5e Druid Handbook - Land & Moon. If you don’t have the stats of beasts, you can download PDFs containing them here.
There are some goodies (such as the polar bear variant) only to be found in the MM, but all the basic stats are in the PDFs. Two things I won’t be going into here are aquatic creatures and how likely it is that you will have seen the beast I'm discussing (as that is highly campaign dependent, but still something to keep in mind). Conjure Animals has no restrictions on animals seen, but Wild Shape does. Don’t forget, the poorer the AC of your wild shape, the more attractive is Barkskin, as it sets your AC to 16 (which is better than any and all of these beast forms, probably no coincidence). If you have Darkvision and intend to Wild Shape into something with Darkvision, you should ask your DM for an interpretation on what happens. CR 0 creatures are not likely to be much use in combat, but they will still have some uses for scouting, blending in, or utility. Badger: Burrow speed. Ankylosaurus: Huge. Druid dipping - an addendum.
Sometimes it can be hard to tell the difference between druids and wizards.
Sometimes there is a distinction with no difference. Who wants to have 13 int? Well, multiclass wizards, of course. The least visible advantage to a dip in wizard is their Ritual casting. Unlike druids, wizards need not have a spell prepared to cast it ritually; it need only be in their spellbook. A few cantrips can be welcome as well, even if you don’t have the int score to back up an offensive one. So wiz1 is not a very painful dip, and it comes with some compensation. Abjuration: Gives you bonus hit points from casting abjuration spells. Bladesinging (SCAG): If you happen to have a very high Int from rolling stats, this could be an option for moon druids.
Conjuration: Minor conjuration lets you make small, obviously magical objects. Divination: Portent gives you control of the world's chaos. Enchantment: Hypnotic Gaze can let you pretty much pacify one adjacent foe if you have the int to back it up. Magical Items for Druids - a commentary for players and DMs of druids. Amulet of Health (rar, att): You’re not likely to be the one to gain the most from setting your con to 19.
Your wild shapes are likely to have better con than your caster form, as well. But you do use a lot of Concentration spells. Animated Shield (vra, att): While technically able to help the AC of wild shapes (by activating it while in caster form and then shifting to wild shape), the 1-minute duration and possibly the bonus action activation do not work too well.

The Lady of the Lake, enchantress, sorceress, in the Arthurian legend The Lady of the Lake (French: Dame du Lac, Demoiselle du Lac) is an enchantress in the Matter of Britain, the body of medieval literature and legend associated with King Arthur.
She plays a pivotal role in many stories, including giving Arthur his sword Excalibur, enchanting Merlin, and raising Lancelot after the death of his father. At least two different sorceresses bearing the title "the Lady of the Lake" appear as separate characters in some versions and adaptations since the Post-Vulgate Cycle and consequently Le Morte d'Arthur. Names and origins[edit] In medieval literature[edit] The Lady of the Lake began appearing in the French chivalric romances by the early 13th century, becoming Lancelot's fairy godmother-like foster mother.
Another, unnamed Lady of the Lake appears to bestow the magic sword Excalibur to Arthur. In Le Morte d'Arthur[edit] "'Look! ' Later appearances[edit] 20th–21st century[edit] See also[edit] Rhiannon. Rhiannon is a major and classic figure in the earliest prose literature and mythology of Britain, the Mabinogi.
This is a set of tales classified as Celtic or British mythology, Welsh literature, Welsh mythology. This earliest prose literature of Britain was compiled c. 1100 in mediaeval Wales from earlier oral traditions. It is culturally prominent in literary, mythological or Welsh circles today, known worldwide in English translations. The Mabinogi is made up of Four Branches, or nodes. It is published on its own but also forms part of a larger collection known as the Mabinogion. Rhiannon features prominently in these earliest British prose texts which survive in three mediaeval manuscripts.
