Druid guides available?

[lovecheese45]

Hey guys, I started tolling the idea of making a druid for an online campaign (roll20). I have never played a druid character in my 15 years of gaming, table top and MMOs). I just realized that druids have SO many choices available to them as what they can do.

The only guide I found that I can read up on druids is the treantmonks three part guide. Are there any others that are as comprehensive so I can learn more about the different archtypes, spells, animal companions and what their role within a party is?

We're level 1, 20 Point buy and 3000 gold starting. I'm a little more excited about this one as there is a point buy.

The only other guide that I know of is Here. Still, I think the Treatmonk guide should do you well.

I've played druids, and I can tell you that going melee is the way to go with the class. High STR, modest WIS (say 14) and moderate CON (at least 12). Get a lion animal companion and boost it's damage with feats. Learn the rules regarding SCENT. Your DM probably will not know the rule or will apply it wrong. When you reach level 4, start wildshaping. Your DM probably won't know the rules regarding wildshaping, so do your homework and help him, or ask here (or send me a PM). It's complicated at first.

Hope that helps. Send me a PM if you have further questions on the class, i'll be glad to help.
