[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 9061079, member: 6801228"] No. Moonbeam is not being rewritten to add a clause to hurt the Druid. Moonbeam is just doing what moonbeam is supposed to do. The fact the druid might qualify for the secondary effect is unfortunate, but not like adding a clause to fire spells to do extra damage to draconic sorcerers. True, but currently there is no text in a fire spell that says sorcerers get disadvantage on the save. Again, the position of "the spell works as advertised" is not the same as "rewrite spells to specifically target a certain class" I don't know either, but it could be that WoTC didn't add a clause to the Moon Druid because they are not actually rolling at disadvantage against the spell. Whether or not a DM believes that doesn't change that might be WoTC's logic. And it would be cool if fire sorcerers were healed by fire damage, but rewriting spell effects can be tricky business.
