Oooo, first time I've gotten to get in on a handbook right at the start! And I freakin love Druids, so here we go!

You forgot the Half-Orc in PH2 Races.

By the way, here's an image. You know, for the first post. I think it fits.

I'm looking through the druid powers and noticing that the riders on the powers usually suck.

Primal guardian usually equals, "you slide the target a little bit more," or "you do Con modifier extra damage," (which is odd since the predator path is supposed to be more damage oriented). I don't see much that indicates that the primal guardian is a secondary leader.

Primal predator usually equals, "you can shift a little extra," or, oddly enough, "you get a bonus to grab checks."

I agree that the predator powers are overall weaker. On the other hand the powers with primal guardian riders often target fortitude which sucks quite frankly.

I actually don't see much reason to choose powers based on rider effects. The best powers at each level often aren't associated with either build and sometimes the powers are very good regardless of the rider (the rider is something minor tacked on).

I agree that some of the levels the riders are not very impressive, but most of the guardian powers are actually more like "you slide the target a LOT more", and some of the predator ones have decent effects too.

As for targeting fort, it's not as bad as people make it out to be, especially for area spells where you often aren't going to be able to target the soldiers and brutes anyway. In addition, a fair portion of the fort targeting spells the druid has are also Cold spells, which goes a long way to make up for it.

Hmm, I didn't notice that. Lasting frost?
