Thanks for letting me know someone have actually read this:)
Let me unswer your question to the best of my ability
I choose to kindly disagree.
First of all, if I understand correctly what you mean by it, obviously the game is not an uncaring sandbox, it is still a stroy where the PCs are the...
Love your posts as usual Quickleaf.
May take might not work for your game, but for ToA it is, provided how big the world around the PCs is, to make things happen that would effect the PCs and give them more opportunities and subtly guide them towards the clues.
For example, if after 10...

Somewhat offtopic - what is a Gunsmith?
IMO Forest lends very little to the flexibility. Modt of the spells from the list are Druid spells and situational ones, too. I believe Divination to be a good spell, but nothing groundbreaking. Most of the flexibility comes from being a Land Druid. Land...
I've run a group with one.
Spell selection is ok, I think terrain selection effects nothing else? Land druids are often underrated IMO due to the early power surge by Moon.
The usefulness depends on party composition - meaning the value of access to some things depends greatly on whether other...
