Me and some friends are playing a Tal'Dorei Setting game and im looking to play with a Non Lethal Druid setup very support Oriented. Any tips on some spells I can take at lvl one to go this rotue? Maybe some subclass ideas.
You could even do Shillelagh and use non-lethal bludgeoning damage.
Yeah, the only thing you really gotta keep in mind is this rule, and then you can do whatever else you like:
"Sometimes an attacker wants to incapacitate a foe, rather than deal a killing blow. When an attacker reduces a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack, the attacker can knock the creature out. The attacker can make this choice the instant the damage is dealt. The creature falls unconscious and is stable."
If you don't think your damage will be enough to kill, feel free to use whatever methods are convenient. But if it's possible you could kill your target, make sure you use a melee attack, be it weapon or spell. There's no lasting harm associated with getting knocked out, at least not in the rules.
Probably best to avoid big non-melee damage if you are going non-lethal. Harmful obstacles like spike growth or wall of thorns should be fine. If they cut themselves to death, it wasn't murder. Also entangle at low level.
That said, moon druid is good subclass. Fun fact: bears can maul people non-leathally (*do not attempt). You can still concentrate on helpful support spells while wild shaped.

Land and Dreams both have some good healing/ buffs for others.
Lots of good support spells for Druids,
Thank you kindly.
