I play last day a game with 5 players(6 with me) and a DM. Some of them said that a druid is just a gay and homosexual class. I don't want to tell bad of that things... but they said that that class is underpowered. What could I say to make them prood of a druid... it's a powerful class... for me in case.

Transform into a dire bear and buff using Natural Spell, then lay waste to them all.

Do unto them what Hurricane Katrina did to New Orleans.


Hint: It involves Wildshaping into a Fleshraker.

Ask them if they've mixed up "Druid" and "Monk". Then explain the meaning of CoDzilla. If they still don't get it, then upstage the Fighter as a tank in the next fight and watch him as he realizes that you're doing his job better than he can.

Druids are the most powerful base class in 3rd Edition D&D, with the possible exception of Clerics (and Wizards once they get to high enough level they never have to worry about melee). Once they get wildshape and natural spell (sixth level), they are good at everything and bad at nothing. They have class features that are equal to whole other characters if optimized correctly (Animal Companions).

Sorry for all the parentheses. Also, in before this thread is torn to shreds in an argument about homosexuality and its use as a pejorative.

Well your group clearly has some issues with reading and understanding.

There is nothing in the description of the druid that indicates anything about sexual preference.

Change gaming group (like it's easy to find another one, I know) ? Those guys seems pretty hard to play with.

It would be good if they were hippy-ish, even though they are supposed too be more like " lo - my wisdom and strenght comes from nature ".

The problem is that they are more die, die, die - ish.

Since "guay" in Spanish slang equates more or less to "cool" in American English, I think it's pretty safe to say that druids would be "guay." In a totally badass and destructive way, of course.

At 8th level (when you can first wildshape into a Large creature), try a Polar Bear with Greater Magic Fang, ability enhancement spells, etc. If you really want to be mean, Rusting Grasp random pieces of equipment. If they're magical, do a targeted dispel, then Rusting Grasp. Then with their armor ruined, start beating them up with your claw/claw/bite pwnage, at +15/+15/+10 to hit (bad for even a high-AC character at that level, really). That should be a good start.

They obviously haven't seen an optimized druid.

I don't think you should hang around people who call every thing they dislike gay. And if they say that they don't mean anything by it and use it as slang tell them to stop jewing you and quit the niggerdom. That's what I did to my friend for a while, now he doesn't say gay in an offensive manner.

Gardakan

They call druid gay like a joke... they don't like my overpowered build. They're meaning is also sarcastic... i stay with her. I will explain to her that i am not overpowered...

They are supposed to love nature, and nature is traditionally Mother Nature, so arguably druids are obliged to be either straight men or gay women... well, or bi.

I think we misunderstood the problem (probably because you just said they were calling you 'gay' and didn't specify whether that meant gay-weak or gay-overpowered.) So what they said was that it was gay for you to use such an overpowered class (can we stop calling things 'gay' now? It's a miracle this thread has avoided exploding as long as it has.)

The problem is that you are overshadowing your entire party. Stop doing that, or find a group that's closer to your preferred power level.

::Puts on the flak vest::

If I got that kind of crap from my gaming group, I'd make them eat their words.

So you have a druid? they think the druid is "guay?" ... digress on typos/ attempts to bypass the site filters....

The point remains the same. Play it up. Turn that character into the worst stereotypical homosexual ever. (think of the tailor from Kung-fu hustle, if male.) Now that no one is taking your character seriously, proceed to do what druids do best... Maul your opponents without a shred of mercy.... all the while hitting on the most hetero member of the party. Make everyone extremely uncomfortable..until they stop associating sexual preference with combat prowess.

If anyone starts complaining that druids, being nature oriented, should only be "red-blooded heteros", look up some studies linking overpopulation with sexual orientation. Use them to back up your character's stance that there are too many humanoids in the world and that population must be controlled "by any means." continue to hit on the "macho men."

So, is the problem here that they say the class is overpowered or underpowered?

It it's overpowered, then back off a little from combat and use battlefield control/healing/buff spells.

If it's underpowered, then your group has a strange concept of suckiness.

Kind of like pretty much any reptilian sentient being? They are also despised for being overpowered.

Gah, druids no more have to be hippies than I have to shave every full moon.

Umbra, half-wild elf druid
He was a feral beast of a man who didn't care if animals were being hunted or woods burned... as that is the natural way of the wilds. As long as it didn't threaten the forest as a whole he didn't give a crap.

Bandytwine Damps, gnome druid
He is an expirementor, breeder and alchemist. He is fascinated by nature and its possibilities and has an almost fairytale air. Basically a scientist who's life is... life. By turning into a tree he understands trees, and by mixing together animal parts and herbs and the like he's realized how to tap into magic.

He especially is fascinated by plants and is trying things to mix plant life and animal life together and took the Lichenfriend PrC.

Chaim Hyman, human druid.
He's a farmer... who really loves the land and his animals and has an almost religious connection to it. He's also a big family man, married to his wife of 10 years and has 5 kids.

He's absolutely civilized too, but sees nothing wrong with taming the land as long as it is cared for, thinking it is sentient beings place to care for it, be its stewards, but also to make use of it. He's very alike to the amish in his mindset.


None of these come close to being a hippy...

A just slightly evil and rather disturbing idea..

Alright then. Sound like its about time to get yourself a few hoes... I'm sure you can think of someone.


(Just kidding - DON'T do this! Even if it would be funny to see the shocked looks on theyr faces. No, seriously, I'd really advice against it.)

Having read through this thread and then returned to the OP, I don't see any problem. So what if your druid's "gay and homosexual"? My group once told me my fighter was smart!

But I already hope that they aren't true.It isn't so much about his theories... in the field of psychology and psychoanalysis in particular, he's like Newton is for physics, or Darwin is for biology. Before him, people were practically just stabbing around in the dark with electroshock machines... he made some errors, and a lot of his other theories were incomplete or contained errors, but those are trivial compared to the importance of his overall ideas, which were the framework for nearly everything that came later.

2008-02-10, 05:26 PM
Hmm... I like the 'play a very gay character' idea. If you can't beat 'em, annoy 'em, and all that. Make sure you play up every (false) stereotype of homosexuals- effete voice and all.

If that doesn't suit you, remember:

So by all means, if you must win that argument, take you C.o.D. to town. Annihilate the opposition. Make the NPCs and other players scream "Oh no, it's C.o.D.zilla!!!!!" in badly dubbed English. Breathe radioactive fire. Knock down buildings. Then stomp out of the burning Tokyo that is the ruins of the game and swim off into the ocean, seeking a DM with some basic cognitive functions.
