The Animal Companion list has Dire Eagle listed at available at 7th level, but my copy of Races of Stone says it's available at 4th level. I cannot find any errata on Races of Stone, either.
Don't you need to be raptoran for that to apply? No. Here's the text, straight from my PDF. "Dire Eagles as Animal Companions A dire eagle may be selected as an animal companion by a druid of 4th level or higher. Treat the druid’s level as three lower than normal for the purpose of deter- mining the companion’s characteristics and spe- cial abilities." |

I see what has happened here, move to page 189 "Dire Hawks as Animal Companions A raptoran who has the animal companion class feature can choose a dire hawk as an alternate animal companion when his effective level for the animal companion class feature is 4th or higher. The raptoran’s effective druid level for determining the dire hawk’s abilities is reduced by three." |

Dire Hawk in Races of the Wild is 7th level for non-raptorans, but Dire Eagles in Races of Stone are 4th level for everyone.

Is there a compiled list of nonstandard summons for SNA I-IX? i.e. summons from books besides MMI like the storm elemental.

Holy Orders of the Stars (Dragonlance book) has the Wild Fury of Schilev on pg. 58.
You need to be able to cast Greater Magic Fang and have Endurance and Toughness.
It has 10/10 Casting, 10/10 Wildshape (Full), no AC, and you get a TON of class features.
Class Features include:
5 bonus feats from a good list. Ex: Natural Spell, Multiattack, Improved Natural Attack, Improved Critical...
+20' Speed while Wildshaped.
Constant Greater Magic Fang.

For the ones in Fiend Folio where does it give the list? I don't see it in the monster entries. |

Well, look again. E.g., for bloodthorn, page 24, left column, line 4 and 5.

Does anyone think that adding Spell Focus (Conjuration) and Augment Summoning as prerequisites for Greenbound Summoning might make it be a bit more balanced?

No. It was originally intended to be a +2 metamagic, which would make it much less of a no brainier pick. |

"Prerequisite: a feat you were going to take anyway" is not much of a balancing factor. |

"Prerequisite: a feat you were going to take anyway" is not much of a balancing factor. Sure it is, it means you get that feat that many levels later. Its always seemed dishonest to me to bloat a good feat by requiring you to take mediocre and/unrelated feats as a balance mechanism. Thank god for Dodge variants! |

Hi All,
I'm brand new and this is my first post. Thanks for having me.
I have a PVP match coming up on Nov 12th. EL12 and I've drawn Druid. But I've never played one before.
I've taken a look at the Handbook, but was confused by a coupple of things. The Anthropomorphic Bat example given as a Druid Archer looks good, but I'm confused about items. How can the Wildshape Briarvex form have the items it does without the Bat form having them too? Wouldn't the items have to be Wild or have Wilding Clasps attached? And how cold the Bat form hold a Monk's Belt, Bracers, Composite GreatBow?
Thanks in advance. I'm loving these forums.

I can't answer all of that, but you can definitely put a belt around a bat. anthropomorphic bats have arms, AND wings, not just wings that also have arms. You're like a normal human, except you have bat wings sprouting from your shoulders and a bat-head. Check the Anthropomorphic template in Savage Species. Essentially, no change in body slots, at all. Want washboard abs and bat wings? You've got it! |

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.
Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY! They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.
Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.
Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time. I give you much fu. Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie. |

I don't have a copy of SS, or many 3E books. But I can get a hold of one. Thanks for the answer. That makes sense. I thought they were actual animals with human-like characteristics.
Thanks everyone.
