[QUOTE="tuxgeo, post: 5788298, member: 61026"] No renaming! WotC is trying to be inclusive of older D&D traditions now; and the "Druid" class is a part of the older D&D traditions. "Animist" is not. I think I'm nearly alone in admiring the 4E Warlock class on the basis of its feature of making Charisma-based powers available for some warlocks and making Constitution-based powers available for other warlocks; and some powers where the warlock has to choose which power source to use, and then cannot change it once chosen. Couldn't the same be done with a new, arcane "Witch" class? You could have your lore-loving "weird-woman" with powers based on Intelligence; but you could also have your curse-throwing "hex-woman" with powers based on Charisma; and you could have your healing-and-herbalism "wise-woman" with powers based on Wisdom -- all in the same class. I think the Witch and the Shaman should be separate from the Druid. The 4E mechanics of the Shaman are quite different from the various 4E mechanics of the Druid. Lyrical bards and Polemic bards and Ballad bards and Instrumental bards and Dance bards (with hula, ballet, step, clog, circle, line, square, snake, ballroom, and other dance varieties). It's a confusing mess, alright! (Rock bards! -- "between a rock and a bard place") [/QUOTE]
