Well, I've just concluded my first druid run. My impression is that the druid is not the most powerful character you can build in this game, but they are a fun party animal to play. wink

What I've liked the best was figuring the combination of spells and shapes for the occassion. Teaming up with Shadowheart for " bless the wolf, then exposing bite & inflict wound" combination was just nasty (I didn't have Astarion in my party, but I suspect sneak attack would have worked even better than here). Laezel with the magical shoes from the spider cave combined with the spider form & web worked out quite nicely too. The only companion that didn't mesh all that well with my druid was Wyll, but I don't really know how to build & play a warlock. In retrospect I should have given him the repelling blast; that way he could have used eldritch blast to push back enemies into aoes. I've used the void bulbs for this purpose instead, but they are a limited resource. On the downside the flaming sphere and spike growth were problematic to use, because they don't seem to register as dangerous spell effects with npcs. I've had both companions and neutral npcs walk through a spike growth field after a battle, killing themselves in the process.
