I replied to the original poster on the Perrenland group - but thought that it was equally valid to share my thoughts with this group also. Although I suspect...
My character is pure druid and I have always focussed on equiping her animal companion. Right now her Tiger is barded in Adamantine Chain Shirt +1 Death Ward...
... I haven't had a DM disallow armor proficiency in war-trained animals. On the few occasions where a question arose, I pointed out the Animal type...
I have to agree that barding on any animal companion is acceptable, and usually expected by other players & GM's. I had a GM suggest barding for my druids...
Okay, now maybe its a failure of imagination on my part, but how do you put barding on a snake? My animal companion is almost always (with the exception of a...
I checked with two members of our triad and they confirmed that any animal companion can wear barding, even if not war trained. If they aren't war trained,...
Speaking up as the orginal poster's wife here, he didn't come across clearly either. He thought it was hilarious when someone suggested he buy barding for his...
Boo Hiss Slither away... ... -- Heather Eberhardt www.xvart.com heathere3.blogspot.com Please consider yourself, now and henceforth, and no matter what anyone...
... Don't be silly... scale mail wouldn't be nearly flexible enough. What he needs is a giant slinky! It's Slinky! It's Slinky! Fun armor for your pet snake ...
Did you hear about the druid funeral director? She had her snake animal companion guard the funeral procession as it moved the body from the grove to the...
Easy, the barding is called "mage armor"... :-p :-) I could also see a neck slot item, or Ioun Stones working for the snake. Farrell (can't picture any of...
... But if you really care for your animal companion that much and can't put barding on it, you would spring for the Pearl of Power 3 and the 25 gold for...
ok, i have no sandstorm druid, but some players around me have. so has there been any anouncement whether the "standard" druid's spontaneous casting of "summon...
I actually emailed Creighton Broadhurst to ask about spontaneously casting Summon Desert ally before making my druid. You CANNOT spontaneously cast Summon...
I'd be quite surprised that you'd reach level 5 without playing a single game outside of the bright desert. The LGCS is clear on this, only PHB animals. ... ...
but the Bright Lands region gives access to the desert druid class, which gives access to the animals in Sandstorm. My asherati is a standard druid, though,...
In LG you only have access to what is written, you can't assume. The paper doesn't give you access to Sand Storm Wyldshape so you don't have it, it seems...
... BoBS sourcebook, page 3: "/Sandstorm/ also presents several alternate versions of existing classes. New Bright Lands characters may elect to make use of...
... And yet, there seems to be no logic to this. You can only change into forms that your character is familiar with. If you can't change into the same form as...
Exacly. And you could dismiss your druid Companion and get a new and different type each time so you would have seen every Sandstorm kind there is in a short...
No, for the same reason that a Wizard can't copy a limited access spell from another wizard's spell book or that even if you encounter a special animal/plant...
... You would think it would, wouldn't you? It seems very reasonable and logical. On the otherhand it's reasonable and logical so the answer is no ;) A friend...
Yup, same thing for me with my Thousand Faces power, can't Ater Self in a Norker or a Daakon either ... Heck I have access to some pretty dangerous horses as...
