Druids channel the elemental forces of nature and share a deep kinship with animals. Mastery of Wild Shape allows them to transform into beasts from all over the Realms.

Druid is a character Class in Baldur's Gate 3. Druids are closely attuned with nature and the animals that live in it. They utilize the power of nature to cast Spells and have the ability to transform into various creatures. Druids use Wisdom as their primary ability score.
