Hey all, I'm gonna start a kingmaker campaign and one of my players asked me what a good religion would be for her druid. What should I tell her?
Erastil has obvious hooks in the first adventure.
Erastil works for a druid who wants to integrate settlements with nature. For a more elemental/tempest type druid probably Gozreh. For the more general druid 'deity' you could go with The Green Faith.
erastil seems the correct choice, but as a good guy may struggle trying to resolves the utter exploitation of the land to follow
Our Druid, who is NG and 8th level, stuggles with the otehrs on many a morale, ethical points as the real deity is KM is CASH

I just remembered that Erastil is LG. I know druid have to have one neutral alignment component, can druids be one axis away from their deity or do they have to the same alignment?
As for money being the real deity, depends on how its run, both by the dm's and players. Who's to say that a druid didn't sign for the expedition just help pacify a dangerous region and the charter is just an excuse to let him go there.
We have a druid of Sarenrae in our game and it works fairly well. All sunshine and fiery death., it's kinda cute for a gnome.

Erastil? Really?
''Old Deadeye is set in his ways and doesn't take well to those who challenge his opinions or upset how things work. He believes the strength of a man's will makes him the center of a household, and while women can be strong, they should defer to and support their husbands, as their role is to look after the house and raise strong children.''
Hanspur is likewise a poor choice. I don't think she'd like the drowning babies aspect of Hanspur's faith.
I don't know much about the Green Faith though. Where can I find more info on that?
All of the PCs in my campaign, including our druid, are followers of Erastil; though we've done away with the misogynistic parts of his doctrine so as to make him more palatable to our female players. It'd seem like a wasted opportunity to forgo Old Dead Eye with all the tie-ins he has in this A.P.
The cleric is my just-starting Kingmaker game worships Erastil. He chose to be NG and he simply is of a sect that does not tightly follow Erastil's more chauvanistic teachings.
A druid could easily follow Erastil and be NG, LN, or even True Neutral, as only Clerics are restricted in that manner as far as I know. (He may follow Erastil, but the source of his powers are somewhat more primal)

The Green FaithYeah, I knew that much. The problem is, that's not a lot of info. I could use more.
There isn't a lot out there about it, partially because it's a rough abstraction of various forms of nature worship in the real world.
Essentially, DM and player should make it whatever works for them.
