My point is the 5e druids could easily have +34 THP AND AC 16 at 3rd level. Low AC is a choice, not a balancing factor. As for fairness and fun, I have little sympathy. 3.5 Batman wizards with infinite scrolls and wands were "fun" for some people. CoDzilla was "fun". Coffeelocks were "fun". But they are all using unintentional interactions in the rules to exploit. And yes, I completely feel the moon druids design was not thought out completely, and the fact the moon druid's power level is a roller coaster of ups and downs is evidence they didn't think out the interaction between CR and PC power level. I do hope they give the druid a tanky option. I think the moon druids should get their own special "dire wild shape" stat block. But I hope it is better balanced than brown bear at level 2. Because the current druid is a mess regardless of how "fun" it is, and it needs to be better balanced against what other full casters are able to do at that level.</blockquote>
