[QUOTE="deathdonut, post: 4222648, member: 62072"] You have 3 options: :1: [b]Get her interested in playing something else.[/b] This isn't hard, you can make it similar as the Feypact Warlock or Nature Cleric mentioned earlier, or a ranger-type if she's less set on spell casting. You can supplement this choice with some magic items later tailored to her style of play (1/encounter shapechange?). Who knows, she might get inspired by something completely different if she reads through the new books. :2: [b]Write up a custom class to hold her over.[/b] Unlike the first option, this one [i]is[/i] hard, but depending upon your own personality, it's quite doable. I have a player in my group that is set on playing something specific, so I wrote up an unarmored defender who throws fireballs. You need a good sense of the rules and an ability to look at your own creations objectively (and trash/restart if need be). If you have someone in your group who likes this sort of thing, maybe they can get things started and you can balance things out with the DM's Editing Pen. This is the riskiest rout, and I only recommend it if you're the type that likes this sort of thing. :3: [b]Wait on 4e.[/b] Simple as that. Next year, PHB2 will be out with your druid class. If there's nothing else she's willing to go with, this is your last and final option. [/QUOTE]
