Many people agree that Wildshape needs to be nerfed to balance things out. I've not got a lot of experience with druids, so I'm throwing out my proposal for examination by the Playgrounders.
Add new feat: "Natural Magic" (see below). Change feat "Natural Spell" (see below).
Start Wildshape at 6th level, not 5th.
Wildshape 2 / day at 8th level.
Wildshape (Large) at 10th.
Wildshape 3 /day (Tiny) at 12th.
Wildshape (Plant) at 14th.
Wildshape (Elemental 1 /day) at 16th.
Wildshape 4 / day at 18th.
Wildshape (Huge) at 20th.
New & changed feats:
Natural Magic:
You retain some magical abilities when in Wildshape.
Prerequisite: Wis 13+, Wildshape ability.
Benefit: You can cast spells available to your class through spontaneous casting while in Wildshape.
Normal: You cannot normally cast spells while in Wildshape.
Natural Spell:
Prerequisite: add "Druid level 15+" and "Natural Magic" to the prerequisites for Natural Spell.
----------------------
Are these measures too nerfed? Not nerfed enough? Do I need to give something back in its place to make up for reducing the druid's special abilities?
Thanks in advance for the help!
