'''11 Druid + 1 Cleric / 6 Druid + 5 Fighter + 1 Cleric:''' An alternative of the above build, this build takes single level of '''Life Domain''' Cleric for '''Disciple of Life''' and Heavy Armor proficiency. This is a better setup for a summoner Gish build, as this will make your (relatively) weak AoE healing spells significantly stronger. Save your spell slots for support and/or summoning, basically. | '''11 Druid + 1 Cleric / 6 Druid + 5 Fighter + 1 Cleric:''' An alternative of the above build, this build takes single level of '''Life Domain''' Cleric for '''Disciple of Life''' and Heavy Armor proficiency.

'''10 Druid + 2 Fighter / 6 Druid + 6 Fighter:''' This build plays a lot like an Eldritch Knight, using melee attacks to build up '''Arcane Synergy''' and then cashing in with reliable spells. Both '''Circle of the Moon''' and '''Circle of the Spores''' are good here, but play differently. A Wild Shape version of this build will spend a lot of time shapeshifted, only switching out for spells, basically, while a Spore druid version will be weaving spells with auto attacks more, uh, naturally. | '''10 Druid + 2 Fighter / 6 Druid + 6 Fighter:''' This build plays a lot like an Eldritch Knight, using melee attacks to build up '''Arcane Synergy''' and then cashing in with reliable spells.

'''6 Druid + 6 Monk:''' As a martial class, Monk gains extra attack at level 5. '''Circle of Spores''' Druid gives you temporary hit points and bonus damage on melee hits. In addition, you can use a reaction to do spell damage or raise a corpse. While you can definitely run '''Way of the Four Elements''' for spells, I find that '''Way of the Open Fist''' is just better (big surprise) and the Druid component gives you enough options to feel like more than just a pure striker class. | '''6 Druid + 6 Monk:''' As a martial class, Monk gains extra attack at level 5.
