My husband and I and some friends are going to start a Roll20 pathfinder campaign, and I wanted to do a little something different for my character.
I'm still semi- new (played once in a while for the past 6 years. But since we all have families it's hard to get a good consistent session going.) Every time I play, I play as a half-elf Druid. Because I loved druids so much. (Who doesn't love changing into animals?)
So I decided this time I would be something different. I found the Sylph race and decided they seem so cool so I was gonna go that route. Everything I saw that seemed interesting for our group ended up saying a Sylph would be best as a Druid or a Wizard/Sorcerer. I had planned on doing something other than a druid, but I know my (almost 36 week pregnant) brain can't handle learning a wizard/sorcerer and all their spell stuff right now. So I decided to do a Sylph Druid, and I was eyeing up a Sky Druid. But I am SO confused now and don't want to bug the DM to help me with this, and my husband is working from home and I dont want to bug him, so thought I'd see if anyone here can help!
I saw these two:
Regular druid:

Sky Druid:
https://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/other-races/featured-races/arg-sylph/sky-dru id-druid-sylph
I suppose what I'm confused about are the abilities (mostly wild shaping) and flying. I had assumed that all Sylphs can fly, but I see that the sky druids can only learn Fly at level 5, which seems confusing to me since they have wings (and the main reason I picked Sylph haha)
Under the sky druid's abilities it often will say something and say what it replaces (For instance "Skymaster" This ability replaces trackless step.) But does that mean that the sky druid gets all the other REGULAR druid abilities as normal, just substitute with the ones listed? Or do they ONLY get what's listed in the sky Druid?
If they get the regular druid abilities and just substitute some of the others (such as Skymaster instead of trackless step)- I see under the Sky Druid it says at level 6 you "Gain Wildshape"- but under regular druid you gain that at level 4 (1/day) and then it goes to 2/day at level 6. Do I get the regular wildshaping but just the special abilities to flying wildshapes at level 6? Or do I ONLY get wildshape at level 6 and is it then only 1/day cause I don't see anywhere else where it says wildshape.
I might be over confusing things, but just thought I'd ask for some clarification.
My thoughts along this are, if I can't fly until level 9 (after taking Airy Step and Wings Of Air feats), and could only wildshape once per day otherwise, wouldn't it be more worthwhile to just be a regular druid?
Thank you for any advice!
