[QUOTE="Cor_Malek, post: 5341891, member: 91608"] There's plenty of people who can give you great advice on build, so let me just explain the premise of druids power The thing here is, that you're still a druid of Xth (20th in this case) level, but instead of being in form of a dwarf, whose CR is at 1/2, you're shifting into, let's say dire tiger - of astounding CR 8. In case of any intelligent (and therefore playable as character) race, even like the shambler, the race CR will come with level adjustment. That's because the dire tiger is supposed to be a "challenge" equivalent of a 8th level character. It's as if you gained 8 levels of Dire Tiger. Which makes you as good/ better at close combat as fighter, but after the fight(or during), you can still cast spells. And frankly, you make rogue redundant as well, as you can open locks and find traps by using relatively low-level spells. On top of that, druid is a MAD (Multiple Attribute Dependent) class, which is supposed to be mitigating it's power, since he has to spread out his points. Thing is - no, he isn't, no he doesn't. You don't have to invest [I]jack[/I] in physical attributes, because you'll swap them for whatever the creature you change into has ([I]and[/I] you can buff all attributes with spells anyway). So whereas most classes have one dump stat? You have three. You can even invest in charisma for the heck of it :) It'd be cool to read a follow up on how it went after the session. CoDzillas make [I]prepared[/I] GM's weep. One that thinks it's a weak class? That's bound to be entertaining :) [/QUOTE]
