Any tips for a druid venturing into the Underdark for the first

A fire beetle will die in one or two hits by basically anything that exists. This will also killed your druid, no matter his level, since you are obliged to use the beast's hit points.
This is a bad idea. All you need is the Light Cantrip or anything with darkvision (tremorsense range is too small to be useful). Do not become this fucking beetle, not even as a joke.

That's not how that works bro.

>>53142347
For what purpose, other than serving as a lantern for your bros?

If the beast drops to 0 hit points, you drop to 0 hit points. And the beast he wants has 1d6+1 hp. What are you talking about? A commoner could kill him with an improvised weapon.

Take heart that if you die, your companions get a shitty light source from your beetle corpse.

When you drop to 0 hit pojnts you revert back to your regular form.

Who now has 0 hit points.

What druid path did you take? it may be better to choose something with dark vision or tremor sense that can act away from the party. Like a forward scout.

No, you have however many hit points you had before transforming, minus the excess damage past 0 taken by the alternate form. You basically keep your own hit points inside the alternate form like it's a vehicle.
This is what allows the "onion druid" exploit, where the only way to kill a level 20 moon druid is to one-shot both beast and true forms in the same attack, otherwise they immediately transform again as a free action.
Read the goddamn rules.

That makes no sense.

Half this board lives only to answer dumb questions.

Beasts hit points count as temporary hit points on top of the normal ones

hoho what a retard

>>53148685
To be fair, I think it works that way in 3.pf while op is probably in 5e judging by his picture.

>>53148685
It still makes no sense.
