The druid is a playable character class in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. [1] [2] Druids wield nature-themed magic. Druids cast spells like clerics, but unlike them do not have special powers against undead and, in some editions, cannot use metal armor. Druids have a unique ability that allows them to change into various ...
