[QUOTE="schnee, post: 7079085, member: 16728"] Land Druids also have a bit more spellcasting staying power than a Cleric. They get spell recovery at short rest like Wizards. It's not huge, but it adds up. That balances their melee weakness compared to a Cleric. The flavor is interesting and different though. Druids do stuff that feels like it's an extension of the natural world, where Clerics are distinctly supernatural. Like: a Druid buff makes someone run fast or the entire party walk through an area undetected. A Cleric buff adds temporary hit points, or shields someone from Demonic mind control. A Druid attack looks like nature gone crazy with sleet or hail, while a Cleric calls a literal pillar of fire down from the clear blue sky. And so on. They play differently enough that you can play them back to back and not get bored. [/QUOTE]
