So, I'm making a Homebrew Druid class. It's pretty much a combination of other striker's powers and a few homebrew things. Later tonight I'll post paragon paths, some magic items, some rituals. Next week (next Saturday) I'll do level 11-20 powers, maybe some items. It should be done by the end of next month. I realize this isn't great but, it's a druid, right? "Dungeons and Dragons, 4th Edition, Druid Class: This is a druid character I’ve made to accompany the D&D 4th edition game. The druid will be a striker, and have the ability to morph into an animal at-will. The druid can fight as a normal __insert race here__ but it will only have the power of a rogue or so. Most of the druid’s powers will only available when in animal form. SPECIAL NOTE: I don’t know where to put this, so I’ll do it here. I think adding 5 – 10 gp to an item, depending on what it is, would be a good cost for an enchantment that allows the armor and weapon to morph into animal form. Class Traits: Role: Striker. Power Source: Nature. Your talents depend on your focus and connections with the natural world around you. Key Abilities: Dex, Cha, Str Armor Proficiencies: Cloth, leather Weapon Proficiencies: Dagger, Hand Crossbow, Short Sword Bonus to Defense: +2 Reflex Hit points at 1st level: 10+Constitution score Hit points per Level Gained: 6 Healing Surges per Day: 6+Constitution modifier Trained Skills: Nature. Pick four more from the list below: Acrobatics (Dex), Dungeoneering (Wis), Insight (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Perception (Wis), Stealth (Dex) Build Options: Sorry. Don’t have time to make these. Have fun! Class Features: All druids have the Animal Form at will power and get a +2 class bonus on Nature and Dungeoneering checks. No druid may wield anything but a dagger, hand crossbow, or short sword if they want to use their animal form. Power: Animal Form (Druid Class Feature) With a flash of light you transform into a beast of your choosing. Your weapon melds and your armor adjusts so it works on your new form. You have become one with nature. At-Will Special: When in animal form you take +2 to all reflex rolls and +2 to damage. While in animal form all your attacks, movement, etc work the same. Level 11, increases to +3 for reflex and +4 for damage. Level 21, increases to +5 for reflex and +6 for damage. Powers: These powers are a mish-mosh of the other strikers powers with a good amount of home-made nature related ones thrown in. All powers have the requirement, “Must be in Animal form” unless otherwise noted. All targets are against one opponent in range, unless otherwise noted. Level One At-Will Powers: 1. Hit and Run, from the Ranger class 2. Nimble Strike, from the Ranger class 3. Eye of the Tiger (cheesy rename of the Eyebite power, for Warlocks) 4. Twighlight Strike At-Will. Ranged 20.

Dazing Strike, from the Rogue class 2. Dire Wolverine Strike, from the Ranger class Drop requirement of 2 weapons. 3. Diabolic Grasp, from the Ranger class. The talon would be one of the earth however, not one of darkness. 4. Face of the Wild. Encounter. You quickly chant an incantation and, using your connection to the Earth, project an image of a large creature to scare your opponent, allowing you to move in for attack. Ranged 10. Attack: CHA vs. Will Hit: You move adjacent to the target as a free action and make two attacks. 2[W]+Cha Epic Tier: 3[W] Level One Daily Powers 1. Nature’s Protection.

Mounts for All Daily Suddenly, 3 shining astral horses appear, ready to ride. Effect: You conjure up mounts for all with you, up to 10. These mounts do not need to eat or drink, and do not tire however they only last 5 hours, or until they are struck with any weapon. Level Seven Encounter Powers 1. Sign of Ill Omen (Warlock.
