Paladin abilities overpowered? What do you think.

There's also some tension there between the written fluff ("I want to protect and cuddle animals") and the implicit fluff ("I use animals as expendable heat-seeking missiles and meatshields to hide behind").

My current Sheperd Druid's backstory is pretty much "got natural spirits shoved up his etc. And is pretty pissed by it".

Which means that anybody that pisses him off usually meets a gruesome end that nobody in the party likes to watch.

So he does like to cuddle animals- but hates natural spirits.
