[QUOTE="Trickstergod, post: 1273175, member: 10825"] Just to note, druids don't have prohibited weapons anymore, anyway. Just ones they're not proficient in. They still possess armor restrictions, but a druid who takes a level in fighter, for example, is free to use a longsword all they like. Or one who take Martial Weapon Proficiency (Longsword). Also, keep in mind, that elves gain a number of proficiencies, bow amongst them. Dunno what you were going for, but that's always an option, and the Scarred Lands wood elves are all about being druids. As for the logic behind a javelin, don't they tend to need a decent amount of running space and space to fly through the air? Seeing as how druids are designed for the forest, it makes sense, to a degree. If you're just looking for "best dump stat," I believe Charisma isn't overly needed by druids; if you want one that's appropriate, however, well, that's not one anyone can really offer much advice on but yourself, really. Beyond that, well...advice-wise, while never quite the druid player, I think the primary question is whether you want to focus on spells or wildshaping. There's a number of feats out there for either, and if you had any idea whether you wanted to go for one or the other, well, might be a start. It might also be good to keep in mind whether you want to enter a prestige class, or just stay a druid. [/QUOTE]
