Cavestalker Druid Questions

[Bubbajoe]

Making a new character and I wanted to try something that I haven't done before. Cavestalker caught my eye, and since I have a strong aversion to dual-wielding, I'm going to use Druid and focus on the Vermin Shape ability.

Some questions:

1. Do any of the drow deities allow druid worshippers?

2. According to the NWN2 wiki, creatures with natural weapons only get one attack per natural weapon, regardless of BAB. Does this apply to wildshaped forms? Also, if this applies, will haste grant extra attacks?


In case you guys feel like doing the mental exercise of building a character, I'm doing a half-drow. D20/CS4/??. I want to come up with something to add in for those last six levels to augment the abilities of the spider. I'm also enjoying the exercise myself, so I'll be avoiding full builds so my theorizing remains fun. I'll check out your builds later.

Thanks!

1) No. But you could pick a deity such as Grumbar, Kossuth, Istishia, or Akadi. (These are the Elemental Deities.) Ibrandul could be a good choice too, another is Talona.

2) You get attacks based on BAB.

3) Get more levels of Cavesalker, as that makes your spider form stronger.

I had considered more cavestalker, but was willing to give up one of the stat progressions to add in something else. I guess if I'm going to do that I should do D20/CS6.

Also, does the poison DC scale?

[Sun Wukong]

Or Druid 24/Cavestalker 6.

As for poison DC, no idea, those tend to use default values. But the more attacks you land, the more chances the enemy has to roll low.

The poison DC scales off of INT, though my testing on this was done a couple years ago. It might have changed since then. I did a Cave Stalker/Druid/Assassin build at that time and went for INT instead of WIS. It ended up with some 30-32 DC for its poison and 30 DC on its death attack. Though, with the CL Fix, it gets dispelled really easily. And its spell DCs sucked due to the focus on INT over WIS.

It seems now to work off of Cavestalker levels.
