Urban druids?

Piratecat

In a short mini-campaign, one of the players wants to run a city-based druid. Are there any published druid variants that fit this description? I'd love to have something to work off of instead of just faking it.

Thanks!

You can find the Urban Druid written up in Dragon Magazine #317 and also in the Dragon Compendium.

Urban Druids have all of the social skills and K:local, K:nobility, & K:history. They also get at 1st level +2 with Gather Information and K:local checks with City sense, along with adding his wisdom bonus to Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate, and +2 to all Will saves while in a favored city. And they get good "manipulate people" and "find things" spells that bards normally get instead of affecting plants & animals. But I also recommend mixing in the urban-themed spells listed in Races of Destiny. Playing an urban druid in a city would be as awesome as playing a druid in a pure wilderness campaign.

Have the force that the urban druid taps and reveres be the "spirit of the city" that is created from communal subconsious minds of the people.

That's pretty darn funny.

This will be an interesting game. It'll be short enough that the PCs will probably never leave Five Fingers (Port of Deceit - the book won a slew of ENnies this last year), and I'm having the players make PCs optimized for city adventuring. I'll be curious to see how it works out.
