Thanks. Will look into it.

The Song of Summer.

How is it supposed to work?

As it stands, Druid is one of those classes that can run up quite a lot of equilibrium in a fight - not all eq users do. Mana is a ready backup, and now, that I'm getting into it, bashing things w/ the staff too. But it looks like there is a notion of 'sunk cost' in high eq to get plants out, and then eq recovery to keep things going which isn't quite being fulfilled by SoS.

Some eq resource relief would be extremely welcome. If SoS was giving you something like 10+ pts back from 5 plants for 1 talent pt or 15+ for 2, it would have real value rather than just the obligatory pt to get to the higher level talents.

At the moment, clv 14 Druid, WP 33, Spellpower ~30, w/ 1 pt in the Talent and five plants that die gets about 1 pt of equilibrium. Raising this to 3 talent pts, gets you about 3 eq pts. Even by 1.6 standards that seems a little stingy.

Whats the score? Is there a factor of N plants missing? and, Is it intended?

You've missed that its a percentage of your current Equilibrium.
So early on, and when you've barely unbalanced your natural connection, you won't seem to get much of a refund.
To get full use out of this, you'll need high Willpower, and you need to summon plants and then use other abilities. Then when the plants bloom, you get a refund on all of those abilities.
A 5/5 Song of Summer with a 5/5 Poison Ivy will reduce your Equilibrium by 32.5% for an investment cost of 5 Equilibrium.
Summer therefore works better for a Summoner/Caster build. Not a Summoner/Melee build.
If you are more into using your Staff Combat abilities, you might find it more useful to use Suppress Magic if you need more Equilibrium management.

(There is some extra Equilibrium management available from Zigur. Look at what the combat log says.)

Yes, I have a lot to learn.

Its a complicated class that doesn't shield you from any of the difficult parts.

Bug: Noxious Gases cannot be deactivated. (due to a typo in the 'deactivate' function)

Bug?: The Druid sustains that have effects around you each turn, like Tremors, Whirlpool, Aurora etc. all say they have a range of 3. This leads me to believe they are affected by Range Amplification Device. According to the talent description, the range changes to 6 with Range Amplification Device active. The effective range, however, is still 3.

Okay, lots of small errors to fix. So I'll aim to do that shortly.

Range Amplification Device: I think I can fix that easily enough, hopefully. I don't think the Fatigue effect applies to Equilibrium though, but that is a fault with the Prodigy, so its not my problem.

Updated:
Dread Howl should really not crash anymore this time. (1 Dragon Turtle was forced to use the talent repeated at me until I was sure.)
Noxious Gasses can now be deactivated.
Range Amplification Device now works with Aurora, Tremors/Earthshaker, Pure Spring/Whirlpool, Noxious Gasses, Mist Cloak, Rainfall, Bolts from the Blue and Zephyr/Typhoon.
Tangling Vines should no longer choke the game.

I'm having an issue where if I'm afflicted with the Bleeding debuff and it expires while the Regenerative Balm buff is active, the game enters a glitched state where the Bleeding debuff goes into negative duration, no buffs or cooldowns time out (including Regenerative Balm itself), and the game throws an error every turn.

If the bleed effect is reapplied and the duration goes positive, the error goes away.

This happens even with no add-ons other than Verdant itself installed.

Error message is below.


ERROR:
Game version: tome-1.6.6
Addons: verdant-1.6.6[X]

Game version (character creation): tome-1.6.6
Lua Error: /data-verdant/timed_effects.lua:174: attempt to index global 'target' (a nil value)

EDIT: It looks like it's still possible to cancel the Regenerative Balm effect and get out of this state.

Can confirm I've goofed and it won't remove the bleeding status correctly.
I may have to wait until next weekend to fix.

This is actually a base game bug with the current version of ToME. Here is the temporary fix, you'll want to use it on all runs until DG is back and can push a new update to fix the bug. This can be safely added to any save in progress, as well.

And here I was wondering what that Addon was for, and if I could disable this addon while on my current run. Thanks a lot!

Uploaded a very small patch to correct Regenerative Balm.
