Druids may use the following weapons: clubs, sickles, darts, spears, daggers/knives, scimitars, slings, and staves.
Archdruids, great druids, and grand druids are all separate by deity. Thus, there is a grand druid each for Chauntea, Eldath, Mielikki, Shiallia, and Silvanus (there may be
grand druids for Angharradh, Deep Sashelas, Rillifane Rallathil, and Sheela Peryroyl, but this is a very high level for demihumans to reach and is unlikely).
Hierophant druids gain the following additional abilities (as per original 1st edition rules):
16th Level: Druids are blessed with extra longevity equal to their level times 10 years.
17th Level: Druids' hibernation ability can last up to their level times 10 years.
18th Level: Druids can conjure air elementals
19th Level: Druids can conjure magma/smoke para-elementals
20th Level: Druids can conjure ice/ooze para-elementals
21st Level: Druids can enter the para-elemental planes at will.
22nd Level: Druids can enter the Plane of Shadow at will.
23rd Level: Druids can enter any Inner Plane, the Inner Plane probability lines (the 7th dimension), and
the Plane of Concordant Opposition at will.

All druids can pray for and cast any deity-specific spells, regardless of sphere.
Totem sisters, female moon elf druids of Angharradh, have the ability to use totemic magic. Totemic magic is not cast
as normal magic spells, but are instead inscribed upon an appropriate surface using a knife, paint, or
other pigments.
