    Before you start commenting, I'd like to remind you all that this video is a complete joke.
    I'm going to go on record saying that this class is hella fun and no one should stop you from playing it.
    These rules don't matter, and it's a outlet for me to make some jokes. Wizards did a fine job making 5th edition and I'm not here to change anyone's mind about that.
    Play how YOU want to play. Don't listen to me I'm here to be a dumb dumb for your entertainment.

      Yeah I think they should have limited the choices. I mean, a barbarian only has a few animal paths to choose right, like bear or wolf. They should have made like only a few land based, water based and air based creatures that get stronger with levels which you can wild shape, so you don’t have to change every few levels. As an optional rule, let players choose what they want, respecting CR.

    All joking and hyperbole about how good the rogue lvl 20 ability is, it is nothing compared to a druid capstone.

      Circle of the Land, in my experience, is only useful in Gritty Realism campaigns, when you're taking lots of short rests between long ones, and there could be several weeks, even, between long rests.
      In that context, though, the Circle of the Land Druid is the only healing caster that gets spell slots back on a short rest, making them the single most reliable healer in the game. Plus, if memory serves, Druids get the lowest-level revival spell - Reincarnate.

    Seeing that hydra page brings back memories. We had a party of 7 PCs and we were level 5. Our DM wanted a few of us to die so he we would have to leave the table (it was really crowded and we were getting nothing done each session). So, the DM decided to give a stupidly hard encounter. We started by fighting 7 ghouls and 7 ghast, so yay paralysis. That was terrible, but then there were hydras who were a little further out and two turns into combat they show up. One of them had 7 heads and one of them had 11. ELEVEN. That means eighteen attacks between the both of them per turn. Our entire party was freaking out because we couldn’t run away due to the swamp we were in halving our movement speed, but not the the movements speed of the ghouls or ghasts, and the hydra’s movement speed is pretty high. But frankly, the worst part of the situation was that 2/7 members or our party were really weak. They were new players and they built their characters strangely which made them largely useless in combat. So we were basically fighting two hydras and 14 ghouls and ghasts with 5.5 lvl 5 characters. The ghouls and ghasts were giving us some trouble, but we could probably have beaten them. They had our tank paralyzed and were hitting him with cries every attack, but he wasn’t dead yet. In the end. Our party got saved by our bard with one spell: “plant growth. He trapped all of the enemies in plants while we just shot at many projectiles as possible and we killed every single monster, because plant growth is op. Needless to say, our DM hated our bard for the next few sessions.

Good luck... I have started to worship supporting spells after playing Bard and Druid is probably only choice with lvl1 Area of Effect Crowd Control (AOE CC) spell :D Controlling the enemies is controlling the fight in your favor
      most used comment from me "What are the enemies wearing? Does it look like they could fight at range?" If they are melee I Entangle in front of them and if they are ranged behind them. This allows Fighter, Barbarian and Rogue to either stay and wait making enemies waste a turn for free range attacks OR makes it easier for Fighter to run at the enemies while they try to flee and keep their distance.

    On the subject of the level 20 ability:
    While being able to constantly re-up temp HP by wildshaping into everything on the planet alphabetically and being able to cast any spell you like, only being restricted by action limits, preparation, and spell slots IS incredibly overpowered and I imagine that trying to DM such a thing is a nightmare and a half, I DO think that it actually fits well thematically.
    At 20th level, the Druid is so in tune with nature that they can be any animal they want with but a thought and whatever spell they want to cast is cast as if by the planet itself, only the fact that they're keeping their consciousness separate from nature by only the barest of margins limiting them to their own pool of magic. Mother Earth doesn't need sulfur and bat crap to create fire, Mother Earth just makes it happen.

    • @DavidPokora

      I still think that thematically - a 20th level druid should also have all the spells from the druid list prepared and not be limited in that regard.

    I wonder though, as druids are said to get power from nature itself or a nature deity, but if you have a druid that has a nature deity grant you powers, how does that work? Do they just form a bond with the deity? If they worship it, they'd be more of a cleric. If they form a pact with it, they are a warlock and if they swear an oath to it, they are a paladin, and if they are blessed/cursed with magic, they'd be a sorcerer and wizards just study the stuff.

    As a person who's first PC was a human druid who ended up killing himself after committing triple homicide despite being a pacifist, I can say that spell preparations were the least of my problems.
    But I will say that Cleric, Druid and Wizard are hella confusing when you're starting out. Same for Warlock.... And Spellcasting in general to be honest.

    I recommend reading the actual text from the book here :P
    You can definitely still do stuff with a spell you're concentrating on while in wild shape. The book gives a concrete example such as Call Lightning.
    Personally, I really want to try a high level moon druid and combine wild shape with the elemental Investiture spells. Imagine a cave/polar bear clad in stone/ice armor, a dire wolf flying on a tornado or a giant eagle with flames swirling around its wings like some kind of phoenix. Hell, it can be extra fun to combine it with a different elemental form. A fire elemental with investiture of stone cast would basically look like a magma elemental

      The investiture spells would be worth concentrating on if only the damage were better or you could use the new attack as a bonus action instead of a standard action.

    Shepherd: Used by a lot of Gnomes in recent years.
    Spores: Become a Plaguebearer that's immune to crits. This is a thing.

      This is actually the strongest way for a class to handle spells known/prepared. You're not limited to a short list of "spells known", nor do you need to find and copy spells into a spellbook. I can see what you mean about it being more complicated to new players, but it's also more forgiving, as a poor spell selection can really set a bard or sorcerer back.
      IMHO, cleric might just be the best full caster class for a new player. No caster is simple, but the cleric lacks a lot of the more complex moving parts of most other casters. Clerics are also quite flexible for being as simple as they are, and can easily adapt to several different combat roles.

    Now, could someone explain to me why Druids don't get familiars? Even if it's just like a cat or ferret, it would make sense for a nature-based magic user to have a magical animal companion. I'd even be fine with them being restricted to actual animals as opposed to Gazers, Pseudodragons, Quasits, etc., I just don't see why they wouldn't get familiars.
