Consider that druids get supernatural, extraordinary, and spell-like ability of the elementals the turn into... maybe this is a problem for magical beasts?My purpose is to distinguish the druid from a Shaman prestige class (the first would have domani on living spirits, such as animals,plants, earth... and the second's powers would concern elemental spirits...)

Sitting in the woods, smoking weed, how more alternative can it get ;) No, seriously, thinks like the ownbear are definitly no problem, but some other creatures... *looks at it* Hm, in place of the elemental wild shapes (~at level 16+) this should be okay, but I did not have a close look at it yet.
Atanatotatos 09-04-05, 03:16 PM	Consider the reduced spell list, too... Anyone?
Molot 09-04-05, 03:39 PM	Why shouldn't he be able to draw his powers from storm (electric energy), rocks, heat from sun and cold of far north? All that are just aspects of nature...
Atanatotatos 09-05-05, 10:48 AM	Well that's just another idea of the class in a personal setting you know... Anyway... anybody about balance?
Molot 09-05-05, 02:54 PM	Magical beast in place of elemental - why not. But be carefull about giveing him spell-like abilities of that form. If you do, it may be overpowered. But if you aslo remove animal companion, then you may give him spell-like abilities of all his forms without any problem :] Cutting elemental spells - ok, what in place?
CryoSilver 09-05-05, 02:58 PM	The SLAs of his magical beast forms?
Atanatotatos 09-05-05, 03:40 PM	Well, spell-like abilities of some magical beasts would make a good exchange for the best damaging spells... the problem is: would it be TOO good? It doesn't make much sense being able to turn into a magical beast if you can't use any supernatural or spell-like ability,though... with some exceptions....
CryoSilver 09-05-05, 04:07 PM	because otherwise you'd be giving up blasting and turning into an elemental to look,like a fancy animal but not be able to do the things that those real fancy animals could?
Atanatotatos 09-06-05, 10:09 AM	Yeah, more or less...
