kept secret, earn money as a courier or some type healer. Then by a plot of land in the middle of no where and use plant growth a bunch of times then sell the land and repeat then eventually make a permanent grove on every contininent for ease of transport via plants for allies and I.
I'd go public. You could be a valuable resource with two of create bonfire, druidcraft, guidance, mending, poison spray or resistance and two out of goodberry (selling to actual adventurers), detect magic (r) or speak with animals (r), You'd become even more useful if you got to cast darkvision, enhance ability, gust of wind, locate animals and plants (r), locate object and especially skywrite. The potential ~propaganda value could be huge.

wouldn't you be worried that you'd lose your freedom if someone found out though? get taken away and be experimented on or smth
That's a good point though I think that taken more than experimented on might be more of a risk. In many settings there could be knowledge of what druids are and a bottled druid (with new air supplied through a mesh) and ordered to pump out goodberries could be of great value to any fighting force.
Yeah, I might try to do things on the downlow and even see if there's a fence that could hawk some of the wares or take orders.
All the same, I'd imagine that anyone that took a druid captive might face various forms of nature-related opposition. An adventure for the purpose to rescue the druid might be fun.
Bam you're a 1st level druid = very minor. Not able to do a whole lot. ...
Excuse me?
Any druid that is remotely into general ecology might set up a recycling centre, request all forms of broken object and make repeated use of the mending cantrip for items to sell. Anything that seemed too miraculously mended could be sold into major city markets. Poison spray could make you great at pest control, weed... management. Take create bonfire and travel to ~any of the large buildings of Icewindale and become extremely popular. Guidance and resistance could also provide significant benefits. Detect magic and speak with animals, as rituals, could both be awesome but goodberry could be the clincher,
Sure, a first-level druid is still not as marketable as a second-level artificer, but they're still pretty awesome.
First are we talking about being me with the druid class in game or about me having all the powers of a Lx druid but being here on Earth? If it’s in game then it might be interesting to have 20th century knowledge to work with as well as the druid powers. But I would be just another druid in most ways. if it’s on Earth having the cantrips, spells and wildshape are things I would keep quiet about but could have some real fun with depending on level.
Cast Air bubble / water breathing so I don't need to struggle down the beach with a heavy cylinder while scuba diving (and I ewill not be the one to end the dive as my air supply is running low). Actually scratch that just become a shark (maybe a basking shark if I don't want to scare the fish away).
Get a job working with animals so I can use Speak with Animals to both learn more about animal behavior than any normal human ever could as well as teach animals a more sophisticated understanding of the human language so they're better at following human direction than ever before. I could make a lot of money putting on shows with animals who know exactly what I want them to do on command without needing to spend months training them to understand my commands. Then I could use that money to open my own animal conversational facility.
After that I just need to work until I am a high enough level to cast Awaken. Then I'll slowly amass an army of animals with human intelligence, teach them how to become druids and cast Awaken themselves, then send them out to spread the gift of intelligence far and wide to as many animals as they can so that when the time came I'd have enough support to take over the world! Muahahaha!
I'll need a lot of agates though. Should probably start with a squad of raccoons that can rob rock shops and new age medicine stores.
I would completely become the male version of Poison Ivy from DC comics. Go to all the local parks/farms cast Plant growth over 8 hours, Call lightning on machines clearing woodlands, Geas on CEO's of insanely polluting companies to change their policies, and likely travel to most natural disaster areas to help out in any way I could. I would try to hide what I could do, but my dumb self would likely last all of 30 days of doing that before I did something dumb and am exposed by some Teenager making a Tiktok.

I would probably be almost the exact same, only I would have like a million pets to help...
And I might be an elf anyway, even if I'm on Earth...
But let's get to the point...
I WANNA HAVE ALL DA PETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all, I'm Druid_Girl31, but please call me Druid. I am (a/an) CERTIFIED INSOMNIAC, PAN, alterhuman,BADDD DM, and obsessed with HAMILTON! Why? I'm just cool like that!
I would be a Moon Druid level 18, fighter level 2. The strat would be find the biggest baddest dinosaur you can, then wild shape into it. Most dinosaurs have insane multi attack combos, so if you combine that with action surge, you are looking at TONS of damage, and you would also EXTREMELY tanky. Unfortunately from what I hear most DMs don’t play with dinosaurs tho

I think you have missed the "in real life" part of the thought experiment. So, you probably won't be finding dinosaurs (bones and fossils would not count) and there's no DM. Also, it doesn't seem like multiclassing is permitted in this.

Ok.
Also dnd rules say: “Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before.”. It doesn’t say that you have had to see it in first person, so I could just watch Jurassic park and rock up next morning as a Dilo or a velociraptor. That’d be cooool

if u were a druid irl, what would you do???? what spells could you be casting, would you keep it hidden from people
what do you reckon would happen to you if the authorities found out? im curious lmao
I would shape change into a dog and finally be able to run with my dog and actually keep up.
ZAMN THAT'S SUCH A GOOD IDEA
kept secret, earn money as a courier or some type healer. Then by a plot of land in the middle of no where and use plant growth a bunch of times then sell the land and repeat then eventually make a permanent grove on every contininent for ease of transport via plants for allies and I.

depends on the level.
Bam you're a 1st level druid = very minor. Not able to do a whole lot.
Bam you're a 20th level druid = a lot of options, ideas, ways to do good things while staying hidden, etc.

Turn into a bird and escape or a hippogriff and eat said captor.

i like the recycling hack!!!!!!

Wisea$$ DM and Player since 1979.
I would tame animals for me to keep them, then maybe test some of my power by doing stuff with bamboo or trees, then maybe hang out with the animals.
Get a job working with animals so I can use Speak with Animals to both learn more about animal behavior than any normal human ever could as well as teach animals a more sophisticated understanding of the human language so they're better at following human direction than ever before.

Muahahaha!
I'll need a lot of agates though. Should probably start with a squad of raccoons that can rob rock shops and new age medicine stores.
Since I repair/fix things for a living, I'd get a hell of a lot of use out of mending...
though I'd probably quit my job and go live in the middle of nowhere as an animal.
I would completely become the male version of Poison Ivy from DC comics. Go to all the local parks/farms cast Plant growth over 8 hours, Call lightning on machines clearing woodlands, Geas on CEO's of insanely polluting companies to change their policies, and likely travel to most natural disaster areas to help out in any way I could.
