[QUOTE="Gothmog, post: 4359264, member: 317"] I see the druid as being more of a controller myself, although with limited striker ability due to wildshape, call lightning, etc. I'd prefer to see the druid focus on spells like entangle, terrain modification, weather control, animal control, fire, and lightning, with the occasional foray into wildshaping, but not to the degree it had in 3e. And please, NO animal companions as a default. If a druid does take animal companions, have them be gained via feats and improved via feats from the druid. The last thing 4e needs is the traveling zoo of 3e. As far as an at-will entangle, how about the following? Entangle Level 1 Druid Attack Ropy vines spring from the ground and wind around your target's legs, hindering him. At-Will, Divine, Implement Standard Action Ranged 10 Target: One creature Attack: Wisdom vs. Reflex Hit: The enemy is immobilized until it escapes you or you end the grab. Your enemy can attempt to escape on its turn. You use your Reflex or Fortitude defenses to resolve any escape attempts. At 21st level, you deal 1d10+Strength modifier damage to the target per round. Sustain Minor: The Entangle effect persists. Area Entangle-like effects should probably be encounter or daily powers. [/QUOTE]
