[QUOTE="LordArchaon, post: 4295594, member: 60929"] My other options for druid conversion are: [list=1] [*]Fey pact Warlock with Warlord training, Combat Veteran paragon path [*]Fey pact Warlock with Cleric training, Divine Oracle paragon path [*]Protecting Paladin with Wizard training (heavy power swapping), Spellstorm Mage paragon path [/list] A Paladin with the right powers may be a surprisingly fitting base class for "avenging" druids (although the "avenging paladin" build option is not so much for them, I guess). Also remember that with Channel Divinity, they can take deity-specific powers, and become "nature paladins" very easily. Ok, there are not many good ones, but it's a matter of flavor. Star pact Warlocks can, surprisingly enough, fit some druids better than Fey ones... The dark feeling is good, and their powers are easy to re-flavor if needed. The Radiant Servant Cleric paragon path may also fit many. The options are many. Oh, and no limitations on weapons and armor if you don't wish so :) P.S. Speaking of Wizard, a wacky (and somewhat out of the rules) build that came to mind was having a Wizard with high Con, Fighter training and the Iron Vanguard paragon path: choose many spells that push enemies or knock them prone, and apply the Con modifier to damage of those powers...
