Just started this campaign and am the only spellcaster in the party (which I'm pretty worried about lol). I don't know which subclass to pick since I'm fairly new to dnd (this is my second campaign) and I haven't played as a druid before.
From what I've researched it seems like everyone is in agreement that the circle of the moon subclass is very powerful, but I don't really imagine my character being a part of this circle.. I'm hoping to be more of a defensive character and deal damage through spellcasting. I was thinking circle of wildfire or circle of stars subclasses instead, but I want to choose something that will be most useful for the campaign. Any help is appreciated!
Your entire party other than you focuses on melee with maybe some bow or crossbow attacks thrown in the mix. I would go with any sub class other than Circle of the Moon with that party!
I’d suggest Circle of the Land and pick Forest. It’s thematically appropriate and it will make you a better spell caster. Focus on healing, buff, and debuff spells.
Thank you!! I actually ended up going with circle of dreams to be the party healer and will choose buff/debuff spells to help out. Almost went with circle of the forest though!!! thanks for the suggestion :)
