04-05-07, 03:38 AM It's genuinely unplayable. And I'm speaking from a mechanical standpoint rather than flavor.

Even with no LA, you're looking at 4 Fey RHD which are going to seriously hurt your melee capabilities with their 1/2 BAB and d6 HP. You're also losing 4 caster levels which is equally bad.

Your best bet would be to "fix" the Dryad. Easy solution might be to replace 2 Fey RHD with +1 LA.

The result would be a Dryad of 2 RHD/+1 LA. Much more playable.
