[QUOTE="famousringo, post: 6891387, member: 6792445"] Druids aren't the type to play shuffleboard at the retirement home. If they're having trouble living on their own, they'd probably allow a pack of wolves to tear them apart or take a lethal dose of nightshade at the roots of a grand oak or something. Second point seems more like an existential crisis to me. I mean, how do you know I'm real? You could be posting on a forum full of bots. Or maybe every account here is just a separate facet of your personality, all creating illusions so your consciousness doesn't feel lonely. Not sure if combat mechanics count as 'rp' for this discussion, but it bugs me is that swinging a large weapon [i]really hard[/i] requires advanced training, but any anemic wizard can make himself more effective in combat by dual wielding knives. And if you're really good with a crossbow you can fire them faster than anything. Also, beastmaster action economy makes no sense rp-wise, we all know that. Druid shapeshifting restrictions are bizarre (wolves are fine, but otters are hard because they swim). Barbarian damage resistance is just cartoonish. [/QUOTE]
