Best Traits for a Druid


Advice


What do you consider to be the best traits to pick for a Druid?

Reactionary and Focused Mind are good and all, just seem a little boring since those are go-to traits for any caster.

Are there any traits out there that are excellent specifically for the Druid? I have thought about Other World Magic to pick up Ghost Sound so the Druid can communicate during Wild Shape without have to pick up Wildspeech as a feat.

Unfortunately ghost sound doesn't allow you to mimic speech just the sounds of chatter, like the din of a party.

Strangely enough prestidigitation is better. Given it can make ghostly images of words, move objects up to pound or do minor magics it can help with some of the problems while in beast shape.


Argh, I can't recall the name but my druid picked up the trait that boosts reflex saves. Probably not the best trait overall, but boosting that one weak save sure is nice.


If your Gm lets you I like beast of the society. Druid only trait that doubles your wild shape time (2hr/lvl instead of 1hr/lvl so long as you're wild-shaping into a small or medium animal).


I would never use beast of the society. It's only good from level 4-5 and since you only have one use and it's already 4 or 5 hours and you need to leave wildshape to do magic at level 4 it's really only helping you at level 5.

Past level 5 other sizes are enough better that small and medium forms are unlikely to see long use.

Gifted Adept for called ANimal is a great deal as explained to a druid guide.

Dirty Fighter is also nice alternative.

@Taenia: What leads you to that conclusion? It says you can mimic the sound of talking, singing, or shouting. Nothing about the words being unintelligible.

@XMorsX: Can you elaborate on Gifted Adept? What sourcebook is it from?

Very interesting little trick. I don't know how I looked over gifted adept, probably because I don't usually want to specialize overly much in a single spell.
