Wildshape on the fly and work out your stats as a Dire Eagle. Then remember to scratch your equipment. Then factor in all the buffs you have running and things get complex and time consuming. As has been mentioned a Druid turn can take a long time. Unless you have pre-printed summoned monster cards you will frustrate other players with the amount of time you take to have your go.When playing COSQ as a Druid I left my bear companion out of the dungeon delve after the first incursion. It didn't make sense bringing him into the underdark and he did not scale well with the combats we were having. Bebliths made mince meat of him. I figured my Druid would somehow be attached to his companion and sent him back to the surface for his own safety. I do not like the disposable pet, it encourages pet names like Bear 1 and Bear 2. That isn't roleplaying a druid at all. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /> When you level up you need to work out your new stats in perhaps 3 of your most common wildshape forms, level your normal form up, level up your pet and pick new spells. It all adds up to too much work. I think the PH2 fixes this elegantly. No pet and straightforward shifting = no more stress.Druids are a high maintenance advanced class.</blockquote>
