[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 6557294, member: 6786252"] The 5e D&D druid has a very strong tie to not just Nature anymore, but also the Feywild now. Control of beasts and fey creatures, which is the opposite of the Shadow Realm, the land of undead. Such a druid does take a pretty sharp turn. Evil druids tend to take the form of the dark fae creatures. Think ancient hags, dark elves, the twisted fungus monsters in the DMG. If you absolutely wanted to put the druids as a necromancer thing, then I recommend actually start by thinking of them as "custodians of the Shadow World." Imagine a druid trapped in that shadowy world, stuck there. What would they grow, raise, train. What floral and fauna they would encounter, and call upon with their magic. Think vampire. Vampires are renown for twisted forests, control over nocturnal animals, mastery of the world around them. Dracula turned into bats and wolves. [/QUOTE]
