[3.5] Revision Spotlight - Druid class

[Kobold Avenger]

I can't spot any typos other than "Wodland Stride".

 

[Mathew_Freeman]

I'm loving the spontaneous summoning, it must be said.

that's going to have a big impact.

 

[Simplicity]

Very nice, it gives a reason to stick faithfully with an old companion.

I don't think it does... You can switch from a riding dog to an owl with no penalty. The penalty kicks in when you pick the bigger, meaner companions and then that "penalty" is balanced with
the bonus that you have a companion who can do more that hoot when you're in a combat situation.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

remove all religious restricitons crap. Just give the proficiencies in what they should styalsitically be proficient in. Doing this just for weapons but leaving the restrictions in for armor is just lame.

But what specifically would you recommend, Mr O'Glase? To wit: which weapons?

It's rather rude to call the changes "wussy" without having some specific recommendations of your own.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

What's wrong with them being able to stride through wodlands?

The Wods take umbrage at trespassers. Haven't you seen the signs in the Wodlands? Trespassers will be violated.

 

[ForceUser]

Druids are already kickass in 3.0, in 3.5 they are overboard. Bigger, better, faster, more. Yay.

 

[Branduil]

The new "Wodland stride" is a rape of the druid archetype. How am I supposed to play my woodland-striding druid if he can only stride through wods? I for one am very upset with WotC for listening to all the fanboys on this. Further, notice spot and listen are now druid skills. Combined with wildshape this makes them better scouts than a rogue.

This isn't a druid, it's a wodderogue.

 

[John Crichton]

Well, I've heard that there will be a good variety of monsters with the "Wod" monster type. Will appear on the ranger favored enemy list, too.

 

[Kraedin]

Is it my imagination, or has the satyr picture taken a dramatic turn for the worse?

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Wods have favored class: cleric (of Wodin, of course); hence their long-time rivalry with the druids.
