Isn't that the point?

In that case, where would it have a place? I find it much more frustrating to roll a string of ones on a d20 than having slightly less hit points than everyone else.

Yup, a good analysis and I very much enjoyed reading it. I'm still not sold on classes that rely on being able to rest for an hour numerous times in a dungeon, but it does make them a bit more powerful overall than someone with only daily abilities. True, but that's only one spell. I don't...

Excellent analysis. I suppose it does seem to be a bit more broken in earlier levels, but thankfully, from what I've seen and played, this edition doesn't have the low level sweet spot the rest of the editions had, so this is hopefully less of an issue.

I never said those abilities weren't good, but the aren't overpowered. The point is, I can see a druid losing his wildshape pretty quickly if he isn't careful, and it comes back to all of the classes: all of their abilities have some sort of drawback that balances them. Remember also that druids...

So what happens in the next encounter when the Druid doesn't have wild shape at all?

There's one really simple way to get a druid out of his wildshape, that I can imagine happening quite often: force him to cast a spell. Seriously, that's it, there's dozens of times when a spell would be more useful than a wildshape. Is it really that much of DM railroading when another player...

All of those are only gained by a certain individual wildshape. No creature has all of them, or even a couple of those. Flying around as a hawk to scout and your friends are attacked? Have to burn another wild shape in order to help. Climbing up a wall as a spider and get knocked off? Have to...

Yeah, I think you're doing something wrong there. For starters, a Druid at 2nd level would have around 17 hit points (8+5+4 for a 14 CON). He turns into a Brown Bear with 34 HP. A brown bear has an 11 AC, so the Hill Giant will hit it on a 3+. This is an 85% to hit, and the Druid itself likely...

In combat? Yeah, I can see that. A bear is going to have a bit better to hit and about twice the damage (two attacks) as a PC at that level. However, as time goes on, you'll see this wane more and more, until the brown bear is actually weaker, and whatever dinosaur the druid will be able to turn...

I really like the theme and flavor for this. This is what I liked most about fourth edition was that each of the smaller monsters had more opportunities to shine. I do think this is what they intended with 5E was to give a lot of options for expandability (I don't think that's a word) for all of...

Uh, not sure how your houserule is any better. If they take any damage the spell is finished, so the instant they get hit, which is likely, the spell ends and they take normal damage from there on out. I can personally see a good use of this if there were a large number of attacks. Say you're...

Seeing as how you're playing a diviner, maybe they are good at scouting and finding out information? All of the other classes are quite happy that there are no "god" wizards anymore. My entire group breathed a sigh of relief when they saw how much the wizard had been nerfed. It was never fun...

Wait, I'm confused. How does this edition change whether or not a 7d8 can be highly variable? Wouldn't it be able to swing either way regardless if you were playing, say, Pathfinder?

This is an immense amount of anger for something so small. I promise, regardless of the name of the company, they do not gimp classes in order to make others look better. The sorcerer is a cool class, and if you want specifics I can certainly give them.

Edit wrong person

I've seen this said before, but what makes people more impressed with the pathfinder bestiary?

I've argued so so so many times about the beast master being just as good as other classes. This doesn't seem necessary, and I could see exploitation happening very easily at higher levels. Since the wolf gets more powerful over time would you make the spell slot higher as time goes on?

Not sure what the problem is here. Yes, it does well with survival, but it's hardly necessary, or I would have killed the paladin and fighter I'm DMing for a long time ago.
