Description
Druids are nature priests, revering the gods of the natural world. Often a Druid uses mistletoe as a holy symbol, but this can vary with specific nature deities. Druids spend their time contemplating nature of in mundane forms of service such as ministering in rural areas. However, there are those who are called to go abroad to serve the natural order in a more direct way by working actively to restore balance.
Druids advance at the same rate as Clerics, and they use the same combat and saving throw tables. Druids can cast spells of divine nature starting at 2nd level, and they have the power of Animal Affinity, working much like the Clerical ability to Turn Undead. They can identify any natural animal or plant, and can identify clean water.

However, in some cases the Druid's deity may limit the availability of certain spells; for instance, a deity devoted to healing may refuse to grant reversed healing spells.
