1e or 2e Druid Spells - Being Creative?

This past Saturday, my group gamed, I used "Transmute Mud to Rock" to trap ghouls and skeletal mages as they were emerging from mud. As the DM said they were rising, I cast the spell, and they all got trapped in rock, where my group was able to pick them off easy as wooden ducks. ;D

Good play LWW. Bet that caught him off guard.
;D

Lets say the dm was not too happy with that little trick....but he did give me 1,000 extra XP for out-thinking him. ;D

don't forget little wooden boxes and firetrap when used with a sling give a good nasty ranged weapon

any other stupid druid tricks.

I messed up another trap laid by our DM. He set up an underwater trap, long wooden spikes laid across the swamp we were travelling in. Our group had no choice but to travel in the water. All of a sudden he tells me and OW(we were leading the group) to make a saving throw, and we made it. So he tells us about the trap ahead. I cast warp wood and destroyed all the spikes (I'm 9th level, so could reach the trap end to end), and no, he was not very happy about that one either.

But I done good. ;D

Druids are very nice in the wilderness. Have had several that I liked.

Not doing too well turning into animals though. One session I turned into a bear before melee, and didn't even get another turn before the whole thing was over.

Last session, turned into a bear and jumped a giant skeleton, but missed her saving throw, slid down the skeleton into the swamp, and then got knocked unconcious by a tree the thing was swinging around.

Poor bear....gets no respect.

this session however, ou'll really need to use that nogen of yours, all kinds of logic puzzle fun hehehe, druid spells can't save you now.

seriously though I think that you are coming around as a player just great, keep those crazy idea's coming, and i'll keep makin crazy scenerios

In an old game where we still used the set spells in memory rule, we had a Druid who was stuck, at the end of a series of long combats, as the last man standing (and at less than 10 hit points) against an ogre who was fresh and just entering combat. The Druid's scimitar was broken and he was down to one last spell; Sticks to Snakes.

To make a long story short, he had a staff in reach but another thought came to him, the arrows in the quiver of the dead ranger at his feet. He quickly whipped them out and cast the spell. He rolled a three for the random number of snakes and had seven for his level and got horribly lucky... with a 35% chance of getting poisonous sankes he got eight that were with two of those being "dust asps" which he then thrust, as a mass, into the on rushing ogres face. The ogre made four of the eight poison saves, but that was not nearly enough of course. Dead ogre, the rest of the party saved and the standard DM award for thinking on his feet and saving the entire party.

D&D can be a hell of alot of fun.

-SwoonS!-

Druids are absolutely my favorite character in D&D. I have an immortal. Of course she's been sitting in the old characters folder for ...5 years now?

What I really hated about second edition from first were the spells.

Instead of keeping all the spells separated, they threw em all together. IE. Preist spells and Druid spells were thrown together...Illusionists...etc. Nothing seemed as -dedicated- to one class if you understand. lol.

Then again, I've been playin since it started...I had the softcovered original at one point. = D

And the ONE spell that I won't allow anyone other than a druid to possess in any of my games is Finger of Death.
That spell should only be able to be had by a true neutral character anyway..= )

Man, I miss D&D...but I so thirst for the night..and can't stand Ravenloft.

>.<

-goes off to sulk.-
