Druid of Wood and Flame

Green Scourge is an interesting Druid archetype, focusing on Shillelagh and Flame Blade oddly enough, but I hope I've done it decently enough when I've slapped it onto an Elf.

Acharriel [Sindarin: "Daughter of Avenger"/"Fiery Person"]

"For the Wilds!"

by Joseph Whitman

Not all druids spend their days tending gardens and fostering forest creatures. There are some of a more militant sect that devote themselves to purging the taint of unnatural creatures from the wilds of the world. These Green Scourges are masters at harnessing nature's wrath, channeling it into mighty oaken clubs and blades of pure flame.

When Acharriel meditates each morning, it is to beseech the Will of the World to make her its avatar of vengeance. She works herself into a righteous fury, thinking of all the harm such abominations will do if left unchecked, and channels her rage into all-consuming flame that will purify the wilds of their presence.

Wiser and more peaceful druids are not fond of the Scourges, but recognize the need for their brand of verdant vengeance. Such individuals stay clear of Scourge Circles, letting them do their business unimpeded and then cleansing the aftermath with restorative magics.

Acharriel is ever vigilant, and once she has decided an element must be purged, it will take quite a bit of convincing from any non-druid to sway her hand. She adheres to the counsel of other druids and respects their judgment, knowing that while her rage is her greatest strength, it can also blind her from the details and the bigger picture.

Green Scourge Archetype

Nature’s Armaments

A green scourge can lose a prepared 1st- or 2nd-level spell in order to cast shillelagh or flame blade, respectively. She can instead choose to lose a higher-level spell in order to increase the enhancement bonus of her shillelagh, or to add any of the following weapon special abilities to her shillelagh or flame blade: bane (aberrations only), frost, mighty cleaving, returning, shock, throwing, or vicious. If the target weapon is a quarterstaff, these bonuses apply to only one of its ends. If a flame blade gains the frost or shock special ability, the base damage of the spell changes to match the energy type; neither a flame blade nor shillelagh can gain both of these special abilities. A green scourge cannot add the throwing property to a flame blade unless she also adds the returning property.

When adding weapon special abilities or increasing the enhancement bonus, the final level of the spell expended is 1 higher than the base spell level (2nd for shillelagh and 3rd for flame blade), increased by the additional special abilities’ total base price modifier. For example, creating an aberration–bane vicious flame blade requires spending a 5th-level spell slot, which also counts as a 5th-level spell for purposes of dispelling.

This ability alters spontaneous casting.

Aberration Sense (Ex)

At 1st level, a green scourge adds Knowledge (dungeoneering) to her class skills and gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (dungeoneering) checks.

This replaces nature sense.

Scentless (Ex)

At 3rd level, a green scourge cannot be detected or tracked with the scent ability or any other special senses that rely on acute smell. She can choose to exude a scent if desired.

This ability replaces trackless step.

Resist Unnatural Influence (Ex)

At 4th level, a green scourge gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against aberrations’ spell-like abilities, supernatural abilities, and poisons.

This replaces resist nature’s lure.
