[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 2994456, member: 7635"] Ok, I've NEVER, in 15 years of D&D, ever played a druid for more than a game tops. So now, I'm going to try it. However, I'm not sure how the get the most out of my tree-hugger. So I'm asking you for some advice on how to play a druid. I'm looking for two things, mechanical and role-playing advice.
