Rogue spec'd druid
I'm working on an Urban Druid who is a talented burglar.
High wisdom and Dex, everything else can be middle of the road.
She's a Gnome and I'm building under the assumption of everyone getting a lvl 1 feat.
I'm trying to decide what that feat should be.
I'm torn between 2,
Skilled, so that, when combined with the Urchin background, I can have all of the necessary thieving skills
or
Ritual Caster, so that I can have a familiar.
What would you suggest, or is there another feat that would be better to have?

Re: Rogue spec'd druid
If the Familiar is primarily what you're after, consider Magic Initiate: Wizard. You'd still have a Familiar (and you generally don't need to cast that spell more than once per day), plus you'd get access to useful burglary cantrips like Mage Hand and Minor Illusion.
Less utility options than Ritual Caster, but more options specifically for burglary.
Or, if you're allowed to use the Optional Class Features from Tasha's, Druids can now spend Wild Shape charges to get a Familiar for an few hours. So you could take the Skilled feat and still have a Familiar, albeit for shorter periods of time than otherwise.Last edited by RogueJK; 2020-11-30 at 04:05 PM.

Re: Rogue spec'd druid
In the new Tasha’s “book” you can replace one use of your wild shape to summon a temporary familiar.

Re: Rogue spec'd druid
The Telekinetic feat would let you cast Mage Hand while wildshaped to manipulate and carry things while in small innocuous forms.
Edit: I was wrong about this! Whoops. Too bad!Last edited by solidork; 2020-12-01 at 01:02 PM.

Re: Rogue spec'd druid
Skilled or Observant
Consider the Urban Bountyhunter background for a great Rogue-replacement suite of skills
