Calls in rainstorms and makes vines tangle you and uses trees to move in front of you and generally weaves the battlefield around you. This sounds like great Controller territory.But I'm a little worried that someone with a delight in wildshape got behind them and pulled them away from that "nature spellcaster" role and into a more "turns into a wolf and bites you" melee combat role. I mean, not that it wouldn't be cool, just that it'd be cooler, I think, as a Totemist kind of critter that specializes in battle transformations than as a Druid kind of critter that might only use them to talk to a squirrel or something. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I'd rather see Druids as the "Earth, Wind, and Water (and plant and animal)" mages in a way similar to how the wizard is a "Fire, Lightning, and Frost (and sonic and acid)" mage. But eh. We'll see. Maybe they've come around. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
