[QUOTE="JoeNotCharles, post: 4723834, member: 79945"] I also own the book, and I'm a character reviewer but not a judge. I'll note: - Characters from this book should have their powers copied onto their sheet, so once the character reviewer makes sure that's done correctly, the judge and DM don't really need the book - It's only $12, which is pretty cheap compared to PH2 and other books we've already approved. (I wouldn't want to require all judges to have Martial Power and AV, for instance, but there they are.) There are quite a few reviews out there, and threads on enworld, discussing the balance. He didn't say the PH2 Druid would have no spellcasting at all, just that it was mainly based on wildshape with spellcasting as a secondary feature - which seems to be the same thing you're saying about "less than wildshape for most builds". Is it possible to make a PH2 Druid without any wildshape at all? If you do this, do you still have a good selection of powers? I'd like to pay a Druid that rains lightning from the sky on their enemies and heaves huge chunks of rock up from the earth beneath their feet, with a side order of summoning swarms of insects and spirit wolves. I have no interest in turning into a wolf myself. Does the PH2 Druid support that? (I don't have the book yet.) If not, I'd say the two classes still feel different: the one's focused on casting and summoning, and the other's focused on casting and transforming. [/QUOTE]
