That's a good idea. Two ideas I had for re-balancing were:
1. Use Wis to determine number of spells known, but use Con to determine number of spells/day. Maybe the Nature's Conduit uses Wis to know spells, but needs Con to withstand the "channeling" of the magic energy.
and/or
2. Use a weaker...
Good point, but couldn't you say that clerics "only" need Wisdom or wizards only need Intelligence? I see that a high Constitution gives this class both a good offense (more spells) and good defense (more HP), which does sound unbalanced and one-dimensional. Dexterity would still be important...
Here's a rough sketch of a unique magic-using class. I was thinking about ability-based spell bonuses for different magic-using classes, such as Charisma, Intelligence, and Wisdom. As a half-joke challenge, I tried to imagine a class that used some other unlikely ability, such as Constitution or...
Why not Basic D&D?

PHB page 84 says, "You can hold your breath for a number off rounds equal to your Constitution score..." DMG page 304 says, "Any character can hold her breath for a number of rounds equal to twice her Constitution score." The PHB and DMG errata don't say anything about breath holding.
Assuming...
Without a definitive source (such as the MM) for which body slots every creature has, the fair/unambiguous answer is probably "all or nothing."
However, I think Bad Paper's original question was: assuming an item CAN be worn in the given wildshape, MUST it be worn? Can a wearable item be...
Why prestige class so soon?
If she just started, why not let her play as a vanilla fighter? She's obviously playing a fighter well. Let her personalize her character outside of the class system with her chosen feats, skills, and character story.
