[QUOTE="MonkeyDragon, post: 3595810, member: 23929"] I heart druids! I played a druid for a couple of years in one campaign. The things I found for that character: I couldn't fight in melee. I didn't have a great strength or many hit points, and my AC sucked. Part of that dealt with the rest of the party, though. The cleric had a 30+ AC, and the soul-drinker always had a ton of HP, his own and temp. Since the monsters were scaled to deal with them, they would have made mince meat of me. I Summoning critters was great up until 10thish level. After that they just got in the way, since they couldn't hit the monsters. Everyone loves the unicorn brigades, though, especially when fighting a room full of vrocks. My animal companion wasn't that useful at higher levels, until I got my third one and tricked that wolf out to the nines. Then he wasn't always useful, but was a tripping machine when he was. I wasn't the best at anything, but I was the second best at a lot of stuff. I was the secondary blaster and the secondary healer. The cleric tended to be stingy with his healing, so some party members came to me to get patched up. I wasn't any good at fighting, but I could stand between the wizard and danger as a last line of defense. Basically, I loved that character. The second druid that I played had a couple levels of monk and an outrageous wisdom. I stayed in wildshape (polar bear) all the time and spent my spells on buffs. With some potions of greater mage armor, my AC was great and I could deal a ton of damage. [/QUOTE]
