu of placing creatures in each area for them to empathize. You will need to be a 21st level or higher druid, and get an item by praying at the great tree in the druid circle. The item itself only works for druids of level 25 and up, summoning creatures of increasing power at levels 30, 35, 40, and 50. Legendary levels count towards unlocking more powerful summons if the character's control class is druid, but you must still have at least 21 druid levels to get the item.

[My Picks] Epic Spells Schools @60: Conjuration, Transmutation, Abjuration

Well your number one problem with this build is you won't be able to wear a druid staff and a shield when using a small race, which is a big impediment. If I'm not mistaken there is at least one druid fashion accessory but it's not available until the hells and I think it would be a terrible impediment to have to try and choose between a staff and a shield for 90% of your character's existence, even with a monk level it will leave you with questionable AC and the lack of a pally level is making you waste feats on saves, feats you can't really afford.

For other issues with feats and skills see post in other druid thread

I'm aware of that. This is a robe druid though. So a shield and armor wouldn't fit for him. So all that he needs is a staff to hold onto. The feats are well placed. I took three feats out of the entire build for saves. I could use them for another Spell school.

Even if you wern't planning on wearing a shield you would still be unable to hold a torch/flag with your staff. I just don't think it would be worth it to gain small stature and give up your off-hand item.

Indeed I don't agree either, but that style of play is for fun. I was making a more fun build then serious but I will rewrite it in the morning to include other races. I was working on my fallen angel build before I went back to this one and finished it.

*added - changed my mind on changing the race and just want to keep this for fun.

[ZeroGravitySE]

Updated to 1.01SAM
- Changed the feats around based off the Druid Fallen Angel Build v1.02FA
- The small race will stay the same and this build will be for that race only, as I intended.
- Changed title to show that this is no longer V2 of my Rogue-Druid
- This build is for fun, and maybe someday small druids will be safe to play.
- This is my final build for this, I don't see much I can change if you want to comment on changes, pls do, but the race stays. Its not the best, but that wasn't my point to make the best.

**** - ADDED - A couple fixes for the build to make it playable. This build is for fun only! If you like gnomes, and you like druids this build is for you! Remember you can't wear a shield, and you'll be weaker then a medium or large race at the higher levels. But you get better protection spells, and Monk AC to make up for that.
