Well, first of all, hello everyone. I'm new around here, referred by someone on the WoTC forums. I've been looking around, and found a lot of information about druids, which helped me get a basic idea. However, I haven't been able to find some help in creating a character based only on the three basic D&D 3.5 books. This is roughly what I have/need:
-A level 1 Druid Half-Elf (Yeah, I know.)
-Stats 16-14-14-14-12-10
-Must be prepared for a very long campaign, probably going over level 15.
-The character should be focused on the aggresive spellcasting and fighting side.
-The DM is not very experienced, so it is easy to implement suggestions.
-The campaign will have a good load of dungeoning.
-The group has a cleric, an artificer, a bard and two fighters, all level 1.
-Nothing outside the three basic books will be used, but it may be possible to get an exception or two.
If anyone wants to take the trouble, I would like some advice on how to arrange stats and abilities, which equipment, weapons and armour to focus on, which feats to take, how to develop the character through the levels, and how to take advantage of spells and animal in battle. I have no idea which other information you need, so please tell me. Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is not an appropiate post for the forum.
