Fighter / Druid

Fighter / Druid is a multi-class for half-elves and a dual class combination with many helpful abilities of both classes combined. In the perspective of the druid, he gains the ability to use any armor, a better weapon proficiency system, a higher minimal character ability points which increases the total number of the character, and more hitpoints due to the higher roll of the Fighter and constitution modifier for warriors. In the fighter's perspective the character gains the ability to cast priest spells. The weapons that may be used by this class are still limited to the druid's ethos.

This class combination is very similar to Fighter / Cleric, but the latter class combination offers arguably a better selection of spells (including Raise Dead and Resurrection.

As a dual-class combination, a player can combine all fighter and druid kits save for the Kensai (due to alignment restrictions), though it's advisable to start off as a fighter and then switch to a druid than the other way around, as this way you will have access to all armors right off the bat. Note that spending proficiency points for weapons Druids can't use are wasted when dual-classing to Fighter/Druid.

While it's possible to combine both Wizard Slayer and Berserker with a druid, the Wizard Slayer class kit is not advised to pick as it limits the selection of items that improve the druid's abilities.

The Berserker kits limits proficiencies in slings to one point, but the Rage ability more than makes up for that.

Please note that rolling a good Fighter/Cleric dual-class can be hard, as the minimal requirement for it are 15 Str, 17 Wis and 17 Cha.

Character abilities
Note: For the information of this table the human race was used, because they have no character bonunes/penalties related to race and therefore act like a 'neutral'. For other races this may be slightly different. See Character Abilities for more information.
