[QUOTE="rounser, post: 919027, member: 1106"] "Direct damage" is M:tG-speak... As far as not pushing the druid back into the "cleric niche" (presumably that means healing), I ask... [SIZE=4]WHY THE HECK NOT?[/SIZE] They're already bribing people to play the healer. We've got fighter classes coming out our ears, and only one decent healing class which the game needs to be played so badly that they porkbarrel it. Chop down the higher level of healing spells for the druid and allow them to substitute-cast them, and you've done both the druid and D&D as a whole a favour! It's not as if healing isn't natural and would water down the druid's flavour, and it wouldn't be encroaching on the cleric's niche because that niche is far too important for only one class to fill it. I don't understand their reasoning, and have to say I'm a bit disappointed with this direction when there were big arrows saying "Go This Way For The Good Of The Class And The Game" pointing in the other (IMO).
