Well, now that PS:KLD confirmed along with PS:ZEN that Innistrad is so far the only setting that calls for an unusual build for Humans, then most human characters across the multiverse can be built. Perhaps a Plane Shift: Mirrodin/New Phyrexia would split Humans into tribes for the Auriok...

Even if monster stat blocks are best for these characters, how many Xth (1-20 of course) level PCs (1, 2, 3, or 4) do you think the following would be a fair challenge for? Nahiri, the Harbinger Nissa, Sage Animist Nissa Revane Nissa, Voice of Zendikar Nissa (Shadows Over Innistrad) Nissa...

I know, but the Monster Manual does suggest it as an option, and I'd like there to be not TOO much of a gap between canon planeswalker NPCs and potential PCs. For instance, I'd definitely prefer Nissa to have qualities that match up with her being a Joraga Nation Elf and some features that...

Perhaps one example of Channel Nature could be to use something similar to a Bardic Inspiration die to add the result to the CR of available creatures to summon while casting a spell that conjures creatures, and among that druid circle/domain, have a feature that allows certain other creature...

Oh ok, that basically answers my curiosity if canon Planeswalker NPCs HAD to be stat-blocked, or if they could be built as playable characters, but in this case, I'm not so sure Kiora is identifiably Cleric OR Bard, though I can see how either might just barely make some sense. She comes off as...

Trying to actively homebrew an appropriate Druid for 5th Edition for use with the Plane Shift: series, and my best answer has been custom druid circles that decide the available class features simultaneously at 2nd level like the Cleric divine domains, but in this case, with a separate selection...

Well, I tweeted to him when I ordered the artbook and asked if there would be a Plane Shift: Kaladesh to "sweeten the deal", and he liked my tweet. I'm JarrodtheRed btw I'm currently trying to finalize a system to draw mana needed for spells from specific terrain, and homebrew...

Ikr? Well that's true, but I'm trying to figure what options the druid has as actions he/she can take twice per long rest. That correlate with having a familiar.

So I'm currently working on a homebrew for Druids to feel appropriate in supported MTG settings thanks to Plane Shift: Zendikar, Plane Shift: Innistrad, and soon enough Plane Shift: Kaladesh. So far I've decided to simply alter Wild Shape, Beast Spells, & Archdruid to match the Druid on each...

If not, can anyone suggest a PoV for reflavored Wildshape on Innistrad or Kaladesh? Innistrad has lycanthropy, but only werewolves and for every Druid PC to become a werewolf at 2nd level is proposterous imo. So I'd like to homebrew a "Circle of the Umbra" to allow the substitute for Wildshape...

Well Druid of the Land already has Natural Recovery, which is pretty much equivalent to druids' "untap target land" / "add G to your mana pool" effects. So what's pretty much left is dropping plant creatures, elemental creatures, and/or "awakening" the land into an elemental creature. Pretty...

So I'm certainly working out what I can using James Wyatt's MTG Plane Shift series, and one thing I can't shake is the feeling the Druid class isn't a proper fit. While polymorphing and even some bestial transformations happen now and again in Magic, druids (or shamans for that matter) don't...
