The trick now is to make sure you're happy too.   This is from unearthed arcana? The class struck me as a bit broad and possibly too easy to Nova. Also the interplay of powers is extremely confusing. You need to look at that ability that allowed 30 dice of damage (even if it was a crit) and see if it was done correctly. I seem to recall that mystics can pump their abilities, so maybe that's how he did it. If so, then you need to insert more encounters. Make sure he understands that novaing like this is really, really dangerous. Very tough class. Throw smaller but more encounters to counter the rage. Also consider targeting weak saves, unlike the berserker the bear totem IS NOT immune to charm. though he seems to not be a problem, so moving on. Is the ability portent? If so, remember, the ability does not swap rolls it dictates them. As in the ability must be used before the die is rolled. As such, for example, it cannot negate a crit or replace a bad roll. It's a great ability, but make sure she's using it correctly. Interesting, usually Multiclassing adds to versatility not power. Is she somehow spamming her Wildshape? If so, more smaller encounters.  You stated she has lots of spells left. That means she's not divine smiting - this totally eats into spells, she needs more/bigger targets! Also, a standard 8th level caster has 4th level spells. Hers are at best 3rd level.  But the kicker seems to be how many spells has left at the end of the day. It means she's not being pressed nearly enough. As a druid her AC can't be that great, certainly not equivalent to a paladin (or even a cleric) of her level. The "end of the day trick" I'm not quite getting as it seems like a lot, but even so, one long rest accomplishes the same thing so not the biggest problem, other than she has way too many spells left. . Again the answer seems to be more encounters and don't be afraid to press her. Did you use any legendary resistance or lair actions for the dragon? That tends to really throw a party off their game. A CR 14 dragon should be above this parties party grade. If they are using "weird combos" those combos need to be examined.  Use more exploration style traps and challenges. Examine how the party so dominated the early fights and plan around that.</blockquote>
