[QUOTE="Tessarael, post: 9712652, member: 12909"] We're about to hit level 4 in this campaign. So far my Druid Skinchanger has been a decently tank, but so is the other front line warrior. The Rogue Cutthroat has often been the most effective character offensively, with good reason due to Sneak Attack +2d6, +2 from sniper class feature, and additional poison damage or double shot maneuver. Last session, my Druid did the most damage, but I got lucky with attack rolls, and others did not. Particularly, because the foe had piercing resistance and was switching in-and-out of prone to minimize ranged attacks against it, which was giving me advantage in melee with Shillelagh. The risk was my character would be hit by some nasty blows from the undead, but it was also unlucky to miss me much of the time. I was using Vegepygmy wild shape form with shield for AC 18 and Shillelagh, which was effective defensively, but not offensively damage-dealing oriented. We haven't seen any need for nerfs as yet. Vegepygmy AC will improve to 19 at level 4. Another Fighter character with Dexterity 12 is using half plate + shield for AC 18. If they switch to splint + shield they will have AC 19. If they'd taken Protection fighting style, those would be AC 19 with half plate + shield and AC 20 with splint + shield. So the Druid's AC seems reasonable in that context. [/QUOTE]
