[QUOTE="smootrk, post: 2811373, member: 28583"] I am wondering if anyone has tried to create a Druid variant based more closely on the Wizard Class? Call it something like Naturalist or Learned Environmentalist (or even something like the already used name - Geomancer, or Biomancer). I imagine it as essentially a Wizard with a Druid Spell List (althought tweaked a bit), Animal Companion rather than Familiar. It could possibly be a Conjurer Specialist Wizard with some abilities tweaked a bit further to be nature based. I don't really see the Wildshape Ability being part of this idea. Class skills swapped with nature/survival/animal handling etc. Flavor-wise, I see it as essentially like a Wizard except that he learns the arcane secrets of the natural world and Fey beings - but in a scholarly way, not divine in source. I was inspired a little by the Sidhe Scholar in Dragon Magazine, but that particular version did not feel quite right to me.
