Late Review – Complete Druid’s Handbook (2e)

Druids in Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2e are one of the weakest class options out there. They have severe alignment restrictions and very limited spell selection. In fact, most druids become functionally useless when underground, inside, or in a desert. Never fear, though – this was a known issue. And so we have… The Complete Druid’s Handbook! Which proceeds to fix absolutely none of these problems!

Join me to look at the earliest attempts at non-treehugging druids, a too-in-depth background on the weird global druid conspiracy, and more!

Druid – Circle of the Night (v2)

Cities are their own special kind of wilderness. Full of dangerous predators and yet teeming with life all the same. All creatures are the same, ultimately. They all want the same thing; survival.

Circle of the Forest Druid (v1)

Locals know them as wise people, but overly suspicious and secretive. Powerful villains give them a wide berth – their eyes and ears are everywhere, and they can quite literally turn a walk in the woods into a suicide mission. Quiet, subtle, and powerful, these druids are more than just woodsy hermits.

Circle of the Night Druid (1.0)

Wilderness borders cities. At least, that’s how most see it – but the primal wildness of nature cannot be contained or kept out. No city, no town, no kingdom is immune to the darkest desires that lurk in the hearts of all living creatures.

 

When that wildness surges to the forefront, few know how to deal with it better than the Circle of the Night Druids.
