[QUOTE="Chepper, post: 2418415, member: 34317"] I been playing a Druid all the time since I started playing (A)D&D some 8 years ago. Always made up a new background for each druid. This campaign I made a female druid who had been kicked off by her parents when she was like "babyform". Putted in a basket on a river... ( sounds like it happened before somewhere -_-" ), and eventually she turned out into the forest. Raised by all kinds of animals, bears, wolfs,... She learned many things of her stay there. What nature has to offer, what it takes, dangers, safeties,... So sooner or later she found out her casting abilities and gained more Nature abilities. From that point on you can say you start at lvl 1 at a certain age ( I'm human and aged 22 ). So in the start of our campaign I just learned some minor tricks of nature magic but got a book full of abilities, like Animal Friendship, etc. Ofcourse during her childhood, she met up with some magical creatures that learned her how to read a lill and speak, eventually bringing her in contact with an old druid master, who teached her the druidic language. From all that, not a bad cloud on the air. But then the major problem came. Since she lives all her live in the forest, she has never visited any villages, she had noticed them, but didn't like the fuzz all around. When she got booted in a group by coincidence things stared to go crazy at all sides. First time she entered a village ( That session was yesterday ). She only know the things from nature mainly called trading. I give you this shiny rock and I take your shiny armor... Which ofcourse makes city people angry. I spend 2 times in an "inn" called Jail. She wasn't unhappy from the food though, it wasn't that bad and it was even free!!! First time she was caught cause of her swimming in the river where ships come thru, next time she was busted cause she crawled in a garbage bin. My character has no need for goldpieces, just trade material, like gems, shiny objects etc. Her motto is: What Nature gives, she takes. She doesn't really understand the meaning of buying at all. Besides all that, her background continues to develop. But this one is a nice start for quiet an adventure. ( Atleast 10 people want me dead now... -_-" ) Hope this gives you some ideas. Good luck on it! [/QUOTE]
