[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 7559439, member: 53176"] D&D basically has Druids function as eco-terrorists with supernatural powers. I've never really understood why, seeing as how the industrial revolution hasn't really happened in any D&D world. Most of the time, I guide my players into playing them as a type of mage rather than a devoted priest or warlock, emphasizing that their power comes from channeling the world itself, though it's largely up to them to figure out what to do with it (A true test of sink-or-swim survival). Any communication with the source of their power is based on instincts or feelings unless they explicitly worship a god (who then acts like an interpreter/caretaker of said power instead of being the source of power like other gods would have you believe) As for creepy Druids, you are in luck, the Circle of Spores is creepiness incarnate. A sort of halfway necro-druid with a fetish for fungus. [/QUOTE]
