[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7188699, member: 12731"] In general, having high ability prerequisites is meaningless - every druid will have or reach a 17 Wisdom. The main reason for ability requirements is to restrict multiclass builds and off-kilter builds, and that job is done already at lower scores. In other words: there is a reason why existing ability score prerequisites are "low". You [I]can[/I] keep a 17 req, but you should really have a good reason. Beast Shape of the Summer Court Strength of the Wild Hunt Have you done any analysis if this is balanced? I mean, I'm the first to recognize how beast forms lose their appeal in the high single-digit levels, but a blanket green light on all monstrosities...? (Besides, isn't the Summer Court related to fey more than "magical beasts"?) Also, how does wild shape work for the non-druid feat taker? At first blush, it seems the feat gives away the main reason you become a (Moon) Druid, so I really want to know what you mean here, and why I can't just be a straight Wizard with better wildshaping abilities than the regular (Moon) Druid?
