My only real argument to the Poisoned Brambles issue is why would a master of rites have a low wisdom?
Yes, those are the multiclass feats. I wrote them long before I had the books, so didn't know and never went back to correct them. I'll do so.
Hummingbird strike is a stance for you. As part of that stance, you give your allies a benefit until the start of your next turn. That way as you remain in the stance, you can continue to grant the benefit to your allies, but on the first turn you don't use the stance, they don't get combat advantage any more.

Taking a moment, thank you so much for helping out as much as you have. I'm almost ready with the Expansion and errata file I was going to post so that nobody has to redownload the whole thing (the whole thing will also be updated for those who do). If it's okay with you, I'm gonna include you as a major resource for updating and editing along with Dire Human. Thank you both.

Morpheus: "No Neo. I'm telling you that when you're 30th level; you won't need anything."
Still, I would give the druid the +4 to speed even if nobody is riding him.
...Ladies...
In all seriousness, why not just give the Wildshape: Mount a Mount ability? Say, "If the rider has the Mounted Combat feat, your Mounted Combat ability would be X", where X is something I can't think of right now. That would clearly show that the movement speed and bonuses aren't Mounted Combat abilities, but abilities of the power itself. To clarify it further, call it a Power Bonus.
I have the expansion uploaded and the full download now includes all of the expanded material for new downloaders or anybody who just wants one file to mess with.

Wow, I never had my name (or my nickname :P) in anyone's work before, Yay!!!
Seriously, it's good for me to know you like our opinions. You did an amazing job, and by listening to us forum members you also prove that you are not the "It's my work, you have to swallow it the way I want" kind of person.

Again, thanks for this masterpiece.
no problem, I'm glad it's been so well received.

I took the liberty of creating a new document with your Druid class.
It already have all the errata information and the new features in the Expanded Druid document you published. I made some changes to it, mostly cosmetic, like some power names that I found where not very good (thanks to Dire Human for the new sugestions).
I also took the liberty of reformating the text to be a little more like the core books. It's not perfect, but I tried my best at it.
If you want, I can send you the original ODT (OpenOffice) document. I tried my best to make the new format as easy as possible to edit, so any changes that appear from now on can be quickly implemented in the full text.
Also, if you think I've gone too far by reformating your work, just tell me and I will as quickly as possible remove the file for download.
Very nice, a functional and fun to play class. I've only tinkered with the templates (twice now), but I like what I've seen.
Thanks for putting it all in one file. I like having the templates in with everything else.
The only thing I hate is that they (WotC) are going to do the druid, and all of this wonderful work will seem moot for many (most people want something official). A lot of your ideas are very clever, better than mine, and I hope your next class is a unique one so it can shine even brighter, and longer.
That said, your druid is a great addition for our table and I've already got a player who has "called it" for her next PC. That's power there, she's an obstinate cleric/paladin! We're going to print the whole document and put it in our DDI/Supplements notebook for future use.

I look forward to seeing how WotC does the druid this time around. Mostly because I'd like to know how close I was. Also, even when the druid comes out, many of the powers I've created can very likely be included or reflavored to meet whatever requirements it may have. Also, the paragon paths and the epic destiny are still unique in their own right.
Anyway, very glad that so many have thus far enjoyed the class. I am actually working on the monk next, but maybe I'll consider a unique class. Idk, I'll see what I can toy with.

I have no doubt that whatever it is will be an awesome addition to oyr games. And you are certainly right, a lot of the Druid material should fall in pretty seamlessly unless they are writing the "druid form outer space" or something equally off the wall

After playing around with a few builds I came across an idea that would allow a little more flexibility with the class without really changing anything.
Instead of a Defensive/Offensive/Rites Focus choice at 1st level why not just 2 choices
Rites focus
as written
or
Wild Shape focus
Choose 4 traits from the following list, your choices cannot be changed
1) Increase your natural attack by one step (you can take this trait multiple times 1d6---->1d8---->1d10--->1d12(max))
2) Increase the damage dealt in offensive form with melee by +1 (you can take this trait multiple times its effects stack to a maximum of +3)
3) You Gain +3HP at level 1 and +1HP/2 levels (if you take this a second time you gain 1HP/level instead)(take a third time for 3HP/2 levels)
4) When in defensive form you natural armor grants +4 instead of +3 (increase to +7 at 21st and +10 at 30th) If you take this a second time your natural armor increases to +6 while in defensive form (increase to +9 at 21st and +12 at 30th) (third time for +7 , +10 at 21st, +13 at 30th)
Thus you could take 1) twice and 2) twice for the same offensive bonus or 3) and 4) twice for the same defensive bonus.
However you could also take one of each for
1d8 melee
+1 dmg in offensive
+3HP 1HP/2 levels
+4 nat armor
Or
1d12 melee
+4 nat armor in defensive mode
etc
etc
Just opens up the class a bit more without really doing anything to change it.

Your option isn't bad; but it is complicated. Yes, as written, the abilities are a little more narrow, but that's because of balancing. Bear in mind that you can be a defensive focused druid and take offensive attacks for more damage output; and vice versa. How would your suggestion play toward the powers with benefits for having chosen one path over the other?

I am running a 3.5 Forgotten Realms game. We are discussing converting it to 4th. One of the players is playing a druid and he was not happy when 4th came out without a druid. I will be giving him your druid to look at and I anticipate converting the game to 4th within the next couple of weeks. I will give it a couple of sessions to gameplay to see how things go and report back to you... looking at the end of July or beginning of August.
A game I am playing in converted to 4th two weeks ago and we are liking it so I don't think my players will have any problems...
Is there anyone working on a barbarian??? I have a player in my game currently running a barbarian... It would be nice for him to continue with one even though he is willing to play another race and class...
Tks for all the awesome work everyone is doing on this site.

Thank you both.
That keeps it clear enough that it doesn't require anything.
