Totemic Druid (Druid Kit)

This Druid closely identifies with a particular animal that they feel represents their spirit. They have a special connection to the animal kingdom which lets them call upon spirits for aid.

Advantages

  • May use Summon Spirit Animal once per day, +1 use every 5 levels.
    • Summon Spirit Animal: Summons a spirit bear, spirit wolf, spirit lion, or spirit snake to aid the Druid for 6 turns.
    • HD scales by level: 1 HD at level 1, 3 HD at 3, 5 HD at 5, 7 HD at 7, 10 HD at 10.

Disadvantages

  • Cannot shapeshift.

When to pick it

  • Persistent summoned ally lets the Totemic Druid stay back as a caster while the spirit absorbs hits.
  • Trade-off is significant: the standard Druid shapeshift line is one of the class's best damage tools.
