## Description

Druids are a magic-using class that can only use Nature magic. Druids are an offensive class, having solid Magic Attack, and average defensive stats. The Agility of Druids is lacking and their Attack is low, leaving them to mostly rely on the use of their magic spells to deal damage.

## Overview

Druids can be good to have in any campaign, but their skills have enhanced effects when the Druid is in a forest or woods, so they are useful to have around in campaigns where forests are common.

Tree Hugger is a passive stat that will heal back health for an ally as long as the ally is in a forest; though this skill only works in forests, it is phenomenal for battles in forests as the Druid's solid Magic Attack causes the skill to heal back significant amounts of health to the ally it is used on, allowing them to stay in the fight for longer.

Speak for the Trees is only useful if the party comes across tree-like creatures like ents or treants, but allows the Druid to talk to such creatures and even resolve combat against them peacefully.

The Oasis skill increases the offensive stats of allies when it is used.

The Branch Out skill lets the Druid use any non-Nature magic spell, but only if there is another magic-user in the party that knows any such spells.

Spiritual Oath allows the Druid to deal bonus damage to enemies if the enemy wears metal armor on them; this is especially useful for the Druid as they typically struggle against enemies with physical weapons, and most enemies that wear metal armor will also be wielding physical weapons.

Forest Disguise is great for blending in to hide from enemies or set up an ambush.
