Druzardonk - 36 point Shiradi 17 Druid / 2 Monk / 1 Wizard

[Deathdefy]

***Warning: Has throwing feats***

Goal = CC and Healing in EE.

I want max Evoc DC to CC in EE. Similarly, I'm taking all the healing jazz (Empower Healing + Quicken at least), and I'd be frustrated if I didn't take Max + Emp for Creeping Cold, so full heal capacity is there.

I'm taking 2 Monk Levels since Ocean Stance offsets losing the +2 Wis capstone, and grants evasion and much needed feats.

From there, I don't really see the point in taking Druid 18 over just Druid 17. I'd rather have the extra feat from Wizard 1, the extra 40 spell points Wizard 1 grants over Druid 18, the force enhancement (allegedly granted at level 1 not level 2 per the wiki), and the ability to spam 4 SP magic missiles in shiradi.

Despite these constraints, I still have a few feats to play with thanks to the bonus feats from human and the splash classes. Naturally, I am using most of them for shurikens (Quick Draw + Shuriken Expertise).

In all seriousness, spell points will be very tight even just considering Healing and Crowd Control from Earthquake depending on what role I'm doing. While I'll DoT where I can if I think I can afford it, the consistent safe damage from (Double Rainbow + Shiradi Procs + Spelltouched) shurikens is an alternative I like for a character I don't envisage as a dpser.

So, the build:

36 point Human
STR 12
DEX 16
CON 14
INT 8
WIS 18 + Level-Ups
CHA 8

Feats:
1 Druid 1 Empower, Maximize
2 Druid 2
3 Monk 1 Completionist, Shuriken Expertise
4 Druid 3
5 Druid 4
6 Druid 5 Quickdraw
7 Druid 6
8 Druid 7
9 Druid 8 Empower Healing
10 Druid 9
11 Druid 10
12 Druid 11 PL: Wizard
13 Druid 12
14 Druid 13
15 Monk 2 Heighten Spell, Toughness (Evasion)
16 Druid 14
17 Druid 15
18 Druid 16 SF: Evocation
19 Druid 17
20 Wiz 1 Quicken Spell
21 Epic 1 GSF: Evocation
24 Epic 4 ESF: Evocation

The levelling order is a bit odd. I wanted Monk early since handwraps for levelling in wolf form yay, but the number of feats with pre-reqs (like meta-magics requiring a caster level and Quick Draw requiring BAB +1) meant I couldn't actually take it at first. Beyond that, I don't think anything is particularly odd.

If you don't have Completionist and PL: Wizard but want to make this thing, I'd probably grab the Mental Toughnesses.

On that, if I am disappointed with the performance of shurikens, I'll swap out the throwing feats in favour of Mental Toughness, etc. Maybe pick up Stunning Fist in place of Shuriken Expertise, though I'm not super excited about hanging out in melee.

Enchancements I'm unsure. DC things. Wis. Cold damage. I honestly am not particularly on top of Druid enhancements since my 'Druid life' only had 7 druid levels.



EDIT: Will make it some day. Still want to play a wizard though despite DC casting being sup par right now. Think I will roll 'The Arch Monkcher' below instead.

The real niche it solves is what to do between 10k stars and Manyshot timers. Spam force SLAs and spells!

I'm tempted to make a separate thread for this but meh. This can just be a weird builds fest.
