Limit Break Dancing
Nah, just a follow-up to my earlier post from Session Zero, where my players were teasing each other about rangers and bards. The pro-bard player decided to go with druid b/c he liked the lore and houserules I had written.This feels like it would have been ok for the thread asking for party character classes? Miss-post or did I fail an insight check?
There is a major faction in this world called The Enclave of Old, a group of druids and elves who live in a colony and share a kind of hive-mind, like bees. The player can trade their Wildshape ability for Arcane Recovery if they wish. The premise is that they draw fresh power from the pool of magic back at the "hive." The player hates Wildshape, and this seemed to be an attractive substitute...albeit a boring one.
Also, there are lots of non-metal armor options for druids in this world: chitin from monstrous insects, magically altered wood that is as hard as iron, scales from various monsters, etc. No arbitrary armor restrictions...if you want full plate for your druid, go hunt some ankhegs.
All classes start with their key skill proficiency for free (Arcana for wizard, Perform for bard, Nature for druid, Survival for ranger, etc.) It never sat right with me that druids had to spend one of their two skill proficiencies to get Nature, so I fixed it.
There are a few others, but these are the biggest ones.

I'm relieved to report that we don't have any bards or elves in our party. So: no pineapple or tuna on this pizza....but lots of kale and mushrooms.
