[QUOTE="ZombieRoboNinja, post: 4004296, member: 54843"] This makes a lot of sense and is kind of what I expected/hoped for. For example, according to R&C, the 4e druid is going to be very heavily focused on shapeshifting, with healing, nuking and summoning eliminated or greatly diminished. Mouse's Druid could instead focus on druids as nature-flavored spellcasters with a broad range of spell effects (damage, control, and healing), with shapeshifting taking the backseat. One is a defender or striker, shifting into a bear and tearing stuff up, while the other is a controller. Heck, that particular pair could work really well together! Likewise, the 4e bard is a leader who is reliant on extraplanar magical "patrons" for his spells. This is a cool and flavorful interpretation of the classic D&D bard IMO, but it's certainly not the only way you can go from the earlier-edition bards, and Mouse could probably make a lot of friends in the grognard community by bringing some 1e Celtic mystique back to the class.
