[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8946974, member: 18"] The Druid is just absolutely terrible, WoW-inspired drivel, frankly. In the worst possible way - i.e. all the bad ideas and none of the good. It's the first 1D&D class which just trashes the existing class, rather than simply adjusting/tweaking it. It's lazy, it's unevocative, and it's not even fun. Not letting people have a tiny form until L11 is, as I said in the other thread, honestly one of the dumbest things I've ever read in a D&D product, and I've read 34 years of these things! This is trash-tier design. I almost wonder if they're intentionally trolling/checking we're awake. Paladins have probably the dumbest lore we've ever seen for them, with a lot of vague chatter about "standing against annihilation" and "standing against oblivion", which means exactly nothing, and doesn't really seem to match up with Paladins from any edition, and particularly not with Paladin subclasses from 5E. However, at least with Paladins they're mechanically very similar, without absolutely no drop in power (!?!? but Druids needed a huge nerf? Bizarre), and the Breaking Your Oath lore is a distinct improvement, especially in clarity. [/QUOTE]
