[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 7717993, member: 58416"] I think the Shepherd Druid needs to be fleshed out into a separate class. I could see something like a cross between a druid and maybe a warlock or cleric. The spirit animal idea is cool, but losing some spellcasting in exchange for more powers which key off of the spirit would (IMO) be more interesting. I haven't messed around with 5E design enough to know how exactly to go about that, but my gut feeling is that invocations similar to a warlock could work. Alternatively (or maybe in addition), perhaps a slightly different version of channel divinity could be used. "Invoke Spirit" could have X effect; if your spirit companion is present in the encounter, the power also does Y within the radius of the spirit companion. Edit: [MENTION=6788736]Flamestrike[/MENTION] - That reminds me of some of the time I spent at Fort Polk, Louisiana for training. I still remember the new lieutenant falling asleep outside and looking like he had chicken pox the following morning due to mosquito bites. [/QUOTE]
