DRUIDS
Are Neutral avatars of the Wilderness, and human emissaries to Faerie. They read the omens of weather.
Druids cast Clerical Spells using Wizardly Dicepools.
Druids may use clubs, staves, flails and slings. They may use spears, axes, mattocks, and daggers as long as they are constructed of exotic materials such as bone or obsidian.
Druids begin with Animal Summoning from the Wizard spell list, and three spells from the Cleric List.
Druids may choose to Lay on Hands (treat all as Neutral) or Smite, but may never Turn Unholy.

This is going along with the stuff I've been fiddling with for Wizard spellpools, but anyway, maybe people will dig it. This hasn't been played yet, I'm just messing about with it.

I think neutral priests of some nature god are more than enough for druids and shamans. I'm sure they are going to get a spell in the final version, that can summon servants (including animals), their turning ability can be used against unnatural things (or holding fey and animals at bay), and their weapons can be limited by their god.

Still, it's an interesting little sub-class and it shows, how easy it is tinkering with DCC RPG. I was thinking a lot about something like this, mostly for warriors. A bit like OD&D's subclasses, eg.: with Personality 17, your warrior can become a paladin, you can lay hands, get some other stuff, some restrictions, and your hit dice is only d10, etc... Plus seperating races from classes and adding sub-races.
