d and D's druid can be a fantastic
0:02
choice for your first D and D character
0:05
they work a lot like other full
0:07
spellcasters and they have a lot of
0:10
similar options and capabilities but
0:12
because the druid spell list is so
0:14
unique they do play a little bit
0:16
differently and they encourage a
0:18
different style of play you also have
0:20
absolutely fantastic utility from wild
0:23
shapes so you have options that other
0:25
classes generally can't replicate so one
0:28
of the things that druids do best
0:31
compared to other spellcasters is
0:33
controlling the battlefield itself
0:35
spells like entangle and things like
0:37
that can let you put up huge zones that
0:40
inhibit movement or debuff your enemies
0:43
things like that and instead of directly
0:47
affecting enemies directly affecting
0:49
allies you can take control of the
0:51
battlefield and shape an entire combat
0:54
encounter based on where and how you
0:56
cast your spells
0:58
outside of combat or sometimes in combat
1:00
depending on your subclass you can use
1:02
wild shape to get access to abilities
1:04
that your character might not have
1:05
otherwise flight burrow speed special
1:09
senses like blind sight ability to solve
1:11
problems in ways that a human a dwarf an
1:15
elf might not be able to you can turn it
1:17
yourself into a rat and go scouting you
1:20
can turn yourself into an owl and fly
1:21
around in the dark you can do a ton of
1:24
things within the druid's capabilities
1:27
and you don't have to fall back solely
1:29
on your character's skills like most
1:31
characters do uh the weakest point of
1:35
the class is their social skills you're
1:37
probably not going to do a whole lot in
1:38
social situations but even then like you
1:41
have a few skills that might be useful
1:44
to lend advice you might be good at
1:46
insights you can pick up uh and pick up
1:48
on the intents of other characters and
1:51
like if they're buying your party things
1:53
like that so for a player who might not
1:57
be ready to do a lot of socializing the
1:59
druid can be a really fantastic way to
2:01
learn how to play the game because it
2:03
teaches you things that you won't learn
2:05
from other classes and it teaches you to
2:07
approach the game in ways that other
2:10
classes simply might not be able
