[QUOTE="Paul Smart, post: 7888135, member: 6867385"] Good afternoon everyone. After almost 40 years of RP, I have decided to make my first Druid. I would like some advice on how to proceed. My rolled stats are 18, 15, 14, 12, 10, 10. We will be starting at level 1 and going to level 12 or so. The world is wide open, just about anything is possible given enough time. My questions: Race: I have narrowed the race down to 3 choices, variant human, lizardfolk or ghost wise halfling. Which would you choose and why? Circle: I will be a Circle of the Land as I have no interest in the Circle of the Moon. My question is which land should I be tied to and why? Melee Combat option: Primal Savagery or Shillelagh? Spell style: I see a few different directions this could go. 1) Elemental Master - focus on fire, lightning etc. 2) Beast Master - focus on summoning, befriending, talking to beasts. 3) Earth Warden - focus on control spells like entangle, thorn whip, fog cloud etc. Background: Should I go with a born in nature background like the Outlander, Fisher etc or a more scholarly background like Sage or Hermit? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks EDIT: The Firbolg race has opened up. They seem to be natural druids. Are they any good? [/QUOTE]
