Range: 100' + 10'/level

Animate Object

Druid 3

Duration: 1 round/level

Part Water

Immediately upon completion of the spell, and at most

once per round thereafter, the caster may call down a 5-

foot-wide, 30-foot-long, vertical bolt of lightning that deals

3d6 points of electricity damage. The bolt of lightning

flashes down in a vertical stroke at whatever target point

the caster chooses within the spell’s range (measured from

the caster's position at the time of casting). Any creature in

the target area or in the path of the bolt is affected. A

successful save vs. Spells reduces damage taken by half.

Reincarnation

Pass Tree

Weather Summoning

Word of Recall

DESCRIPTION OF NEW SPELLS

Animal Friendship

Range: 30'

The caster needs not call a bolt of lightning immediately;

other actions, even spellcasting, can be performed.

However, each round after the first the caster may choose

to call a bolt instead of taking some other normal action.

The caster may call a total number of bolts equal to one-

third of his or her caster level, rounded down.

Druid 1

Duration: permanent

Upon encountering a normal or giant-sized (but not

magical) animal, the caster may begin casting this spell,

which requires an hour to complete. During this period the

animal will remain nearby, and will not attack the caster or

his or her allies for the duration of the casting (so long as

they do not attack or otherwise disturb it). At the end of

the casting, if the animal rolls a successful save vs. Spells,

the spell has failed. At this point the animal acts naturally,

without bearing the caster any special ill-will.

If the caster is are outdoors and in a stormy area — a rain

shower, clouds and wind, hot and cloudy conditions, or

even a tornado (including a whirlwind formed by a djinni

or an air elemental) — each bolt deals 3d8 points of

damage instead of 3d6.

If the animal fails its save, it becomes an animal friend and

joins the caster for the rest of its natural life, assisting in any

way it can. Both the caster and any other animal friends

are treated as treasured partners. There is no arcane

mental connection, nor any particular control, but rather a

strong fraternal bond which should go both ways. If the

animal is treated poorly, or it's love not returned over a

period of time, it can attempt another save vs. Spells at the

GM's discretion.

This spell functions only where the open sky is accessible,

generally meaning outdoors; bolts may be summoned

through windows or skylights at the GM's discretion.

Call Woodland Beings Range : 120’

Druid 4

Duration: 1 rd./level

This spell summons woodland creatures. They appear

where the caster designates and act immediately, on his or

her turn (they cannot be summoned into an environment

that cannot support them). They attack the caster

opponents to the best of their ability. If the caster can

communicate with the creatures, he or she can direct them

not to attack, to attack particular enemies or to perform

other actions.

A caster may only have, at most, twice his or her level in

hit dice of animal friends . If this spell is cast on an animal

that would put the total above that number, it has no

effect.

Assume Animal Form

Druid 3

The spell conjures one type of creatures (caster choice)

from this list :

Range: Self

- 4 Centaurs

Duration 1 hour/level

- 16 Pixies

This spell allows the caster to change into the form of any

natural animal. The assumed animal form cannot have

more hit dice than the caster's level. If slain, the caster

reverts back to his or her original form.

- 2 Treants

- Or 4 Unicorns

This spell only works outdoors in a natural location (not in

town or any structure).

The caster gains the physical capabilities and statistics of

the new form but retains his or her own mental abilities.

The caster may remain transformed up to one hour per

level, or end the spell earlier if he or she so desires.

DRUIDS

A BASIC FANTASY SUPPLEMENT

Commune With Nature

Druid 5

Detect Snares and Pits

Druid 1

Range : see text

Duration : instantaneous

Range: 60'

Duration: 10 turns

The caster becomes one with nature, attaining knowledge

of the surrounding territory. After 10 minutes of

concentration, the caster instantly gains knowledge of one

fact per caster level among the following subjects : the

ground or terrain, plants, minerals, bodies of water,

people, general animal population, presence of woodland

creatures, presence of powerful unnatural creatures,

presence of settlement or structure or even the general

state of the natural setting.

By means of this spell, the caster can detect simple pits,

deadfalls, and snares as well as mechanical traps

constructed of natural materials. The spell does not detect

complex traps, including trapdoor traps.

This spell does detect certain natural hazards, for instance

quicksand (detected as a snare), a sinkhole (a pit), or

unsafe walls of natural rock (a deadfall). However, it does

not reveal other potentially dangerous conditions. The

spell does not detect magic traps (except those that operate

by pit, deadfall, or snaring), nor mechanically complex

ones, nor those that have been rendered safe or inactive.

In outdoor settings, the spell operates in a radius of 1 mile

per caster level. In natural underground settings – caves,

caverns, and the like – the radius is limited to 100 feet per

caster level. The spell does not function where nature has

been replaced by construction or settlement, such as in

dungeons and towns.

The amount of information revealed depends on how long

the druid studies a particular area.

1st Round: Presence or absence of hazards.

2nd Round: Number of hazards and the location of each. If

a hazard is outside the druid's line of sight, then the caster

discern its direction but not its exact location.

Control Temperature, 10' Radius

Druid 4

Range : 0

Duration : 1 hour/level

Each Additional Round: The general type and trigger for

one particular hazard closely examined by the caster.

The caster can change automatically the surrounding

temperature (10’ radius sphere) by up to 10 degrees

Fahrenheit per caster level. The change can be upward or

downward (caster’s choice).

Each round, the druid can turn to detect snares and pits in

a new area. The spell can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of

stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3

feet of wood or dirt blocks it.

Control Winds

Range: 0 (see text)

Druid 5

Duration: 10 minutes/level

Entangle

Range: 200'

The caster alters wind force around him or her (40’ per

caster level radius cylinder 40’ high). The caster can make

the wind blow in a certain direction or manner, increase its

strength, or decrease its strength. The new wind direction

and strength persist until the spell ends or until the caster

chooses to alter it, which requires concentration. The caster

may create an “eye” of calm air up to 40’ radius around

him or her and may choose to limit the area of effect to

any cylindrical area less than his or her full limit.

Druid 1

Duration: 3 rounds per level

This spell causes grasses, trees, bushes, shrubs, or other

plants to entwine around creatures in a 10'x10' area. Most

creatures within the area move at ¼ normal speed; very

large and/or very strong creatures (at least as big or strong

as a giant or dragon) move at ½ normal speed. Entangled

creatures may not attack nor take most actions other than

movement due to the interference of the enchanted plants.

The caster may choose wind patterns over the spell’s area.

He or she can choose a downdraft blows from the center

outward, an updraft blows from the outer edges in toward

the center, a rotation that causes the winds to circle the

center or a blast that simply causes the winds to blow in

one direction across the entire area from one side to the

other.

Flame Strike

Range : 60'

Druid 5

Duration : instantaneous

A Flame strike produces a vertical column of divine fire

roaring downward (cylinder of 10' radius, 30' high). The

spell deals 6d8 points of damage to any creatures within

the area of effect. A save vs. Spells for half damage is

allowed.

For every three caster levels, the caster can increase or

decrease wind condition by one level (as described in the

Waterborne Adventures section of the Basic Fantasy RPG

Core Rules).

A BASIC FANTASY SUPPLEMENT

DRUIDS

Heat Metal

Plant Growth

Range: 25'

Range: special

Druid 2

Duration: 7 rounds

Druid 3

Duration: permanent

This spell causes a single item made of ferrous (iron-based)

metal to become hot for a brief period of time. The

affected item is warm to the touch immediately, and then

becomes progressively hotter each round as indicated on

the table below. The damage roll indicated is applied to

any creature holding or wearing the affected item; a brief

touch does no damage.

This spell causes normal vegetation (grasses, briars,

bushes, creepers, thistles, trees, vines) within 400 feet + 40

feet per caster level to become thick and overgrown. The

plants entwine to form a thicket or jungle that creatures

must hack or force a way through. Speed drops to 5 feet,

or 10 feet for Large or larger creatures. The area must

have brush and trees in it for this spell to take effect. An

area up to 100 ' radius may be thus altered. Also, the

caster may specify an area (a path, a clearing, etc.) within

the given area of effect which is not so affected.

Range: 0 ft.

Druid 2

Duration: 1 min./level

Hold Animal

Range: 180'

Flames as bright as a torch appear in your open hand. The

flames harm neither you nor your equipment.

Druid 3

Duration: 2d8 turns

This spell functions like hold person, except that it affects

only animals. Specifically, this means non-magical living

creatures of animal intelligence, including giant sized

animals. A save vs. Spells is allowed to resist this spell.

In addition to providing illumination, the flames can be

hurled or used to touch enemies. You can strike an

opponent with a melee touch attack, dealing fire damage

equal to 1d6 +1 point per caster level (maximum +5).

Alternatively, you can hurl the flames up to 120 feet as a

thrown weapon. When doing so, you attack with a ranged

touch attack (with no range penalty) and deal the same

damage as with the melee attack. No sooner do you hurl

the flames than a new set appears in your hand. Each

attack you make reduces the remaining duration by 1

minute. If an attack reduces the remaining duration to 0

minutes or less, the spell ends after the attack resolves.

Part Water

Range: 60'

Druid 6

Duration: 1 turn/level

This spell, when cast on a body of water, causes it to part.

This exposes a path that can be traversed as if it where dry

land. Note that this spell does not change the topography

of the bottom of the body of water, so the terrain my still

be difficult to cross. The caster is able to affect a body of

water up to 5 feet/caster level. The caster may dismiss this

spell at any time.

This spell does not function underwater.

Protection From Fire

Range: Touch

Pass Tree

Range: Touch

Druid 3

Duration: special

Druid 6

Duration: Instantaneous

If the caster touches himself or herself, this spell grants

temporary immunity to fire (normal and magic). When the

spell absorbs 12 points per caster level of magical fire

damage, it is discharged. Otherwise the spell lasts for 10

minutes per caster level.

This spell allows the caster and up to two others to teleport

between any two living trees on the same plane. The

caster choses a general location or a specific tree. The

caster must have personal knowledge of the specific tree or

general area that is the target destination.

If the spell is cast upon another creature than the caster,

protection from fire grants temporary immunity against

normal fire. The spell also offers a +4 bonus to saving

throws against magical fire and if the save is successful, the

creature suffers no damage (and only 25% if the save fails).

This version of the spell lasts for 10 minutes per caster

level.

Pass Without Trace

Range: Touch

Druid 1

Duration: 1 hour/level

This spell permits up to one creature per caster level to

move through any type of terrain, leaving neither footprints

nor scent. Tracking the subjects by nonmagical means is

thus rendered impossible.

DRUIDS

A BASIC FANTASY SUPPLEMENT

Protection From Lightning

Druid 4

If cast on a character who received lethal damage from

poison the previous round, the spell will remove that

round's poison damage only, and delay it for the duration

of the spell. Prior poison damage will remain unaffected,

but, as noted above, no further damage is accrued until the

spell lapses, and will never accrue if the poison is

neutralized while this spell is in effect. This will give the

poisoned victim an opportunity to seek a cure to neutralize

the poison before it is fatal.

Range : touch

Duration: special

This spell functions exactly like protection from fire , except

that that it protects against any sort of electrical or lightning

damage.

Rock to Mud

Range: 150'

Druid 5

Duration: permanent

Tree Sanctuary

Range: Touch

This spell turns natural, uncut or unworked rock of any sort

into an equal volume of mud; up to two 10 foot cubes per

caster level may be so transformed. Magical stone is not

affected by this spell. The depth of the mud created

cannot exceed 10 feet. A creature unable to levitate, fly,

or otherwise free itself from the mud sinks until hip- or

chest-deep, reducing its speed to 5 feet and causing it to

suffer a -2 penalty to attack rolls, saving throws, and AC.

Creatures large enough to walk on the bottom can wade

through the area at a speed of 5 feet, suffering none of the

other penalties given.

Druid 4

Duration: 1 turn/level

This spell enables a druid to create an invisible door in the

trunk of a tree that is visible only to dryads and other

druids. The tree must be at least 10' tall, planted into the

earth for this spell to work. Once the spell is complete, the

druid may enter the tree, effectively disappearing from

sight. Only one tree may be effected by Tree Door at a

time. Furthermore, this spell may only be cast on a tree

occupied by a dryad if the dryad allows it.

The druid is completely aware of his surroundings while in

the tree, gaining the bonus of 360-degree vision and

hearing, as well as being able to detect changes in the

immediate temperature surrounding the tree. The druid

may meditate to memorize spells in the tree. Another

benefit of this spell is that each turn the druid sleeps inside

the tree counts as a full hour of sleep. Also, if the tree is an

oak, the druid heals 1d4 hp per turn spent inside the tree.

If transmute rock to mud is cast upon the ceiling of a

cavern or tunnel, the mud falls to the floor and spreads out

in a pool to a depth of 5 feet. The falling mud and the

ensuing cave-in deal 8d6 points of damage to anyone

caught directly beneath the area, or half damage to those

who succeed at a save vs. Death Ray.

Castles and large stone buildings are generally immune to

the effect of the spell, since transmute rock to mud cannot

affect worked stone and doesn’t reach deep enough to

undermine such a buildings’ foundation. However, small

buildings or structures often rest upon foundations shallow

enough to be damaged or even partially toppled by this

spell.

The druid however loses the senses of taste, smell, and

touch and may not speak or cast spells while inside the

tree. The druid takes 1/2 of any damage the tree suffers,

and if the tree is destroyed or cut down, the druid is cast

out into the nearest available space.

The mud remains until a successful dispel magic or

transmute mud to rock spell restores its substance (though

not necessarily its form). Evaporation turns the mud to

normal dirt over a period of days. The exact time depends

on exposure to the sun, wind, and normal drainage.

Warp Wood

Range : 50’

Druid 2

Duration : instantaneous

The caster causes non-magic wood in a 20’ radius to bend

and warp, permanently destroying its straightness, form,

and strength. A warped door springs open or becomes

stuck. A boat or ship springs a leak. Warped weapons (like

bows and arrows) are useless. The caster may warp wood

object(s) up to 1’ in all side or its equivalent per caster

level.

Slow Poison

Range : touch

Druid 2

Duration : 1 hour/level

The creature touched by the caster becomes temporarily

immune to poison. Any poison in its system or any poison

to which it is exposed during the spell’s duration does not

affect the subject until the spell’s duration has expired.

Slow poison does not cure any damage that poison may

have already done, with exception of the following

circumstances.

Alternatively, the caster can “un-warp” non-magic wood

(effectively warping it back to normal), straightening wood

that has been warped by this spell or by other means. The

caster can combine multiple consecutive warp wood spells

to warp (or unwarp) an object that is too large to warp with

a single spell.
