Introduction

• Class Tiers: Healer - Druid - Elder Druid
• Requirements: 15 Int, 15 Wis, 16 Chr
• Experience points to level 25: 330 million exp
• Difficulty: Hard

These defenders of Nature are a complicated mix of Spellcaster and Fighter. High restrictions on armor and weapons are balanced with the most varied abilities of any class. Spells range from simple and very useful spells like Boire and Nouritu that relieve thirst and hunger, to Animorph which morphs the Druid into an animal form, depending on what god they follow. Animorph is a very powerful spell, increasing Strength, Agility, and Armor Count (all based on the caster's Wisdom), as well as restoring the caster to full health no matter how many hit points they have. Druids are the one class where all 6 stats are very important. While they start out as Healers, they only have two basic healing spells, Curel and Venin. Other spells include Ray, Plantcall, Faeriefire, Charm and Haste. Druids also have the ability to Stalk and brew Amethyst potions. Amethyst potions are made of Star Fruit, Ginger Root, and Mint Leaves. See the academia for more information on these spells and abilities. Druids are great fun and have many offensive as well as defensive advantages. I would recommend them for any player who is up to the challenge of balancing the skills of mystic with muscle.

Character Templates

Listed here are popular character templates for Druids:

The Shapeshifter

• Half Elf Str:19 Int:16 Agi:21 End:19 Wis:20 Chr:16

This template is focused on getting the most out of Animorph. Both Humans and Halflings can also be used with similar statistics. Humans hit a little harder, and Halflings have a better dodge rate. All three races are well balanced and fit the role extremely well. Animorph strength and agility boosts as well as the AC bonus are based solely on wisdom. Intelligence has little to no effect on Animorph length, but does have a slight effect on fizzle rate as well as Curel and Ray strength.

The Forest Walker

• Gnome Str:16 Int:17 Agi:21 End:16 Wis:22 Chr:16

This template is focused on getting the most out of Animorph, and Mana. Animorph will give a bonus of +9 to strength and +27 to AC with this build. It is a little lacking in the damage and healing ability, as well as total hit points maxing out at 688, however fully equipped druids should have an AC of 92 (78 if using JUST decked store bought armors) while Animorphed, and a strength and agi of almost 25.

As an added bonus it is very strong against chanters because if its extreme magic defense. It will also heal better and more often then a Ling or Human druid.
