How to Dress as a Dungeons and Dragons Druid

Ever wish you could become a druid from D&D? Well, with the help of our post, you will get an idea of how to dress as a Dungeons and Dragons druid. We give a bit of background on the druid character class before looking at the parts of a druid’s outfit.

To start with, a druid takes its name from ancient Celtic culture. In D&D, this base level character is restricted to simple weapons and light armour. They wield nature-based magic and can transform into an animal. This transformation from natural to beast form is called a Wild Shape. The beast form creates restrictions on the druid, such as an inability to use weapons. To wield magic, they often use staves or totems. Another name for a stave is a staff.

Druids can join druid circles. There are two main circles, which are the Circle of the Land and the Circle of the Moon. The Circle of the Land focuses on additional spells based on the druid’s origins. Meanwhile, the Circle of the Moon focuses more on adding to the Wild Shape ability. Additional sourcebooks have added other circles such as the Circle of the Spores. This circle has a connection to fungi as well as the cycle between life and death.

Our Choices in Circle Aesthetic

For our sample Dungeons and Dragons druid, we picked pieces that could work for many druids who may choose to join different circles. More specifically, we choose pieces that would work for members of the Circle of the Land and the Circle of the Spores. For the Circle of the Land, we imagine a connection to forests and woodland. Meanwhile, for the Circle of the Spores druid, we took inspiration from the popularly depicted fly agaric mushroom. The pieces we chose work for druids in both Circles easily, simply with choosing a different color.
