Druid

Description: Druids are divine spellcasters who receive their spells from nature, not the gods. They strive to live in harmony with the natural world, and hate anything that is not part of the natural cycle, especially aberrations and undead creatures. As they gain experience, they learn to take the shapes of animals and eventually of more powerful creatures. The strict oaths taken by every druid prohibit using weapons and armor outside their traditions.

Alignment restrictions: any neutral

Hit die: d8

Proficiencies: armor (light, medium), shields, weapons (druid)

Skill points: 4 + int modifier ( (4 + int modifier) * 4 at 1st level)

Skills: animal empathy, concentration, craft armor, craft trap, craft weapon, heal, lore, parry, persuade, spellcraft

Unavailable feats: curse song, divine might, divine shield, extra music, extra turning, lingering song, weapon proficiency (exotic), weapon proficiency (martial), weapon proficiency (simple), weapon specialization
These general feats cannot be selected when taking a level of druid.

Primary saving throw(s): fortitude, will

Base attack bonus: +3/4 levels

Spellcasting: Divine (spell failure from armor is ignored), wisdom-based (a base wisdom score of 10 + the spell's level is required to cast a spell, bonus spells are based on modified wisdom, and the wisdom modifier affects spell DCs), and requires preparation.

Bonus spell slots come from items and high wisdom.

As a rule of thumb, druids can cast spell levels up to half their class level rounded up.

Prestige class tips[]

  • The most effective prestige class that expands the druid's abilities is the shifter.

Notes[]

  • The druid and shifter shapeshifting feats cannot be dispelled.
  • Druids cannot take the weapon proficiency (simple, martial, or exotic) feats on a druid level. An elven druid will receive racial bonus proficiencies in longsword, rapier, longbow, and shortbow, or a level of a second class can be taken to gain its class weapon proficiencies.
  • The summon creature spells are some of the more powerful and useful spells. For convenience, the summoned creatures, per level, are: dire badger, dire boar, dire wolf, dire spider, dire bear, dire tiger, huge elemental (random type), greater elemental (random type), elder elemental (random type), 4 greater elementals (one at a time; druid-only spell).
  • Druid levels can be a good fit for a stealthy build, even though they get neither hide nor move silently as class skills. Their trackless step feat (druid level 3) gives a +4 bonus to stealth skills in wilderness areas, and the following spells also enhance these skills (in all areas, not just wilderness): camouflage gives +10 to hide (druid level 1), one with the land gives +4 to hide and move silently (druid level 3), and mass camouflage gives +10 to hide (druid level 7).
