3. Druidic saplock - actually doable or impossible with slow eq?
I'm not sure how large your eq penalty is really, but you'll be chasing eq right after sap to lock them, and if they actually know how to cure sap or have a system that can handle it, you'll be chasing eq to keep them locked.

4. Druid demesnes - Hartstone v. Blacktalon - are they pretty similar? Being slowed with actives, I'd be relying on all the passive effects I can get pretty heavily 
, so... brief summation or linkages to relevant postings would be great <3 (or even just a general x is better because they have a billion better effects! - Never been a druid, and been away for ages so I can't recall which effects are uselessish)
, so... brief summation or linkages to relevant postings would be great <3 (or even just a general x is better because they have a billion better effects! - Never been a druid, and been away for ages so I can't recall which effects are uselessish)Pollem: Asthma
Spores: Confusion/Stupidity/Dementia
Swarm: Paralysis
Treelife: Pull into trees
Treebane: Active, but affliction is a focus spirit cure with a passive effect, if in trees will drop to ground elevation and break random number of limbs.
Thorns: Minor bleeding if in the trees
Storm: Electric damage
Hartstone have
Squirrels: Minor blunt damage and bleeding, sometimes amnesia
Pathtwist: If they walk out of a room with a pathtwist, they might end up pulled through and dropped at the other end, entangled and off balance.
Blacktalon have
Murder: Blind/Blacklung/I think cutting damage?
Spiders: Freeze/Clumsiness/Sensitivity

5. Druid Totem Specializations - Crow v Stag? Does Dark Rebirth work at Demi? How useful are Gore/Swoop? The passives granted: Stag seems more defensive while Crow... does it have any passive curing? How hard is it to upkeep carrion in nests? How limiting is carrion on skill usage?
Stag is definitely a very defensive skill set, though stag stomp is pretty cool. If you're outside your demesne fighting you'd probably be spamming Gore or some tet skill.

6. RP - how formal or strict are each of the druid/wiccan guilds? (i.e. /kick+berate due to "Hi!" instead of "". And I guess, inguild friendliness or aloofness? Anyone able to put them in a rough order?)
Hartstone are pretty formal at the moment.
As usual, though, enchanters will hide from you like a baby and the plague (I still <3 you Nott, but we're on different timezones 
)
)I'll answer what I can 
...Not that it's a whole lot....
3. Druidic saplock - actually doable or impossible with slow eq?
Sorry to say, impossible. I struggle pulling them off as a human, having been used to being a furrikin for so long, with the really nice EQ bonus.

Lehki already got this for me...
Though I feel the need to point out Scarab (BT, passive anorexia over a few tics for 5p) and Darkseed (HS, passive entangle over a few tics for 7p). Darkseed sucks something horrible, cough.

I have a motto when it comes to gore... 'When in doubt, and not in 1 on 1, whore gore.' It's, imo, one of the more useful abilities. Stagtotem is passive curing for yourself and allies over 5 minutes or so. Swoop is, I would think, a lot easier to actually pull off, as you'll have wiccans from the SDs working for mana drains around you, Truecaw, Haegl if you go runes, ect.

Not sure about other guilds, per say, but the HS aren't too strict on formalities as we could be. We implemented a title-system, but we don't enforce it too forcefully. We do very much appreciate them, as it's respectful and all that. But, if you forget to call me Hierophant, or Selskia Keeper, we aren't going to claw at your throat and curse your first born. We're pretty lax, partially because of a people-shortage... I get estatic if I see more than just me, Fern, and Lehki online. :/ We're pretty much a dead guild, but from what I understand, the Hartstone have always been that way...just not this bad.

Hmm... apparently the Stag facepaints aren't directly linked to the bonus/penalties, and would drop drop one of my eq/bal down to the equivalent of a lv4 penalty 
Oh, do Gore users still get their antlers stuck upon impale? I hear they used to, but didn't followup on any changes which may have happened.
And... from earlier in the thread, referring to Healing:

Hmm... how often do the auras tick? How much does the health one heal (scroll-like, sparkle-like or sip-like?)
How exactly do aurawarp/bedevil work? Are they curable via allheale, and can they be worked around?
