Countered by my experience. They have squat for narrative plot coupons, spells handle everything that skills can do, and casters get skills as well. Keeping low level slots relevant with utility means even more slots to spam to make sure they continue to be the ones in the spotlight...

Make the shifter as the real shapeshifting class rather than change what the druid has been for 5 editions - a full caster. I do think it would be hugely popular. One of my first time players wanted to be a shapeshifter and was irritated they had to learn spells rather than just being Beast Boy...

I'd be fine with casters capping out at 3 spells total (1 highest, 2 next highest level), with partial recovery 1-2 times a day. As is, it's simply too much. The game has completely devolved into all casters, all the time. Casters power needs to be dropped dramatically, as it has been made...

The class that is a 9 level spellcaster shouldn't be able to also go all in on shapeshifter. The 2014 moon druid is fine for a non-caster. It's ludicrous on a full caster and needed to be nerfed into oblivion. Druid shapeshifting should be a set number of spells with specific adaptations and...

Yes they should. Keeping low level utility/debuff/buff spells relevant is part of the quadratic wizard problem. Spellcasters have too many spell slots period, and reaction spells like shield/silvery barbs allow them to nova even faster on low encounter days.

The AC shouldn't scale though. That's the entire point of bounded accuracy. The +5 AC is so good that it may as well make you immune to attacks for a round, with a resource that is largely inconsequential. It's not like a 1st level magic missile has relevance later on, but AC buffs/penalties...

Druids should have been nerfed to half casters if they're going to keep powerful shape shifting. As is, it's too much in one class, and just hearkens back to CODzilla days. No thanks. I don't think they should get ANY wild shape outside of spell slot expenditure to distinct forms.

Because if you don't want to do fantastic abilities you can simply not use them, whereas the people who want fantastic abilities can't get them otherwise. "I don't want steak so no one can have steak" vs "I want steak on the menu". Why does everything fantastic have to be a spell? Dragonborn...

Oh sure, I just think the summoner should get stuff to do other than pass their action/butter.

Maybe it's time to design classes for the people who want to play them, rather than letting the person who isn't playing the character dictate what they think someone else's character should do? It's a game of heroic make believe that you guys decide should only cater to one type of power...

Shhh, you said the quiet part out loud!

That sounds appropriate for 7th level, not 17th level. I want high level thieves to steal someone's identity and memories, or be able to jump through shadows, not just have slightly bigger numbers on stealth. I'd prefer some unique abilities from 9+ similar to invocations which include mythic...

Yep, PF2E uses troops, which is a far better format for keeping mooks relevant than tracking 20 different orc's hit points.

Because I can't fathom a logical objection to having someone motivate another person to push past the pain or fight on despite being exhausted or hurt. Have you never had a coach, trainer, or even seen physical therapy? If it's all just bumps and nicks, the only reason is some arbitrary divide...

If the summoner's only purpose is to give commands, I think I'd rather just cut out the middleman and play the summoned creature. "Dragon" sounds more fun than "guy who only talks to the dragon".

Like the healer feat? Or resting 8 hours? If you're describing HP as serious injuries, that's on you. Damage is nothing a good night's sleep won't fix.

Lack of easy access to magic items, including potions, talismans with "spell in a can" etc, have deepened the martial/caster divide, because now it either comes from your class, or you may as well not have it. Martials are expected to have magic weapons/items, otherwise they suffer...

I vote for half caster, with something like Summon Beast" given a duration of 24 hours and castable as a ritual, with concentration for the first summon removed. http://dnd5e.wikidot.com/spell:summon-beast Add something akin to invocations where they add ala carte options for players to...

Maybe we shouldn't design the game for those not even interested in how the basics work? Or at least not shackle one of the iconic classes to the lowest common denominator? Make simple classes for each group: Warrior, Priest, Mage, and Expert. All at-will abilities, no spell slots, no rest-based...

Isn't it once per short rest now?
