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.
