Message: <blockquote data-quote="MoogleEmpMog" data-source="post: 1967984" data-attributes="member: 22882">I do like the idea of druid as master of nature rather than its servant.  Personally, though, I like the feral druid.  The druid who is more like a werewolf than anything else, albeit a werewolf with spells, animal control and superior shapechanging.There's an old Magic card (Black Knight) whose flavor text reads: "Battle doesn’t need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don’t ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don’t ask why I fight."That's how I see the feral druid.  He's a natural-born predator, killing at will simply because he can, and as such he's obviously the top of the food chain.  He doesn't resent humanity's place at the top of the food chain (actually, dragons arguably occupy that place), he just wants to surmount it for himself personally.Now, from 1-20, a druid can just flat out dominate any other character (or most equivalent CR monsters) in a duel situation.  A druid with this kind of food-chain attitude will soon reiforce his ideas about himself by overpowering even allegedly more powerful enemies.A word of warning, though:Druids are D&D's best loners, the only true single-classed quadruple-threat.  At many levels, a single druid is equivalent to multiple other characters who supposedly share a CR; if well played, he can and will tear through PCs.  Treat druids like dragons - creatures you have to be very careful about because their CRs are almost always undervalued.</blockquote>
