I'm really a little surprised that some sort of fey oriented ranger hadn't arrived long ago, there are fey associated Druids and Warlocks, and some sort of interaction with fairy courts seems like an obvious origin story for a woodland warrior. This is the most arcane feeling druid yet and I've personally always wanted a more wizardy druid option (or naturish wizard option). I'm not sure how common a desire that is but I know from various threads on building Radagast that I am not alone. First time I've ever felt inclined to play a non-Moon Druid. And mecha-artificer/iron man is something that I'm not into, but I know a lot of artificer enthusiasts are very into; it seems like a clear "give the people what they want" situation.Of course this is not to say that these subclasses are particularly well designed. The Ranger seems like a particular mixed bag to me. It's divine smite-like ability not scaling for higher level spell slots means I would basically never use it except with a 1st level slot and the level 11 ability seems like something you may virtually never get to use whilst the other conclaves mostly get cool extra attack abilities that work under pretty common circumstances at that point. Then again the spells are really good and I like the level 3 abilities. Meanwhile Also I think they may have made a straight rules mistake or if not a mistake of communication on the Dreadful Strikes ability because it reads like you can use it with a bonus action attack and have it apply to all your attacks, but by RAW the offhand bonus action attack has to be after the attack action attacks which means it would be too late to apply to those. If it is meant to only apply to the bonus action attack then having it apply to your other weapon, as it says it does ("weapons"), would never be relevant.</blockquote>
