Here, my buddy came up with this and it sounded like a really good way to nerf the druid for the DM on a tight time table:
A druid gets to pick two of the following things:
1) Wildshape as written
2) An animal companion as written
3) 1/2 spell casting (like the bard?)
4) full spell casting (obviously requires 1/2 spell casting as a prereq)
I figure this would take a tier 1 druid, and make it tier 2ish if they took the fullcaster option, tier 3ish as a half-caster plus either wildshape or companion, and maybe even tier 4 as a wildshape+companion class. Given that Tier 3 tends to be the "sweet spot" for me and many others, this get's us most of the way there with a simple, fast modification.
Maybe useless, maybe already known, just figured I would share.
