Handbooker Helper: Druid (Quick Build) 

The goldfish animation made it so much better

@@novanight That goldfish with the comment made me snort my soup. :D

Unless you are a god.

Lucas M unless you are a FULL god and not just “basically gods”

Yehuda Miller even though

@@pittgoose Even then, only someone who was "basically a god" could unknowingly take her own life (and only because she panicked last-minute) yet be brought back via the power of friendship. Do you know of anyone else (outside of a one-shot or battle royale) that was able to kill her? And no, knocking her unconscious and reducing her to two failed death saves doesn't count.

I came here for this comment, I'm glad I'm not disappointed. 🐟💀💦

And what has she done with our Marisha?

IT'S A RAKSHASA RUN

Me: learning to play D&D so I can create a Dragonborn Druid Various RU-vid Videos: Druids are harder for new players and Dragonborns are not the best race for Druids. Me:....Don't care still wanna play a Dragonborn Druid.

First dnd campaign: I’m a Dragonborn Druid

My first character is a druid and I love playing her

Buy a full box of Tissues for your DM

Gods with antlers.

"Splat"

More like immortals if you go Circle of the Moon... _So much tankiness_

also not magnetically attracted to water

"There's too many dice to roll, Marisha."

With real life physics: The problem with that drop is that you don't land *in*, but *on* water. Your splattered remains will then sink or float. Then again if the goldfish is light enough you might actually land in the water. Safest bet would be mouse for high drops. If you land on water transform after you land. (Insects are so light they will be carried for miles so you have no clue where you might end up.) Terminal velocity complicates this issue a lot as you might see. But don't transform into anything big/heavy(anything bigger then a mouse has such a bad surface to volume ration you will probably die) if you play with real life physics. In DnD physics go for highest HP always. Because that's the only metric taken into account outside of flight. This is the reason cats can consistently jump out of the window on the second floor without getting hurt if they land correctly. The first part is said ratio, the latter is their acrobatics.

Let's hope for the best of this Section.

I love Marisha because she showed how cool Druids can be.

Or else....

I never jumped on that band wagon, and I never will. I always saw a person that I could understand, and really, I didn't understand why so many folks hated her back in the day. It hurt me to hear that shit. Anyway, that's all in the past.

She seems like a very nice person! However I think we can agree shes an indifferent Druid.

It would have been cool, but the moment was tainted for me because Vox Machina were being the betraying dicks. Ik Liam got a lot of shit for basically forcing the group down that path, but still bugs me when I rewatch it

That was such an amazing moment, AGGH Im gonna go watch it again!

GoombaGenocide how were they betraying then? I thought by that point they knew that that Dragon was bad... I forget how to spell her name so didn’t even attempt.

@@dubbingsync no, Liam decided the dragon would betray them. Matt confirmed in Talks Machina that the dragon was doing exactly what it told them it was doing. Liam, on Twitter I believe, later said he hadn't understood the deal

GoombaGenocide they might not have a reason to trust a dragon known as the diseased deceiver? Amazing

I went Female Ghostwise Halfling Barbarian/Druid and was amazing, the best character so far i ever played. Halflings Druids!

@@shadeseba599 Tricky bit is coming up with a backstory...

@@ChaosWolf1982 Ghostwise Halflings are wild, other Halfling might be easy too, read about them a little more. Try searching info on the Races of Faerun (3rd ed), Races of the Wilds (3.5 ed), Mordeikanen's Tone of Foes (5e) and in the Sword Coast (5e too). They aren't far from nature, they are more into nature than other races.

I made a gnome moon druid in an Eberron campaign and the tiny gal -> huge beast was gold.

I just rolled up a stout halfling druid a week or so ago. Probably not going to play with it very often because I DM most of the time; but Milo Appleblossom is there whenever I need him.

If I may ask, what about it makes it difficult? I’m just starting dnd and wanting to play a Druid

I dont know yet but im starting my first campan in an hour i will tell you if its difficult or not!@@anagraceatkins3731

Sam Gunn A newt?

@@andrewharvey1777 I got better

Did you get better?

Yeah we Druids tend not to like people rolling us, unless we're armadillos then still don't.

I took the cliff dive because of Keyleth. She was my favorite on the first viewing.

I got some spell cards for my first in person game of D&D. It was awesome.

Spell cards and laminated card sheets. As someone playing both a druid and a cleric in two different games, they’re a godsend. Also, Barnes and Noble sells a sort of mini-binder that has spell card sheets, paper for notes and sheets, dividers, etc. Haven’t used it myself but it looks useful.

Ding!

Faerie Fire is great when used in dark places too. Especially if not everyone has Darkvision. Anything affected by Faerie fire sheds light and illuminates the area. It pays to judge on a case by case basis on whether you think Entangle or Faerie Fire is a better use of your concentration and the enemy is more likely to fail their save.

mathsalot 4 or you can be like me and ignore casting times. They kinda slow down pacing and my group ignores them too

Wonder how long it’ll take someone to turn it into an emote on the CR discord server.

@@procrastinatinggamer i give it a week. maybe a month

@@procrastinatinggamer luckily it is the exact emote on the twitch chat

Agreed, it was also nice after how many times she got within an inch of winning a Battle Royal that she got to win a BR at last. which is fitting considering that she is the only one of the cast besides Liam who partook in every one, even the de-listed one with Kashaw and Zhara :) +Plus it was nice seeing her get to use a lot of proper combat spells without having to waste anything on her teammates, her helicoptering around as an air elemental with a laser cannon was awesome :)

why did I do the exact same thing though... I only have a +2 widsom

congrats

i feel sorry for your DM, anyway, have fun with your new immortal self!

Jon Paul it was BASICALLY godlike

That, and also dabble in being proficient in CON saves and have the War Caster feat.

I never realized that, good point!

I've made a tribal princess who learnt druid magic as part of her hierarchy role. But she's an ass hole and I love it, she does things out of spite and isn't afraid to entangle a teammate for getting dirt on her dress 😂 forget tree huggers, be a druid who everyone hates that they love and need.

Haven't read the book yet, is the good one the one with the 9th level conjure animals when you die or the other one?

Bear Grills Yeah the Cricle of the Shepherd, being a pure druid or multiclass it just great all around. All you need to keep mind of it a lot of druid spells are concentration. So know what you are preparing along side the summon spells.

The Circle of Dreams is actually amazing when the party doesn’t have a healer, I really like playing it.

Queen Marisha Ray of Sunshine 💖

"Respect the challenge it takes to play one". If only everyone took those words to heart. Oh well.

Very underappreciated, too. In fact, she was very much the most human of all of Vox Machina, even more so than Percy. Why? Because she cared. She cared about the long-term effects of all choices, even seemingly irrelevant ones, and that's because unlike most mortals who are only concerned about the here-and-now short-term effects, she would live to see the results. She cared about the people she would eventually outlive, wanting to save as many lives as possible (Like during the Whitestone arc. She did NOT want to leave the citizens to be destroyed by the undead army while they stormed the castle. So what did she do? She did an about-face and stood her ground.) She cared about the world, even a world as unforgiving and cruel as Exandria. And despite the crushing burdens, the tragedies before her, and her own fears and doubts... she persisted. She endured. And she, like Vax, gave so much of herself. Always giving 110%. And even though she would have to bear living for over a thousand years, even though her companions got to have happier futures, she still did her duty.

I didnt like keyleth that much. Nothing to do with marisha or the character exactly, I'm just not a huge fan of druids.

@@Baeur that's fair. I want to play one so bad but it looks intimidating. And I cant figure out a decent background that isn't Hermit or Outlander

@@kab6754 Personally, I think people (like me) tend to overthink. When in doubt, have a list of standby spells on hand (like the spells mentioned in this quick build), and have room for spells that can be cycled freely to your heart's content that will not only compliment your party composition but will also be good all-purpose spells. And just for good measure, have some "wild cards" in reserve (such as Feeblemind, Plane Shift, and Shapechange). If you need to tank or scout, that's what Wild Shape is for. But if you think another party member is more suited to the task, conserve it until a more opportune time.
