4th Level Druid Spells

Animal Summoning I (Conjuration/Summoning)

Range: 4"/level
Duration: Special
Area of Effect: Special
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 6 segments
Saving Throw: None

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell, the druid calls up to eight animals of whatever sort the druid names when the summoning is made, if such type are within spell range. These animals can have no more than four hit dice each. The animals summoned will aid the druid by whatever means they possess, staying until a fight is over, a specific mission is finished, the druid is safe, he or she sends them away, etc. The druid may try three times to summon three different sorts of animals, i.e. suppose that wild dogs are first summoned to no avail, then hawks are unsuccessfully called, and finally the druid calls for wild horses which may or may not be within summoning range. Your referee will determine probabilities if the presence of a summoned animal type is not known. Other than various sorts of giant animals, fantastic animals or monsters cannot be summoned by this spell, i.e. no chimerae, dragons, gorgons, manticores, etc.


Call Woodland Beings (Conjuration/Summoning)

Range: 12" + 1"/level
Duration: Special
Area of Effect: Special
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: Special
Saving Throw: Neg.

Explanation/Description: By means of this spell the druid is able to summon certain woodland creatures to his or her location. Naturally, this spell will only work outdoors, but not necessarily only in wooded areas. The druid begins the incantation, and the spell must be continued uninterrupted until some called creature appears or 2 turns have elapsed. (The verbalization and somatic gesturing are easy, so this is not particularly exhausting to the spell caster.) Only 1 type of the following sorts of beings can be summoned by the spell, and they will come only if they are within the range of the call:

2 - 8 brownies
1 - 4 satyrs
1 - 4 centaurs
1 - 6 sprites
1 - 4 dryads
1 treant
1 - 8 pixies
1 unicorn

(Your referee will consult his outdoor map or base the probability of any such creature being within spell range upon the nature of the area the druid is in at the time of spell casting.)

The creature(s) called by the spell are entitled to a saving throw versus magic (at -4) to avoid the summons. Any woodland being answering the call will be favorably disposed to the spell caster and give whatever aid it is capable of. However, if the caller or members of the callers' party are of evil alignment, the creatures are entitled to another saving throw versus magic (this time at +4) when they come within 1" of the druid or other evil character with him or her, and these beings will seek immediately to escape if the saving throw is successful. In any event, if the druid requests that the summoned creatures engage in combat on behalf of the druid, they are required to make a loyalty reaction score based on the druids' charisma and whatever dealings he or she has had with the called creature(s). The material components of this spell are a pinecone and 8 holly berries.

The illusionary forest appears to be perfectly natural and is indistinguishable from a real forest. Other druids - as well as such creatures as centaurs, dryads, green dragons, nymphs, satyrs, and treants - will recognize the forest for what it is. All other creatures will believe it is there, and movement and order of march will be affected accordingly. The hallucinatory forest will remain until it is magically dispelled by a reverse of the spell or a dispel magic. The area shape is either rectangular or square, in general, at least 4" deep, and in whatever location the druid casting the spell desires. The forest can be of less than maximum area if the druid wishes. One of its edges will appear up to 8" away from the druid, according to the desire of the spell caster.

3) it prevents vegetable matter from making any sound or movement which is not caused by wind.

The spell effects apply to all forms of vegetation, including parasitic and fungoid types, and those magically animated or otherwise magically empowered. It affects such monsters as green slime, molds of any sort, shambling mounds, shriekers, treants, etc. The duration of a hold plant spell is 1 melee round per level of experience of the druid casting the spell. It affects from 1 to 4 plants - or from 4 to 16 square yards of small ground growth such as grass or mold. If but one plant (or 4 square yards) is chosen as the target for the spell by the druid, the saving throw of the plant (or area of plant growth) is made at a -4 on the die; if two plants (or 8 square yards) are the target, saving throws are at -2; if three plants (or 12 square yards) are the target, saving throws are at -1; and if the maximum of 4 plants (or 16 square yards of area) are the target, saving throws are normal.

The plant door is open only to the druid who cast the spell, druids of a higher level, or dryads. The door even enables the druid to enter into a solid tree trunk and remain hidden there until the spell ends. If the tree is cut down or burned, the druid must leave before the tree falls or is consumed, or else he or she is killed also.
