[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 6003268, member: 1465"] I think would be the best route to follow, because not everyone who wants to play a Druid also wants shapeshifing or animal companions. I would like one Druid to be able to focus on wildshaping, getting many forms and using them better in combat. I would like another Druid to have one great animal companion, or alternatively lots of smaller companions. I would like another more Druid to have just spells and no companions or wild shape. I guess that balancing these 3 things against each other so that you can trade-off between them might prove too hard for the designers. Therefore as a second, more realistic option, at least I would like if there were Druid-only [B]feats[/B] to choose your 2nd, 3rd etc. wildshape form or improve your animal companion. So the druid who isn't interested much in animal companions get a smaller one that works as a scout but is of little use in fighting, and the druid who isn't keen on wildshape gets a simple form usable mostly for disguise. Why [B]feats[/B] instead of class-specific selectable abilities? Because with feats you have a choice of taking wildshape-enhancement OR something completely different not even necessarily specific to the Druid class. [/QUOTE]
