Druid (character class)
|
|
In role-playing games, a druid is a character that represents a magic-user who is most comfortable in natural environments (especially forests). They work with nature to achieve their goals. In Dungeons & Dragons in particular, druids are related to rangers, except a ranger is more oriented towards traditional combat whereas a druid is more magically inclined. Some RPGs have a shaman class that ends up with similar abilities but is designed around the idea of a medicine man (shaman) in tribal societies. Some games may feature a Druid as a playable character who can transform into animals, such as the Druid from Diablo 2. Also, World of Warcraft, another MMORPG makes use of the Druid class.
