Overview

Druids are protectors of the natural world, wielding primal magic drawn from the land, sea, and sky. They commune with animals, command the elements, and channel the raw power of nature to heal, defend, and destroy. A Druid's bond with the wild is both their strength and their sacred duty. Druid characters in Daggerheart draw from the Sage and Arcana domains, blending nature wisdom with elemental magical power. Their primary trait is Instinct, reflecting their deep attunement to the world around them and their ability to sense danger and opportunity in equal measure.
