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.

Prestige Class Tips
- The most effective prestige class that expands the druids 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).
- The Druid's Animal Companion is unsummoned upon leveling up.
- Feed the Druid's Animal Companion after battle to restore its health for free without needing rest.
