Best race for Druids?

[Olden Sloe]

Best race for Druids and why? Please...

[seandeven]

Wood Elf ....because the Woods part of Wood Elf and ability increase Wisdom +1

From years of experiance playing games like this and tabletop D&D, play what you want. Its more fun that way. Racial stats dont tend to make much difference in the long run.

As the OP ask for "the" best we can answer more simply I guess ^^
I agree, it brings somes interesting build too - I will go for Drow Druid personnally, there is a lot of life in the Underdark !

Anything that gives +1 to wisdom, especially if you are going to use wild-shape since your physical stats change to the animal you transform into. So half elf, wood elf, and dwarf.

drow underdark land circle. just makes sense.

Is it just me or Drow Druids Wild Shape should be different heck most of the kit should be different cause so called "Nature" or Ecology of the Underdark is pretty different to the topside. Idk I just don't see a Drow being like look ders a bear. Just feel like they would be drastically different in some ways...:/

Probably wood elf, but my best race for every class is Drow! 😉

[Ki11s0n3]

Most definitely Wood Elf

Take the Spores Circle when it will be out

Personally I will rp a casted out drow hermit because she doesn't adhere to the politic of drow society and "just" lived there, in the wild Underdark, while worship Eilistraee
So Circle of the Moon for her o/

I'm quite fond of Half Elf, and in particular Half Drow

My first full play through on release is going to be a Half Drow who has been shunned from the Human world for been Drow and shunned from the Drow world for been human where all their life everyone has lied to and betrayed them so as a result they are only looking out for themselves but have a sense of honour and justice that makes them believe they are superior to everyone else because once they give their word they will never break it and never tell a lie. I plan on playing them as lawful evil even though you can not pick alignment.

A character I would love to follow and see evolve ! Maybe they will learn trust along the way

Btw, I like that you will try to not break vow or lie without alignement
I feel this even more rewarding because the only person who can judge yourself is you, as a player, if your lie or break word
Enjoy

Druid is usually WIS > CON > DEX > INT/STR/CHA

Going by pure ability score this means

Gold Dwarf / Wood Elf > Human > Half-Elf > Strong Heart Halfing > Shield Dwarf > High Elf / Lightfoot Halfing / Drow > Githyanki / All Tieflings

Technically Gold Dwarf should be higher, but I'd say Wood Elf is really equal and more traditional/cliché pick.

This is from currently playable races. There are a few in PHB to come.

Drows don't and High Elves are not very good druids, in fact even Shield Dwarfs can bebetter than high elves.

The Variant Human is the PHB race that might beat out Wood Elf (the current best) in some druid builds, and Variant Human is in PHB (as an optional), so we might get it. This is due to Variant Humans getting an additional feat from the 1st level and makes them one of the best races for almost all classes.
