[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 898689, member: 259"] Well, that's technically true, but it's a little misleading. "Animal Friendship" is without a doubt the most powerful first-level spell out there, and should rightly be considered more of a druid's core class abilities than as just another first-level spell. The rumor mill over 3.5 suggests that it's going to be an actual class ability in the new edition; currently, it should be treated as such. So I'm talking about removing a core class ability, not so much about removing a single first-level spell. If I were suggesting substituting "Shillelagh" for the Plant domain, your point would be better-taken :). This is an interesting idea -- trading not only the animal friendship ability, but indeed all enchantment spells, for the earth domain. Hmm. On the one hand, animal friendship is far and away the best enchantment spell that druids gain, and druids get very few other enchantment spells. On the other hand, this might provide enough of a weakness to offset the benefits of the gained domain. Daniel [/QUOTE]
