A Worthwhile Purchase, May 15, 2001
By A Customer
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.
