EMO DnD Classes pt 6: Druid

Druids have a fun spell list and I probably changed them more than any list. I allow evil druids and have mentioned I have some funny alignments. Probably a fairly heavy alterations the class. Possibly add a sea druid and a cave druid but need to think more about them.

Druids are related to priests but have their own spells and some differences with amour and weapons. Druids deal with nature and the common folk who follow the old religion of megalith builders and beast cults. most follow the middle way and serving the balance or are just neutral. Druids use warrior and priest proficiencies, often specializing in a terrain type or beast species. Druids frequently have maximum animal followers with charisma or spells. Druids of separate sects or with disputes often battle ritual duels. Druids have different weapons and their spells are more useful for attacking.
