Wow. It's now hill dwarves who get the bonus to wisdom, not mountain dwarves. * stone cunning completely changed; can now become lost.--> As a thought experiment -- if Bartleby were suddenly to become a Hill dwarf, the total stat change would be only +1 con (str and wis remain unchanged, so more consistency there). He'd lose proficiency in medium armours, which would mean he wouldn't have scale mail but leather (! -- hide also possible, 2 AC lower) for a total AC change of -3! He'd then have +1 hit point. It would mean he'd be much less of the tank that I've been playing him as, much more cautious about being hit. Interesting. These changes hit the effectiveness of my metal druid; it's still possible, though.Other:* Prof bonus now +2* (based on cleric holy symbol) DC for spells up as if focus were in use; focus now does other things.* background: old bkgd gave 3 skills, mounts (tool), and 2 languages. New backgrounds only give two skills and two languages or tools: so I'll remove "search" for now -- when new rules for druids appear, there will be a second skill added from class; I'll also remove one language (Giant, since we've spoken Goblin), and change Mounts to Vehicles (land).* went to second level, circle of land. More (with PHB):* INT save for druids* cantrip list changed (Read magic out; Produce Flame in)* bounty hunter completely removed. custom bkgd instead.* questions:1. drop Guidance for Poison Spray? (we've used Guidance a few times, but I'm happy to swap it out). 2. custom bkgd okay ("Investigator")? Stealth, Investigation; one language and Thieves' tools*; false background (from Charlatan).*not part of the original bkgd, but part of the long-term character design (which was to dip into rogue to get this proficiency, which wasn't possible for a druid when we began). With this, the desire to dip goes down, but still might happen. As it happens, the character does not at present have any thieves' tools, but once he gets some...[/sblock]</blockquote>
