Notes Regarding Druid (CLERIC) Spells: <c>

* $10 = 1 gp
** Mistletoe = (greater mistletoe || lesser mistletoe || borrowed mistletoe || holly || oak leaves)

The religious symbol of druids is mistletoe.
Of lesser importance is holly.
Some magical power resides in oak leaves.
All of the druidic spells with a material component assume the use of mistletoe, as gathered by the druid character in the manner described hereafter.
Lesser mistletoe, as well as holly and oak leaves, will reduce spell effectiveness as follows:
 
 
ITEM SPELL RANGE SPELL DURATION AREA OF EFFECT
Lesser mistletoe 100% 75% * 100%
Borrowed mistletoe 75% * 50% ** 100%
Holly 75% * 50% ** 75% *
Oak leaves 50% ** 50% ** 50% **

* or +1 on saving throw, if any, if category is not applicable.
** or +1 on saving throw, if any, if category is not applicable.

Greater mistletoe, that is, mistletoe which is properly harvested by the
druid, must be gathered by the druid as follows.
On Midsummer's Eve, the
druid must locate his mistletoe, cut it with a gold || silver sickle and catch
it in a bowl before it touches the ground.

Lesser mistletoe is that which is not harvested on the eve of midsummer, or
that which the druid takes in a way which is not prescribed (such as picking
by hand).

Borrowed mistletoe is any mistletoe which is not personally harvested by the druid.

Holly and oak leaves must be gathered by the druid, but these may be picked or gathered in any manner.
 
 

Q. How long will a druid's mistletoe
function before a new batch will be
required?
A. The rules give no guidance whatsoever
on how long a druid's mistletoe
lasts when used for casting spells.
However, it is a spell component, and
the effects of wizard spells on
their components is quite clear: the
components are destroyed to provide
the necessary power for the spell.
Even spells without apparent material
components use the air that a
wizard breathes out as their
material component. <?>
    Therefore, it is reasonable to
assume that a druid's mistletoe,
which is a spell component, is used
up (to provide power for the spell)
during the process of casting a spell. <no, the druid's mistletoe is effectively his holy symbol>
The idea that a druid's mistletoe is
used up during spell-casting is also
implied by the table in the Notes
regarding Druid (Priest) spells (PHB,
p54). If the mistletoe was a permanent
possession of the druid (once
it had been harvested), there would
be no need to worrry about the
reduced effects of using poor quality
and ersatz mistletoe in spell casting.
We suggest that each druidic spell
requires only 2 leaves.
    Druids should obviously spend a
lot of their time looking out for
mistletoe when on adventures (they
cannot afford to miss a single bit of
it), and cultivating it when 'at home'.
Come Midsummer Eve, the hills,
valleys and forests should be alive
with  the sound of druids painstakingly
harvesting mistletoe in the
approved fashion...
