another char idea

I have had this idea of making a kind of insane druid that focuses on posionous spores... and MAYBE even the actual rot of nature ( mulching leaves, dead trees, still water... swamp like things) I have two questions: Would that be viable and if that would be do anyone got a good idea for a class name? (I am only after small tips)

(EDIT: I rather meant nature magic use, she is a elf BTW, but she don't really... use it LIKE a druid, if that makes sense)

Who knows.

good idea for a class name wrote:

Druid? You said that yourself.

(corrected my first post, now it should make more sense)

Take a look at Naxxramas then or something I guess.

why naxxramas?

Typically. Druidism is used to mend and restore balance to Nature. If your character is based around the reverse then some kind of change might be necessary?

Whatever happened to the water magic wielding caster lady or that spider cult lady?

Still there, though the water magic lady didnt really become such a good char, so I kind of scrapped the idea... and the spider lady was there, but she had deranged slighlty... so when my TRP2 files where wiped I just didn't "recreate" her

Nightmare druids focus on the corruption of nature. They are basically druids driven insane by the old god N'zoth. They can transform into vermin instead of the normal druid forms.

As Arenfel said, Druidism is about restoration and balance. The opposite is normally necromancers, who perverse nature by using shadow and ressurecting the dead into unlife. Death Knights spread rot and plague with their unholy way of being as well.

Thought of Druids of the Fang when I read your OP.

Some personal advice though: Less is more.
You don't need to reinvent the game to have fun. From my limited experience RPing with you: Try RPing something that doesn't demand that you throw plot hooks at whoever you RP with like you're a viking on a raid and it's boarding time.

And remember, while having a class, powers and such adds to the RP, the personality, upbringing, philosophies, religious views and personal history and such are much more important tools to make your characters come alive and feel fun to play.

Edit: This was kind of meant as friendly advice, not the lecturing/yelling to it ended up sounding like.

Yeah... you are probably right... and Theodoric, I don't want to sound like an ass, but I have close to NO memory about you (of course, I myself have bad memory)

Didn't expect you to, nothing major happened, just been making a point of remembering the randoms I interact with even so, myself, so that my network of vague acquaintances and contacts doesn't run out.

Just make the char and play, see what you can get done.

yeah... but I just wanted to have tips to make it as... "logical" as possible, I guess A nature magic user that is using mostly poisonous spores and her naturemagic to "kill" nature... i

"In biology, a spore is a unit of asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavorable conditions. By contrast, gametes are units of sexual reproduction. Spores form part of the life cycles of many plants, algae, fungi and protozoa.[1] In bacteria, spores are not part of a sexual cycle but are resistant structures used for survival under unfavourable conditions." -wikipedia

In other words, the notions that spores=poisons or spores=not life are wrong.
