Background:
Sakana is young by Locathah standards. He has just come of age and as an adult is finally ready to set out on his own. He was born into the Peskado-family of the larger Nami-clan, settlers of the warmer waters of Insert relevant place name here]. Since childhood, Sakana had been at one with the oceans and the rolling torrents of waves, thunder, and lightning above the depths. Strange but not unheard of for a shallow current dweller to develop such skills and connection, his innate powers were fed by the clan and given all the chances necessary to grow. Sakana's love for the creatures of the sea is only overshadowed by his love for the natural power of the storm. The elders know that if given the right growth and nourishment, there could be no limit to his powers.

Unlike most Locathah clans, the Nami had been free of indentured servitude and slavery for a number of generations. They were well settled, secure, and dedicated to keeping their territory and peoples safe and free from any form of servitude. Naturally, this safety and security seemed to the young males as the very confinement and servitude they had heard the elders warn of so regularly.

Could the Kuo-Toa and Ixitxachitl enslavement really have been as bad as the elders made it sound? Sakana had to wonder. It was this natural curiosity and sense of wonder that eventually led to his desire to leave the clan, explore the world, and return all the richer both physically, economically, and mentally. At least, that was the plan...

Still very tentative. Items in Lime Green I am either completely lost on or would like people's input and opinions.

If you go summoning, there are a bunch of cool druid-only summoning feats.

I want to be this storm calling BAMF. Any feats that will aid in that?

Considering dropping Cure Light Wounds in order to rely on the Heal skill and give myself another spell slot. I am thinking a focus on summoning and weather powers rather than wild shape.

EDIT: It is dropped. Heal skill + Goodberry farm here I come.

I'm going to have to check this more thoroughly. Will send a post tomorrow.

No problem. I am sure there are mistakes as this is the first PF PC I have made in like... ten years. Also, I posed a question in the OOC about an updated weight/gold amount for a Druid's Kit that doesn't have 5 days worth of animal feed.

Firstly, you can have 2sp back for not having the feed.

Spell focus is for a specific school of magic (necromancy, illusion, conjuration etc, not arcane or divine).
Summon nature's ally can always be cast by a druid, burning other spells to cast it, like a cleric does for cure spells.
Spell save DC is wis modifier+spell level+potential feat.
The re is no spell attack modifier, from memory that's a 5th edition.
Also average gold for a druid is 70gp, not 90gp.

1) How does the no animal feed affect weight? The numbers from the PFSRD says it's ten lbs.

2) I'll fix Spell Focus.

3) Summon Nature's Ally spontaneous cast is replaced by taking Storm Druid.

4) Sweet, thank you! Right now then it should be 15. And thanks for the 5th ed shit. This template was a holdover from an old 5e character I created but never played.

5) As you can see with the link, I didn't take average gold; I took my chances with the dark gods and rolled for it. Could have gone either way, really. Was that not allowed?

I'll give you a thorough breakdown later, but mainly due to armor, torches and rations you're carrying about 65 pounds. Putting you well into heavy load territory.

Taking the chance is fine, just didn't see it!

As all you have to do now is fix up Spell Focus, this character is pretty much good to go.

The Druid's kit would largely stay in his quarters until it was time to go ashore, and then he definitely would not be taking ten torches with him. I may change up the armor. 25lbs seems excessive for non-metal armor.
