Druid Organization

At 12th level, the druid character acquires the official title of "druid" (all druid characters below 12th level are officially known as "initiates").   Druids have a worldwide structure. At their upper levels (12th and above), only a few druids can hold each level. These structures are made up of all branches of druids, and thus an aerial druid and a mountain druid may come into competition for these positions, for example.

• There can be only nine 12th-level druids in any geographic region. A continent may consist of three or four such regions.
• There can be only three 13th-level druids (archdruids) in any geographic region.
• There can be only one 14th-level druid (The Great Druid) in any geographic region.
• There can be only one 15th-level druid (The Grand Druid) in the world.

To take the place of a druid, they must be defected in magical or hand-to-hand combat, thereby assuming the defeated druid's position. If such combat is not mortal, the loser drops experience points so the base exp of the previous level (12th level fight loser is recused to 200,000 exp, 13th level fight loser is reduced to 300,000 exp). The precise details of each combat are worked out between the two combatants in advance. Whatever can be agreed upon between the characters is legitimate, so long as there is some element of skill and risk.   The Grand Druid cannot be challenged in this way. The Grand Druid gets to decide their successor freely from the current Great Druids.

Underlings

12th-Level Druid

• When a character becomes a 12th-level druid, they gains three underlings. Their level depends on the character's position among the nine druids. The druid with the most experience points is served by three initiates of 9th level; the second-most experienced druid is served by three initiates of 8th level; and so on, until the least experienced druid is served by three 1st-level initiates.

13th-Level Druid (Archdruid)

• Each of the three archdruids is served by three initiates of 10th level.

From among the archdruids of the entire world, three are chosen to serve the Grand Druid. These three retain their attendees but are themselves servants of the Grand Druid.

14th-Level Druid (Grat Druid

• They are served by three initiates of 11th level.

15th-Level Druid (Grand Druid)

• The Grand Druid is attended by nine other druids who are outside hierarchy of any specific land or area.
• Three of these nine are archdruids who roam the world, acting as their messengers and agents. Each of them receives four additional spell levels.
• The remainder are normally druids of 7th to 11th level, although the Grand Druid can request a druid of any level to serve them and often considers applications from humble aspirants.

Grand Druids

The Grand Druid knows has six spell slots of each level (instead of the normal spell progression) and also can cast up to six additional spell levels, either as a single spell or as several spells whose levels total to six (for example, one 6th-level spell, six 1st-level spells, three 2nd-level spells, etc.).   Any druid character of any level can seek the Grand Druid and ask to serve them.   A player character who wants to become the Grand Druid (15th Level) must be

• Named successor by the current Grand Druid
• A current Great Druid (14th Level)

The position is demanding, thankless, and generally unexciting for anyone except a politician.   The Grand Druid reaches 16th level after earning only 500,000 more experience points.

Hierophant Druids

After reaching 16th level, the Grand Druid can step down from their position at any time, provided they can find a suitable successor (another druid with 3,000,000 experience points).   Upon stepping down, the former Grand Druid must relinquish the six bonus spell levels and all of their experience points but 1 (they keeps the rest of their abilities & levels). They are now a 16th-level hierophant druid, and begins advancing anew. The character may rise as high as 20th level as a hierophant druid (almost always through self training).   Beyond 15th level, a druid never gains any new spells. Casting level continues to rise with experience. Rather than spells, spell-like powers are acquired.

16th-Level

At 16th level, the hierophant druid gains four powers:

• Immunity to all natural poisons. Natural poisons are ingested or insinuated animal or vegetable poisons, including monster poisons, but not mineral poisons or poison gas.
• Vigorous health for a person of their age. The hierophant is no longer subject to the ability score adjustments for aging.
• The ability to alter their appearance at will. Appearance alteration is accomplished in one round. A height and weight increase or decrease of 50% is possible, with an apparent age from childhood to extreme old age. Body and facial features can resemble any human or humanoid creature. This alteration is not magical, so it cannot be detected by any means short of true seeing.

17th-Level

The character gains the biological ability to hibernate. Their body functions slow to the point where the character may appear dead to a casual observer; aging ceases. The character is completely unconscious during hibernation. They awakens either at a preordained time ("I will hibernate for 20 days") or when there is a significant change in their environment (the weather turns cold, someone hits them with a stick, etc.).   A 17th-level hierophant druid can also enter the Elemental Plane of Earth at will. The transference takes one round to complete. This ability also provides the means to survive on that plane, move around, and return to the Prime Material Plane at will. It does not confer similar abilities or immunities on the Prime Material Plane.

18th-Level

The character gains the ability to enter and survive in the Elemental Plane of Fire.

19th-Level

The character gains the ability to enter and survive in the Elemental Plane of Water.

20th-Level

The character gains the ability to enter and survive in the Elemental Plane of Air.
