[QUOTE="ZombieRoboNinja, post: 3804257, member: 54843"] I agree completely. Make the "domains" give actual significant class abilities and interesting unique spells. Like, the Nature domain could give wildshape as a class ability, and the Animal domain could give an animal companion - there's your 3e druid right there. Anyway, my guess is no druid in the 4e PHB, for the same reason sorcerers don't make the cut: they're just too similar to another base class (clerics in this case), and most of their coolness can and should be effectively absorbed into that class. A lot of people are arguing that clerics are completely different, flavor-wise, than druids. I personally think that's because those people are imagining the Cleric class too narrowly. You know that "clerics of a cause" stuff that gets ridiculed so often? That's EXACTLY what a druid is, a cleric of "Nature" (as opposed to a cleric of the GOD of nature). [/QUOTE]
