Hang on, doesn't the Moon Druid already get a specific special ability to let them Push or knock prone opponents as part of their animal form attacks?
Except all forms are equally good at it.Hang on, doesn't the Moon Druid already get a specific special ability to let them Push or knock prone opponents as part of their animal form attacks?
How does a druid who is turning into a bird the first time fly?I'm still not understanding the internal logic. How does a druid who may have just turned into a wolf for the first time have mastery over fighting in that form comparable to a warrior who has spent years honing their craft with a particular weapon?
No. It's the same as the wolf has now.As posted above, this seems to make druids better at doing these things than the animals that they are wild shaping into. I don't think you have explained anything like a rationale for giving moon druids mastery while in animal form.
It's true I forgot the playtest changes the wildeshape itself so that's a fair point.Fighters get more attacks, and action surge, and you can draw/stow after a Cleave, Nick, or Polearm master.
Topple with a maul and stow
Draw a pike and push
-bonus action push and stow
Action surge
Draw a greataxe
Cleave
So topple, push, push, cleave
More with dual wielder, which lets you draw/stow more.
It's only 2, as of the playtest. Moon druids get d6 damage bump instead of extra attacks.
Wasn't suggesting they get 4 attacks.
"Weapon mastery like" then.
Wolves can "trip" instead of "topple", if that somehow makes things better for you. Seems redundant to me, but hardly a hill I want to die on.
Well considering the lack of a grab (snakes, crocodiles, giant frogs, ect...)I don't have a problem with "weapon master like" tailored to the wildshape. I just have more of an issue with actually taking weapon mastery into wildshaping as a subclass ability.
No. Weapon Mastery is about mastering the tools of war.Should moon druids get a weapon mastery when they transform?
Seems like if we have a decent add to weapon systems set up for martials, the moon druid could just ride along with it.
I.e.
Regular druids do 1d8+Wis (no mastery)
Moon druids do 1d8+Wis, and choses a mastery.
*possibly based on the animal.
Bulls get push
Velociraptor get Vex.
Ect..
Level 14 moon druid can use a bonus action to change masteries.
Really, Moon druid, bladesinger, sword bard, and war cleric could all use mastery.
