I am pledging my interest here, as at the moment I am looking into playing a Circle of the Shepard druid with a heavy emphasis on recruiting animal allies through [i]Animal Friendship[/i], [i]Beast Bond[/i], and the like while using them to grant advantage to the melee in the party as well as the druid themselves, mostly because of [i]Primal Savagery[/i]. Do let me know if this is a viable and reasonable thing for this campaign; I do not intend to have a mass army that is, just a mighty companion or a few lesser beasts and the summons to follow in time.
