[QUOTE="Kerrick, post: 5052649, member: 4722"] Not really familiar with that one. It's not a matter of "domination" so much as "exerting control over it" (though even that's not really accurate). I agree that druids work in concert with nature. I dunno... I could change it to "master" instead of "lord", but it would effectively be the same thing. I know.. that's why I hate the retraining rules. The original version of the druid (which you can see [url=http://project-phoenix.wikidot.com/classes:druid]here[/url] used a talent tree system - four masteries, and you could advance in any or all of them as you wished.
