Dragon #382 - Class Acts: Druid

New article is up: Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Class Acts: Druid)

The article adds a few feats and daily powers to the Druid focusing on his Wild Shape abilities.

I like the general idea, but I can't say I am convinced with all of the powers. Primal Serpent, Primal Boar and Primal Panther are severely lacking in the "Control" department for me. They might be great for a Striker, but I would expect a Controllers daily to focus on his primary role, not his secondary ones.

Liked the new forms - the boar form, for example, adds both striker and controller abilities in a nice package.

Where do you see the controller feature? All I see is in ability that discourages enemies to attack you. That's still pretty much a striker-like feature. (Think the Rogue's Riposte at-will power, or the Warlock's Infernal Rebuke).

I like the feats enhancing the BF at-wills. Grasping Claws is quite powerful now, especially against artillery monsters.
