Druid advantages: Animal Companion, more combat spells, shapeshifting
Cleric advantages: Turn Undead, no need to memorize healing spells in advance. Personally, I like the druid better, because I find Turn Undead extremely annoying (I hate it when the monsters make me chase them down to kill them). |

Also, can Druids and clerics use arcane scrolls?

Another advantage of clerics is they can wear any armor and use shields. I'm not too sharp on 3rd edition rules, but I don't think these skills come automatically for druids.

If you want a druid or cleric to be able to use magic scrolls/devices/items/etc, you can sacrifice 1 level of advancement to a wizard or sorceror (make sure that you have at least 11 in Wisdom (sorceror) or 11 in Intelligence (Wizard) so that they can cast spells. Then you can use all the scrolls you find. You can pick a thief class and choose use magic device skill, but this will not allow you to use ALL magic (a good percentage though). I found this out by using my Ranger and then picked up thief and then picked up sorceror. Thief allowed me to use SOME magic scrolls/items, but when I got 1 level of sorceror, I could use them all.

I have a druidess going ;thru ;right now--with a cleric henchman for the Beggar's Nest part. It sure is sweet being able to trust the cleric to take care of those nasty zombies while I attend to more important matters !
