For the animal-lovers amongst us, the DnD Druid is the perfect choice of class. Not only will you get to shape-shift into all manner of furry and feathered friends, but you’ll also have the knack for befriending other critters on your adventures. Not that animals are the only thing you can control, of course; you’ll be playing with the elements, calling forth earth, fire, and water at will (providing you have the spell slots for it, of course!)
