If you like the druid's woodland theme, call your character a Woodland Warrior."<br /><br />But I can't find the Woodland Warrior class in my sourcebooks! THAT MEANS IT DOESN'T EXIST!!!!!111!!!! /sarcasm<br /><br />I couldn't agree more - if you think a class is underpowered, don't play it. No-one wants to hear about people whinging that this is nerfed or that's no good. Just play the game, all the classes are good for something.<br /><br />I think you've also amply demonstrated with your series on creating ad hoc classes that making up classes on the fly (more or less) is pretty simple for oldschool games, so if the class someone wants doesn't exist, they can just make it.Charles Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941603544547428940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7239577512598038009.post-41942348388499372972013-08-14T07:41:10.340-07:002013-08-14T07:41:10.340-07:00Well, it's interesting to note that in Swords ...Well, it's interesting to note that in Swords and Wizardry Complete, the druid starts out with a 1st level spell at 1st and has 2-1st and 1-2nd at 2nd level. A 1st level cleric has no spells at 0-level.Anthony N.

I think one of the problems of 3e was that everyone wanted awesome specialization and pretty good everything else too, leading to feature bloat and power creep.

There are about a dozen druid spells with pretty obvious combat utility in the 1st to 3rd level spells...seems like they are fine spell casting in a fight.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.com
