Druids are Shifty

[martinl]

The Druid template does not seem to have "SoD: Adventuring Companions." I assume this is an oversight, as all the other templates, as well as the pre-gen druid delver have it. (Actually all of the pre-gens have it as well for some blatantly obvious reason.)

That said, part of me is amused by the implied world building ... "Druids are shifty. Don't trust them."

"Hey Driud, I've been meaning to ask why are there so many tomato plants in your woods?"

"I like tomatoes..." /shifty eyes

I'd think it's somewhat subsumed in SoD:Nature. And for the record, the Barbarian has a choice between the two.

Doesn't mean I don't like the idea of shifty druids.

"Next thing you know, they'll be planting acorns in the town square! That's just nuts!"

As they approach a deep hole in the woods...

Druid: Hey, knight, got a joke for you;
Knight: Ya?

D: Why did the tree-burning knight fall down the hole?
K: I don't know... [get's pushed into the hole] AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

G: Heh, get's 'em every time.

Been that way since I wrote GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 1: Adventurers . . . but also, I sort of see druids coming into conflict with such a Sense of Duty: "I represent Nature's balance, which means any of you fire-building, machete-swinging bear-killers might have to become compost to help out." Of course, nice-guy druids exist and the sample druid exercised the option to pick disadvantages to be such a person. But my own druids aren't like that.
