Nah, into a blue police box, of course. With a whooshing noise. :p I admit, I wasn't considering the full benefits of the cityshaping ability. Indeed, in a metropolis large enough (Sigil, I'm looking at you), an urban druid would indeed be a very funktastic niche to be.

It is an interesting proposition, certainly. A "full" bonus feat with no limitations is kind of a big benefit, certainly, and certain races are already well-disposed towards taking levels in their favored classes (Dwarves). I'd be persuaded to do something like that for PCs who take a lot of...

Easier to use by untrained peasant militia. Especially when compared with longbows (very skill-intensive), but even a crossbow is fairly complex by comparison.

Personally, I'm in the school of thought that likes to replace poor rules with good rules instead of no rules. Mostly because it takes strain off the DM. D&D is rules-based in most respects, so to me it makes sense to continue using rule mechanics for social skills as well.

I'd say that everything neutral has a place in Sigil, at least. Some of the more extreme-alignmented creatures would not tolerate the city, but other than that, it's a free-for-all. A few that haven't been mentioned yet Doppelgangers - At home in cities, true jacks-of-all-trades. Maugs -...

Yes, it certainly would. Like merging with statues and going for a stroll, sort of thing.

Literally deadliest? Probably the Xixecal (ELH) with its CR 36. Your average walking glacier

Well, Captain Jack dies multiple deaths during the first season of Torchwood. That probably wasn't quite what you had in mind, though. The problem I have with revivification magic is that in most settings, it's pointless from the character's point of view. They're dead, in heaven, indulging in...

I find the idea of a Druid wildshaping into an Animated Object to be incredibly goofy. Turning into an animated sedan chair, pillar, mailbox or a paving stone just doesn't have the je ne sais quoi.

I intensely disagree. In a story, who the characters are is always the main point. Without it, you end up with bland, featureless puppets doing everything, i.e. the D&D equivalent of a Chuck Norris movie.

An intensely hypothetical question, but yes, I believe I would. That's just the way I'm wired. I.e. wrong. And no, I don't have any friends, so the point really is moot.

Personally, I couldn't keep playing D&D at all after something like that. I'd have to take a break of at least several years, maybe indefinitely.

"Minauros City"? Sheeee-eesh. I am disappointed more and more.

Another good explanation is the notion of cosmic balance. The Rilmani don't allow Metatron & Co. to start messing with the Prime without evening the cosmic odds some way.

Oh bollocks. That sounds disappointing, like someone's taken all the intriguing side plots away from our favorite Infernal denizens. What next? Declaring A'kin's alignment out loud in FC3? (thankfully, I don't think we're in danger there)

My personal magic 8-ball suggests you're on to something here. There are so many options for the core classes that I'm beginning to wonder if there is such a thing as too much flexibility.

For me it's Kenku and Githzerai. The former because they've decent stats for rogues, the latter because of their backstory.

As someone who was writing a very ambitious NWN mod about a millennia-long Asmodeus vs Lucifer grudge match for the control of the Hells, I'm definitely going to buy this one..

Approaching from the opposite angle, what would be the worst group that still had four distinct character roles? :-) Somehow, I guess it'd have a Soulknife...

I vote Yes, but I feel some spells should not be Evil in the first place. Deathwatch among them, since it provides only knowledge to the caster and doesn't do anything directly harmful to anyone.
