[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 3800785, member: 50987"] Ugh, I would be incredibly disappointed if this is the case. That was my Number One problem with the 3.x druid: it had all of the flavor of a cleric in leather armor. I would prefer to see a druid that is more similar to Terry Brooks's "Heritage of Shannara" druids...wielders of the elemental magic bound in the earth (more arcane than divine.) Heck, I'd even be satisfied with a Diablo II -esque druid, with separate talent trees for magic, shapeshifting, and summoning/controlling. I think the druid will be in the 4E PHB, and sadly, I think you are right, Nifft. But I am holding out hope that the designers put a lot of elbow grease and gray matter into the druid, and rebuilt the class to make it more balanced and distinctive. You know, instead of taking the easy way out and just cutting it. The druid has the potential to be a very interesting, very fun class to play. Just like the bard, may it rest in peace. :\ [/QUOTE]
