I won a Druid in the last CTA but I haven't binded it yet as I don't know if its worth keeping or just selling?

    He has a decent Active Bonus, so he might be worth throwing into an active slot. He might be cool to run until you get an Ioun Stone, but once you get one it's the only companion you (or anyone) should have summoned. Augmentation companions just can't beat. I wish someone had explained them to me sooner so I could've avoided converting AD to Zen to buy other companions that I don't even use now.

    Thanks for the quick reply, I think I'll list it on the AH. Am I right in thing the Ioun Stone of Allure is the one I should get and is it bought or dropped? Thanks again.

    As far as I am aware it is only available through the zen store. It may also be worthwhile to hang onto the druid until it becomes a little more scarce and then sell it when the prices rise a little bit.

    Ok, so what makes the Ioun Stone so good? Shouldn't we have the active companion slots filled with other companions at least?

    yes you benefit from all your active bonuses. The Ioun stone is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good, and it is really as good as all those o's imply, because any and all stats it has are conferred to your character. so if you increase its power by 1000 and its crit by 1500 you now have 1000 more power and 1500 more crit. One important thing to remember though is that while you are conferred the bonuses of these stats they do not impact your gearscore like the active bonuses of other companions do.

    What traumapaladin said. Everything you put on an augmentation companion -- runestones, gear, enchantments in gear slots -- applies directly to you. It's like getting three extra gear slots with each piece of gear having two enchantment slots. Oh, and an Ioun Stone doesn't ever take damage or die, so you never again have to worry about running around the battlefield reviving companions. Augmentation companions are incredibly powerful and valuable.

    Sorry for this LORE question, but is the Moonshae Druid a gnome? He's smaller than my halfling.

    If so, with some of the modeling existing, does this mean we might get a gnome player race at some point?

    I don't recall any D&D references to gnomes really. I think they more or less filled that niche with halflings. Also the moonshae druid seems to be more on par with a leprechaun from what I have seen of him.

    Take that back there totally were gnomes according to my buddy.

    I appreciate you taking the time to reply, but I assure you they have been in D&D since I started playing in the 80's.

    he's very gnomelike IMHO

    I don't know how inclined gnomes would of been to being a druid or how to really determine whether the druid looks more like a Halfling or more like a gnome, but what I would say is a fair bet is that the relative lack of enthusiasm (at least on xbox) for halflings and dwarves makes me feel that its pretty unlikely they will be incorporating another short race anytime soon.

    The druid is excellent for DC and GF classes. If you're either of those, you should bind him right now.
    If you're a CW, you should still consider him for the recovery boost.
    The other four classes won't get much out of him.

    He's a halfling. There isn't a community of gnomes on the Moonshae Isles. About 4% of the population are Halflings though. Gnomes are most commonly found in Western Heartlands, Elturgard, and along the coastline of the Shining Sea, and some deep Gnomes (svirfneblin) are found in the Underdark, but they are very secretive (to avoid the Drow and Duergar).

    Hmm, his nose wasn't quite right for a gnome.... But the beard? bearded halflings almost unheard of. Good lore tho, thanks.
