Description
Gnome druid 10
Before Combat: The druid casts barkskin and cat’s grace. She casts endure elements every morning.
During Combat: The druid keeps her distance from opponents. She casts freedom of movement, then wild shapes into an air elemental to fly away. Once she feels she has the tactical advantage, she relies on summon spells and ranged abilities to avoid melee.
Base Statistics: Without barkskin and cat’s grace, the druid’s statistics are Init +5; AC 23, touch 13, flat-footed 22; Ref +7; Ranged dart +9/+4 (1d3–2); Dex 12; CMD 16; Skills Fly +5.
Typically found in arid regions, these druids use magic to supply others with water for a price.
Sasrukutenek: Sasrukutenek sells water at a trade stop on the overland route between two desert cities. She overcharges for this commodity, but since it’s so scarce, her customers have very little choice.
