A more actual druid guide

[Brakiri]

Hi,

i need a good druid guide, but most of the guides i found are more than 3 years old.
That means most of the options added by later books are not cosidered in these guides.

I would be grateful if someone could direct me to a more actual guide.

Thank you.

CRB druid is still one of the best.

[Avoron]

Unless you're focusing on a specific animal, in which case the appropriate animal shaman archetype is probably the best.

But standard druid is best overall.

What I'd like to see is a druid archetype that gives up spellcasting and nature bond for a full BAB and bonus feats.

Or maybe just a barbarian or fighter archetype that gets wild shape. That works too.

Treantmonk and Peterrco's guides are still applicable advice. Since I wrote the reincarnated Druid guide, no archetype or feats have been released to my knowledge that screamed necessary for that type of druid. When it comes to standard druids, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Get a big animal, turn into a big animal, and summon some big animals. Take feats that compliment your favorite thing among those three.

If you don't want wild shape, take Nature Fang, it works well with the Crocodile domain for some serious sneak attack. If you don't want animal companion, take domain or Feral Shifter.

I suppose the Nature Fang might deserve a guide of its own, because trading out Wild Shape does change the playstyle of the druid, wildly.

But for a normal druid, the essence of the old guides is still true.

Guess only thing worth mentioning is Animal Soul from the recent options. It gives you some little benefit, like being raised early with raise animal even cited as an example of the feat use.

Beside this...guess, it depends what you are looking for. There are more races option for druids...and guess that pretty much it.

Druid is one hell of a huge class to write a guide for, something I don't think I'd be ready for anytime soon. As stated, the guides beforehand are pretty solid for Druid basics, and I haven't really heard of a lot of stuff that NEEDS updated or a lot of better options.
