[QUOTE="Vael, post: 9896041, member: 57043"] Yes and no. Druids are actually a bit MAD, as different beast forms use different stats to attack, and all the physical stats and Instinct are used. So a Druid that dumped STR is going to be a point or two lower than their primary casting stat even with the Beast form stat bump. Now, several combat forms compensate for that with inherent Advantage on attacks, which should put it back in the Druid's favor, but that's a condition that can be negated with Disadvantage. Druids are also Hope starved, as at least IME, Druid players tend to use Hope mostly to use the augmented Beast Form and maintain the Armored Beetles spell, so they have less Hope to boost their rolls as well. All my experience with Daggerheart so far (still only in tiers 1 and 2) have suggested that Druids are certainly powerful, but I don't find them OP or broken. DH's method of spotlight management does a lot and I haven't had issues with Druids overshadowing other players. Now ... admittedly I think once multiclassing becomes available at Tier 3, this can become more of an issue as I know giving a Druid access to say ... the Bone domain, for example, can definitely give them some very powerful options [/QUOTE]
