Okay, I'm definitely changing "end of the encounter" to "End of the scene" or putting in a ritual to have the same effect.... Skittering sneak for five minutes... per day... ever...

*sigh* I just watched my last hope of pulling my wife away from 3.5 go don the drain... *sob*

I have a theory than Devas and Half-orcs will have Wis bonus, as at least one type of Shifter.

Oh, I'm sure they will.

I just don't have access to those right now.

My initial question is this:

When will we have access to at least six (6) levels of Druid?

I'm about to start a 4E extended adventure, and I can't allow this class if all there will be to it during the next 4-6 weeks is three levels. The "risk" of leveling into levels 4, 5 or so during this time is imminent.

I wanted to say something very similar, except with better orthography.

What was wrong?

Nice article. The class looks good, and the level cap is not as strict as it seems. Even if only level 1 powers are listed, there's quite a few of them. You actually have enough different powers to create a (somewhat underpowered) level 10 character. Not an optimal scenario, but maybe good enough for a playtest.

...March?

But encounter = scene and there is nothing in the power that limit the length otherwise.

Most classes have secondary roles. The Barbarian Playtest first mentioned it, but the other classes since then have made mention, too.
Fighter- Defender/Striker
Paladin- Defender/Leader
Rogue- Striker/Controller
Ranger- Striker/Controller
Cleric- Leader/Defender?
Warlock- Striker/Controller?
Wizard- Controller/Striker
Warlord- Leader/Defender

Barbarian- Striker/ Leader/Defender
Swordmage- Defender/Controller
Druid- Controller/ Striker/Defender

So do dragonborn druids turn into something with even more claws and teeth or would they perhaps have to call it "civilized shape" and it turns them into something that looks vaguely human???

Just kidding. I could see having some fun with them becoming even more draconic, sprouting wings and or a tail, walking on all four. Don't know if anything furry would really work though...
