Sif is a nice option, especially if you're less of a "soldier" and more "weapon-master." Tyr is a good norse one for an angle on courage and self-sacrifice. he's the God of Prot-spec warriors. <em>of course</em> like half the damn Norse Gods have war in their portfolio, and htey're a tight pantheon, so it's just as easy to worship all of them as a group.<br/><br/>Over in the Olympian pantheon, you've got the lawful GOod athena, and hte chaotic Evil Ares. In the real world, the Ares cult was mostly just a bunch of people praying for him to stay the hell away from them, and to favor theri side in a fight otherwise. In the D&amp;D universe, apparently he's the god of internet trolls or something. I'd stick with hte norse gods; if nothing else Sif is way hotter than athena.  ;D<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>As a chaotic neutral diety largely in it for the fight and nothing more, Gorum isn't exactly flowers and starshine himself. That having been said, he's no Hextor.<br/>Kord isn't my first choice, just not liking most of the other options. Tyr, maybe... he's a better fit than Kord, for sure.<br/><br/>Finally starting to get a handle on where Eztli's attitude comes from, too. He may have come by it honestly, frighteningly enough...<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=241802.msg11967424#msg11967424">Quote from: Chulanowa on 08-01-2016, 08:00:16</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><br/>Rubyslippers,<br/><br/>You don't actually use charisma for anything as a druid (I mean.. .wild empathy, I guess?) and high charisma doesn't immediately mean physical attractiveness. She could be just plain gorgeous... and prone to talking in chipmunk squeaks and hiding from strangers. At the party, she'd rather be making sure that the host's dog isn't frightened of all the strangers. When she gets an itch in public, well, she scratches. There's a low-charisma character, who can still be really pretty  ;D<br/><br/>Wild Shape will make your physical scores pretty meaningless; after level 5, you'll be going into battle a literally any small or medium critter your Knowledge: Nature check will let you know of. A black bear or wolverine are good fun! And of course there's your animal companion, which can be better than an actual person at the early levels. And if you just want to stand back, leaning on an awesome gnarly stick and throwing spells, you have an awesome spell list. So.. .yeah! Basically druid is one of those classes that is awesome no matter what you do with it.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Charisma for a druid = Animal Handling. Only really important if the character is intended as a trainer.
