I love conjure woodland animals being cast before I wild shape so I have a couple of buddies on either side of me when I waltz into the battlefield.
That is an excellent idea! One I wish I had thought of when I was playing Druid…..😅
I like resilient for any class, but combining War Caster with Resilient (constitution) makes any concentration caster dangerous!
It’s def a great combo!
Well the thing to think about is; despite wildshaping being your main focus, you’re still a caster first and wildshape isn’t always going to be your best bet and you only have a limited number of times you can do it per day. While the combo could be considered overkill, it’s definitely not a waste if it is how you want to play your character.
@Professor Thinker, a Moon Druid can get use out of the whole War Caster feat while also having Resilient (Constitution).
Having advantage on Concentration Checks means you won’t have to worry about having to make them with disadvantage, and having proficiency in Constitution Saving Throws means you’ll still be very likely to pass those Concentration Checks when something gives you disadvantage to cancel out your advantage.
Moon Druids can (and should) hold a shield while also wielding a weapon, preferably a quarterstaff if they have the Shillelagh cantrip.
Since a Moon Druid can still be a melee combatant out of Wild Shape, being able to cast a spell as a reaction can be useful.
There. That’s every aspect of the War Caster feat and how a Moon Druid can take advantage of every aspect of it.
I really think Fey Touched should be in here. You can boost your wisdom and get access to Hex. Making you deal an extra 1d6 per hit. Especially good for the Deinonychus which can make 3 attacks per turn! Misty step is just a bonus!
I agree 100%! Fey Touched opens up an awesome range of customization!
If I am remembering right, I did this video before Tasha’s came out?
Getting permanent mage armor through the eldritch invocation feat is pretty sweet. Tends to increase your AC 2-4 depending on the wild shape epic at lower levels. You can also change your invocation in the late game.
That is an excellent use of that feat!!
Thanks!
Druid is a class I haven’t played very much, but a girl in my group plays a moon Druid in our current game. I’ll have to suggest this to her!
Awesome! You should def give Druid a try sometime!
Another one that a lot of people don't realize works: mobile: the +10 movement speed is included in you wild shape, and can effect swim and fly speed. and you can jump around the battle field with little wory of attacks of opportunity
Yep! It can be particularly helpful in every combat situation!!
First time viewer, as a new (level 2) Moon Druid, found this extremely helpful. Subscribed!
Awesome! I’m glad you found it helpful! And welcome to the channel!
0:53 - Alert
1:17 - Mage Slayer
2:32 - Telepathic
3:36 - War Caster
4:31 - Sentinel
5:56 - Crusher
6:43 - Piercer
7:19 - Slasher
I'd recommend Tavern Brawler.
Ooo I never considered that one!! That sounds really fun!
Telepathy is why I chose to make a Kalashtar moon druid. I can mind link with anyone I can see within a certain distance.
It’s such a smart move!! Even better if you can get it for free instead of using up a feat!
Moon Druid for life! Or at least until I come up with another character idea…
Like a monk?
How about circle of the forged druid?
@@scottb7115 we are not familiar with this Druid, where might we find it?
@@bluedragonguild dnd5e.wikidot.com/druid:circle-of-the-forged , does this help?
@@bluedragonguild it’s from exploring Ebberon I believe
My daughter plays a druid in my campaign. I think I'll suggest this to her for future advancement.
Excellent! The Moon Druid is so much fun to play! I hope this helps her!
I dont know why but the moment i opened the video i immediately subscribe... I like that guy's energy
Thank you so much, I greatly appreciate that! I can’t promise I always bring that energy but I do always try!
Total noob here trying to make something meta so my char survives until i learn how to properly do DnD combat & i can roleplay with them, what you guys think of this build?
Class: Moon Druid (duh.)
Race: Ghostwise Halfling (get that + Wisdom, get Lucky & Silent Speech to reroll 1's & be able to talk while in Wild-Shape.)
Feats: Warcaster & Resilient (Get Advantage in saving throws to maintain Concentration Spells + add proficiency to Con saving throws, those few spell i use before going Wild-Shape SHOULD stay up with all of that + Lucky.)
P.S: It's gonna be my first spellcaster ever, opted to make it a Moon Druid cuz honestly...it's the easiest spellcaster IMO (no seriously, i can switch my spell list every day so i get to try out stuff and find what works best without my noobness killing me for the rest of the campaign + i can just go into Wild-Shape and do melee if i'm overwhelmed by Spellcasting Complexity? awesome!)
That looks pretty good to me! That ghostwise halfling telepathy will be awesome! I also feel that the Druid is one of the best caster to play.
We have another video dedicated to the moon Druid as well, if that would help at all!

excellent thx
Of course! Thank you for watching!
A neat trick you can do with a Moon Druid is go with the Changeling race, and turn into a Dire Wolf. You still retain the Changeling’s racial feature to alter your form in minor ways such as standing on two legs, using your front paws as hands, and talking. A full on Werewolf at level 2.
Oh wow! That is awesome! I’d never have thought of that!
I did not expect this guy to be so close to the camera. It’s… intimate, to say the least (I’m not blushing you’re blushing 😳)
Yeah, you know I just like to up close and personal…through the screen😂 thanks for checking out the video!
instead of the telepathy feat i just took the gohstwise halfling race that has that built in.
The ghostwise halfling is an excellent choice!! One I forget about from time to time.
I think I’d like to play a Druid!
You def should! There are a ton of different subclasses for them! And a few of these feats work great with all of them!
Moon Druids are just so much fun!
They really are a blast!
Moon Druid!! It’s a ton of fun!!
It is!
Charger is definitely good to take
Yes it is!
Moon Druids get five ASI between 1 and 20. I have ten feats that I want to take. Whoa is me.
I understand your pain all too well 🥲
I thought you couldn’t concentrate on spells while in wild shape?
You can concentrate on a spell you cast before going into wildshape.
I don’t think I’ve ever rolled stats good enough to use my ASIs for feats haha
Well that is no good…
Resilient is always my must have at level 4 for druids any circle by level 8-12ish taking warcaster for that shield is also useful
@@phillyeagle5611 agreed! It is too good of a feat for casters to ignore!
Even with point buy you can generally get 1 to 3 feats in depending on how high level you go and by making some half feats.
I'm scared
Don’t be scared!
Resilient constitution always a decent choice to keep that concentration up even better. Lucky is eternally good, just not really class specific.
Absolutely! It is one of my favorites!
Another good feat from Tasia's Cauldron is Eldritch Adept, take the invocation called Armor of Shadows.. this gives you the ability to cast mage armor at will without using materials or a spell slot when you cast it , and doesn't use up concentration. Now why is this good ? Think of it as Magical Barding giving you 13+dex mod and replaces the beasts AC and replaces it with the one from Mage Armor, which in most cases is a net increase. Its also a way to get an AC in normal form that is better then studded leather that doesn't effect stealth. if you want further better AC that stacks with this in wild shape and don't mind a small multiclass 2 level dip, take 2 lvls in blade singer wizard for bladesong. Since you mental stats stay the same in a wild shape it should give the same bonus AC in either normal form OR wild shape.. it as well with give you the int mod not only as bonus AC it will also add that to concentration checks to maintain a spell. Normally i pair that with resilience (Con) feat for proficiency with Con Saves. By lvl 20 with a 20 int score that would be a bonus +11 to con saves , that in its self is enough to make concentration checks bullet proof unless you roll a nat 1.
This is some excellent insight!
I definitely hadn’t thought about Armor of Shadows!
Moon Druids are great and all, but they are already one of the most picked (if not the most picked) Druid Subclass. They have some weird scaling issues, but other than that, remain pretty S-tier.
Would LOVE to hear any insights to Circle of the Land and/or suggestions on how it could be improved and further removed from the slightly nature-themed Wizard it is today.
Nature's Recovery is fine and all, but it's not something unique, and it's then followed up by Landstride which is meh at best, and Nature's Ward and Sanctuary which are for all intents and purposes abysmal.
That alone wouldn't be too bad, but then you add to the fact that they're forced to use mainly concentration-spells, and many of the good spells they DO have access to are locked away into various Biomes (or lands huhu) that often feel very unthematic for a nature-sage.
I mean, I won't often be playing say ... an arctic druid or a ... grasslands druid. That's USUALLY not the iconic and thematic choice.
Sure a matter of personal flavor I guess, but still. Having misty step, Invisibility, sleetstorm Call lightning etc. Locked away (or forcing you to use up spell slots) just feels like a lot of... "jank" that other classes and subclasses don't have to deal with.
I'm not saying you can't "make it work" but CotL druids remain firmly in B tier, maybe A tier with the correct race+land combinations.
How would YOU change the circle to reach that fabled S-tier that Twilight domain clerics, Battle Masters, Chronurgy wizards etc. occupy? Could it be as simple as tweaking their spell-list? Or do they need a re-design? While still keeping them thematically on-point?
Would LOVE to hear your input on this.
Oh my, that is a lot to think about.
I’ve never played a Land Druid, but have been in a long term game with BDG Member Dave and I really loved what he did with that character.
As for game mechanics and how I would work to improve or change them I will have to do a bit of research and get back to you.
But thank you for your comment and for getting my brain thinking and giving me an idea for some channel content! 😃
Telekinesis: for those animal forms without hands. Yeah, it's a spell and can't be cast during wild shape but the mental shove is handy.
I think Mage Slayer is cool but the situation to use it doesn't come up. Your previous point was a moon druid gets stuck into the front line. That should be nowhere near casters (maybe if they have a gishy EK, bladesinger or hexblade).
Telekinesis is a brilliant idea!
And yes, mage slayer is definitely situational. While the casters aren’t frontline, I picked Mage Slayer in the interest of taking down those casters quickly when you get to them.
