[QUOTE="anon, post: 1178445, member: 3727"] Unlimited wildshape does sound great, but I think in reality 6 times a day is not that far off from unlimited. What I mean is this--in a typical adventuring day a druid probably does a bit of scouting in bird form, then a lot of fighting in one maybe two or three forms (lion, tiger, bear), then might scout around again or flee, then off to camp. At least this is my experience at lower levels. I honestly don't have much experience at higher levels (13+) so I'm not sure how well it balances in the scheme of things. My basic response is: How many times are you likely to wildshape in one day? Even given a huge choice. I suppose I could push that ability to L20, if you think it's that valuable. Perhaps it can be the ultimate true druid ability? You are right that it is partly a mix of the Shifter class, though that was not my intent. I never was particularly fond of the Shifter, to be honest. I wanted to develop a druid that had aspects of fey, better elemental affinity, and better wildshaping. I would never allow forms other than elemental or animal forms, runs counter to the basis of the class. Well perhaps I would allow fey forms sometime... Alignment is actually listed at the top as being a "loss", meaning only that it is more restrictive than the PHB Druid. Thanks for the responses so far, totally helpful. [/QUOTE]
