There are several Druids in my campaign, and they have no problem "fitting in" to society, or the party. Druids are priests, scholars, diplomats, and advisors within their communities. The whole society has vast respect for the Druids, as the Druids judgements are the very essence of the laws of the tribe, of the whole community.

(3) Druids are skilled in all ways of the gods, in communication with the spirit realms, and with interpreting omens, and the appropriate ceremonies and rituals for the community, and their relationships with the gods and the spirits of the land. With all of the above in mind, how can the Druid not "fit in?" Only in a naturalistic, urbanised environment, would the customs and ways of the Druids not be familiar.
