Druidic Magic!!!

[Grong]

Does anyone have any rules on druidic magic?

[Verrain]

All depends on what you mean by druidic magic of course.

You consider Nature a substitute for a deity and simply use the faith rules.

You can decide that a druid taps the forces of nature just like a sorcerer does and simply use the spell rules and abstractions to make nature like spells.

I personally like the idea of using the summoning rules from the magic burner since it is already set up for talking to spirits of the wild and then add a few druid LP only traits to give the easier affinity with nature. Haven't quite gotten them to where I want to but that's my pondering to date.

Hey, Grong!

I did up some classic D+D-type Druid spells. You can find them here. (http://www.burningwheel.org/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=27&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0)

It really depends on what you're looking for, I think. Are you trying to go for a more historical feel? Or more along the lines of a D&D Druid? If it's the latter, Kublai's stuff is great. If it's the former, that's a lot more problematic because we have almost no evidence of what that might have constituted. Caesar wiped 'em out.

I think Verrain's suggestion is probably the best. Go for a straight Summoner focused on Nameless spirits, and throw in a bunch of Astrology, Herbalism, and maybe Poison.

Through experience, I would suggest you not try to be both a Summoner AND a Sorcerer. It's too Resource Point intensive. If you really want to go the Sorcerer route though, there are a lot of good spells for a "Nature" Magician that's also pretty politically savvy.

You'll want stuff like Arcane Kindness, Beseech Storm, Breath of Wind, Cat's Eye, Chameleon, The Courage, Delerium Tremens, Dog's Ear, The Fear, Grey Cloak, Horror, Low Speech, Persuasion, Rainstorm, Sarch's Glare, Sight of the Eagle, Storm of Lightning, Thunderclap, Valor, Wave, Whisper on the Wind, Windlash, Wisdom of the Ancients, and Wolf Snout.
