This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: RPGPundit;952543I've never much cared for druids.

I love them as NPC "villains" - but they don't work as PCs for me.

Pretty badass as Eco-Terrorists pushing back against encroaching civilization, prophets of revenge for the Nature gods.

Meh. Each edition has some wonky 'exploit' or whatever that must be pawed and picked at like an itchy scab. Shillelagh is the same in 5e. Although in both cases, it seems to be when they get into the hands of non-druids that it gets ugly.

The weird part was the latest debate started with a DM complaining about the spell because he was trying to move the PCs into a survival situation and the druid was ruining it because goodberry and they didnt want to change anything to curb the spell even when it was pointed out various ways even without actually changing the spell itself.

Such is.

Oh. Well that at least is an age-old struggle rather than something 5e specific. Arms race between the games' challenges and the spells which have been written specifically to circumvent those challenges (and honestly, why would you write a spell that doesn't?). How do you make a locked door a challenge once the knock spell exists? Or carrying torches with light? Each edition has done so with lesser or greater successes.
