[QUOTE="Ohmyn, post: 7628414, member: 6999115"] Yes, I would. Druids can be of any alignment now. The rules for performing out of alignment behavior is an alignment shift, not a class penalty. Druids are no longer alignment locked, so I could be a chaotic evil Druid, or a lawful good Druid. If I opted for lawful good, and I burned down random forests because I simply wanted to watch the world burn, then that would likely call for my alignment to shift to chaotic evil, as per the rules provided to the DM. That could also call for in-game consequences, such as upsetting my party if they're lawful good, or if my party contains another more good aligned Druid, or if I light the forest in front of people and they put a bounty out on me. However, there is no restriction that a Druid cannot be chaotic evil, there are no mechanical penalties for them performing ill-intent acts against nature, and there even exists plenty of evil fey creatures now. If the DM said I can't start a fire because they don't like my class doing that, it would be railroading my character. If they took away my class for doing so, that would be the DM going outside of the written rules to restrict my character's options. That's permitted for them to do since they can do whatever they wish (unless at a RAW table), but unless they did it to someone that was clearly making efforts to be disruptive, I wouldn't come back to that DM's table, even if it was done to someone not me.
