[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 8595140, member: 53980"] I agree that the number of attacks is an issue at 2nd level (though not so much by 5th level when the fighter can make 2-3 attacks). However, the hit points are somewhat misleading. Yeah, the bear has 34 HP which is a lot at 2nd level (but again, not really that much by 5th level). However, the bear's AC is a paltry 11 (compared to the fighter, whose AC is likely to be approaching 20), so "twice as many hp" isn't exactly the whole picture. Also, the druid spell list isn't as potent as the wizard spell list, and you can very easily end up burning a lot of those spell slots to maintain your form (because IME the player probably picked a moon druid so that they could shape shift and beat things up, not so that they could stand around casting spells, for which there are better circles). Personally, I wouldn't be bothered about a power disparity that goes by in 3 short levels, but that's just me. [/QUOTE]
