Sure, you could kind of go the Disney princess route with animal companions, and have them all magic and sparkles and painting with all the colors of the wind, but I'm not enough of a hippie to play (or run) that as anything other than camp as f* parody. Which probably isn't the sort of game most players would want in that scenario. It starts tripping the same warning bells that helped make Werewolf my least favorite White Wolf game ever (which is why, ironically, when playing the game about eco-warrior nature-loving werewolves, I always picked the technology obsessed clan with laptops and cyborg parts - because f* nature). I've actually been playing Druids more and more. Mostly because they're full casters in 5e, who at level 2 can transform into a motherfucking bear twice every short rest. But I've played a character who wanted to be a liaison for the forest and out how to properly create a balance between cities and the forest. Viewing everything through a long-term angle as well, so letting them get fallen timber rights for finished goods, and so on. Then the game turned into a monster bash game, so I should probably revive him. I've also played a lizardfolk who completely understood human culture, and just didn't give a shit. Eating some rats, nap on the street, and so on. Fun silly stuff, but it makes my point. The point being that what people predefine as "druidic archetypes" just suck for games, and people can figure out other things to play, they just need to be creative. ParanoidObsessive posted... If anything, it's like if Star Wars had no Han or Chewie but Luke had 3PO and R2 but also a couple of combat droids. The story as a whole can still be about the Force and overcoming evil in one's heart and redemption and so on, but the guy shooting a blaster at the Stormtroopers is now made out of metal instead out of meat.
