Druid Subclasses

[crusader74]

Can anyone please explain why my druids are forced into one subclass. I cannot choose anything other than druid of the land. The other options are not available.

If your Tav is a druid, Tav should get to choose their subclass.

However, Halsin and Jaheira have defaults. Halsin's default is Circle of the Moon, Jaheira's default is Circle of the Land.

The only way to choose something for them other than their defaults is to respec them at Withers.

[crusader74]

nope. there is no subclass options for any of my druids. there is no reason for this that i can speak of.there is none. i have reported this issue. all i get is the standard automated messaging. how do i respec that at withers? do you means respec that as withers? Either way, yeah, I redo the attributes at character creation, to increase the wisdom.

Take a screen shot of the level up screen (at or after level 3, please) so we can see what you're seeing.

If you can't choose a subclass for Tav as a druid, there is some kind of bug you are experiencing, very likely mod-caused. Normally a player rolled druid should get to pick their subclass at 2nd level. (This is earlier than other classes.)

Let me also add the hireling Danton I think has a pre-selected druid spec also.

When you respec a druid AT Withers, it reboots to level 1, and should get to select a new subclass at level 2, even if previously there had been a default.

IIRC you have to be level 2 or 3 to pick the subclass, no? It's been a bit since I played. I was pretty sure the subclass choice isn't on the character creation screen. Maybe it is.

Go Druid of the Moon. Best Druid.

Is there any chance you have or have ever had mods installed? If not, no worries, just a good thing to check first

Yeah, you don't pick your subclass until level 2.

[crusader74]

the only thing i did was take 2 from charisma, to mabe my 8 int a 10. am I supposede to have higher str, and lower my wis? cause all of my druids are forced into circle of the land thete are no other alternatives

[crusader74]

I have no mods for this game. subclass choice for level 3 is automatic. i get no selection. I have reported this issue 5 times. they are doing nothing to fix it. I am the ONLY person having this issue. so they are not going to fix it then.

[crusader74]

yeah again i don't know who danton is. I have only beaten goblin bosses on one char so far.
every druid i get chooses subclass at level 3, and it is automatic circle of the land thank folks for giving me no useful information.

If you are the only person experiencing this, it's typically considered "user error". I've respecc'd Halsin, then switched him back, and respected...another Druid as well.

Are you using the guy at camp to respec? Do you have level 2 or 3?

I just rolled a hireling. Yes, it selects "Circle of the Land" by default and has a circle with a checkmark next to it on the second row on the Top Left of the Screen. (There are a total of 4 Circles - the first two have check marks, the third has a "!" to choose a cantrip, and the last is also checked for "Prepare spells 5/5").

CLICK THE CHECKMARK next to "Subclass: Circle of the Land" - that will pop up the menu with three subclasses, with "Circle of the Land" (outlined) and next to that is "Circle of the Moon" (not outlined) and then "Circle of the Spores". To change it, select the other Circle you want.

Even though those are checked off - you can still edit them at any time by clicking the Checkmark to edit. I recommend clicking the "Prepare Spells" so you can take the opportunity to edit the spells you have selected.

Hope this helps.

Click on the Circle of the Land and then choose a different subclass. It's the same with every companion and every class that gets a subclass after level 1.

The game will auto select a sub class then you level up but if you click on the subclass on the left on the level up screen you can change it to what you want.

My 4 druids could choose their specialization and be multiclassed if I wanted to. But this was more than a year ago.
Larian's support is usually responsive and quick enough. Their tools to do so are quite easy to use too. It's weird you have to wait that long.

I am having this exact same issue as @crusader74. I have never used any mods. There is no option to choose a different subclass. Also FYI, druid subclass is gained at level 3, not 2.
This seems like a really unfortunate bug for druid players to not be able to play the subclass they want. I even tried respecing with Withers and the subclass doesn't show up as an option to change.

https://bg3.wiki/wiki/Druid#Level_2

Druids do not subclass at level 3, it's level 2. Always has been.

You are either not understanding how to change subclasses or you've got broken files. Verify your files with Steam, especially if you have never used mods.

When you respec;

Go to Withers.

Do your Respec.

Set your stats.

Press the level up button after first Withers stat screen is done.

On level up screen, make sure you click EVERY OPTION on the left, including the one that says "SUBCLASS" when you're on level 2 level up.

Pick Subclass.

If you cannot pick a subclass, your files are borked, either from bugging out (verify and/or reinstall will fix) or from mods you used before that borked your files.

Also; this thread is a year old. If you're having issues, make a new thread.
