[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 6104964, member: 61026"] Druid, further thoughts: Now I recall where I saw that before: "WEBELOS" -- from the Cub Scouts, during the 1950's. Originally it meant Wolf-Bear-Lion-Scout, and was a ranking program that was meant to lead toward eventual advancement into a regular Boy Scout troop, wherein one might eventually become an full-fledged Eagle Scout. So, according to this playtest packet, a Moon-Circle Druid starts out being able to wildshape into a wolf or a bear at 1st Level, then gains lion ("Great Cat") at 3rd Level, and finally makes it up to eagle ("Bird of Prey") at 6th Level. [I]It's Scouting all over again, but written up into fantasy gaming. [/I] I'm not too happy with that: it's too regimented for my tastes. I would have preferred to see each druid looking deeply into his or her soul to find his or her personal, initial wildshape form based on submerged content within. [/QUOTE]
