Intentional?Most powerful in the game is true, however to what degree? They can be ruinous if abused, but in a lot of games where they are played by regular people they are not that powerful (especially considering the possible roleplaying restrictions any dm can lay upon them).Perhaps a better balance is to look at your priest compared to druid:A druid and a priest have the same skill points/level, druid has a larger list.A druid has better saving throws (good fort) and a better hit die.A druid has a better BAB and despite oath restrictions better access to weapons and armor.A priest ends up with slightly more spells (1 addtl per level) until at 11th the druid starts getting more 1st - 5th level spells. This is an advantage for the priest.Priests have spontaneous casting and a better spell list for the most part (possibly being remedied in 3.5 with a better druid list).A priest has turning vs a druid's wildshaping. They arent really comparable, but I'd say that taking into account the priest's domain powers they are equal power-wise.Druids get animal companions.Druids get some unique abilities like Venom Immunity, A thousand faces,  and Timeless Body. Priests get bonus feats every 5 levels.I've never heard that druids are overpowered, and they seem to be coming in ahead of priests. Priests clearly favor the spell-casting aspect, but I'm wondering if they have "enough" spells. Currently most clerics invest in wands of cure X because they dont have enough spells/day to heal an entire party (or the inclination). Your priests receive even less spells than a cleric (who won't be present for comparison sakes, but is what you are basing the class off of).Domain Idea: Benevolent- give a healing touch like the paladin's.It's coming along nicely.Technik</blockquote>
