5.0 out of 5 stars A Worthwhile Purchase, May 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Druid's Handbook (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Ed Rules Supplement) (Paperback)

Even if you've moved on to 3rd Edition D&D, this is an excellent purchase for those needing more info/ideas about druids. The book has several useful sections.

One is on branch portraits, so you can play a mountain, desert, arctic, underground, swamp, or jungle druid instead of a forest one. Then there is a section on 'kits,' specializations for druid characters.

A chapter on druidic society, organization, and philosophy can be useful in defining druid characters. What is especially nice is a collection of new spells and magic items which are appropriate for druid use. What is especially nice and an interesting twist is a section on herbal magic, if your character is interested in harvesting herbs and brewing potions.

The handbook also provides information about sacred groves and gives some plot outlines for druid-centered campaigns. This book increases the possibilities of playing druid characters tenfold.

If you play a druid character and would like some great supplementary information, try to get your hands on one of these.

This book is a MUST for your D&D collection. This book allows you to play druids that are specialized for swamps, jungles, deserts, polar, and forest climes; no single catch-all druid abilities. The kits are also wonderful and will be excellent sources for new 3e prestige classes. Want ideas for your druids in your campaign? This book gives it to you in spades. DEFINITELY go find this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best handbooks I have read., October 21, 1999

This is definitely one of TSR's best works. The role of the Druid is broadened with this book. Very useful for those who like to play Druid's but get tired of the saem character over and over again.
