Rules Update: Druid Promotional Skill

Could this allow me to play Honest Treeworthy: Owl Psychologist?  

He'd be an adorable owl who wears a tiny pair of spectacles, and though he only tweets and twists his head at odd angles and swoops down to catch the occasional shrew...all his patients come away feeling better, and with a new understanding of themselves.

Honest Treeworthy: "Find someone who gives a hoot...me." *transforms into an owl with tiny spectacles*

While in animal form, the druid also gains 30 build worth of lower list skills, Druid Points, or Body Points (at a 3:1 ratio) that are approved by the director and deemed to be appropriate for the animal totem

Is it possible for a Druid to Transmute in to different animal forms IE you turn in to a Lion for combat, but a hawk to take flight. or is it totem specific?

You choose one form and that is the form you have.  So one druid might turn into a ram, while another turns into a dog and so on.

If your totem has Might can you use your own Druid point pool to cast Maul or only the DP you have bought at a 3:1 ratio with the promo build?

That was poorly worded - Body is at 3:1, but Druid Points should still be 1:1.  (Body was specified since it's variable from class to class.)  I'll look into rephrasing it so it's more clear.

The intent is that you can still use your "native" DP while transformed into Totem form.

I'm not sure on buffs carrying over - I'll defer to Jon or James on this one.

Thanks Geoff,

Another question:

It states you only retain the ability to call skills or latent defenses of a defensive nature. What if you have speed cast, could you speed cast defensives on yourself since it would be defensive in nature?

The wording is clear in that you can only call the defensive abilities that are available to you. You cannot cast/invoke new ones while in the animal form.

If you want to cast a new latant defense you would have to first revert back to human form.

question about flight - if you land in a tree, does the 10 minute wait to fly again still in effect?
