      For the longest time, I've had these ideas for new variations of the Bard class like a Culinary Bard or a Painter Bard or even a Bard that makes whatever they write down happen in real-time.
      Since Druids can command spores, now; does this mean there are other versions of Bards available too?

    Spores Druid is one of my favorite Druid subclasses because its one of the only subclasses that actually utilizes plants. Like, seriously, why isn't there more utilization of plants in DnD?

    My party actually did that to a lich once. I think we were able to force the failed saves through some mechanic, but we essentially had her stunlocked under a moonbeam and would have killed her (we destroyed her phylactery unknowingly some days prior in another dungeon), and only failed to do so because focus (and damage) was being split.
    All turned out alright in the end. Capstone of the campaign we got her boss to summon her, the bard used friends to make her drop her guard and hand over the mcguffin we needed, and then we atomized her with six held actions.

    I have a character idea...
    A warforged mushroom druid
    "There was once a powerful adventurer named Daisy Earthstar. Daisy had always been fascinated by mushrooms. After her village was massacred, she fled into the woods and came across a cave, deciding to take shelter there. Over time, Daisy grew increasingly hungry, and berries and fruit were no longer enough to sustain her. Desperate for food, she found mushrooms and began consuming them without checking if they were poisonous. In her hunger, she ate Amanita phalloides, a very toxic fungus. Later that day, she became gravely ill. Just before she died, she was found by a group of myconids. They took her in and healed her. The myconids trained Daisy to become a mushroom druid. After years of training, Daisy became overwhelmingly powerful, and the myconids finally allowed her to reenter the world.
    Daisy later came across a group of adventurers who were looking for a new party member. Daisy and the adventurers soon became well-known in their region. However, when they decided to take on a lich who was attempting to destroy the material plane, they may have bitten off more than they could chew. Most of the party were killed, but they were victorious in the end, or so they thought. The lich, barely holding onto life, released a huge burst of energy, destroying the lich and his phylactery. The remaining adventurers were wiped out, with Daisy barely surviving. An artificer later found Daisy and, in order to keep her alive, was forced to turn her into a warforged. After many months, Daisy was rebuilt as a warforged, though she had memory loss and could only remember the lich and being a mushroom druid. Daisy no longer had the immense power she once possessed and would need to relearn all her training."

    I'll admit, something feels a bit hypocritical about Spore Druids appointing themselves as arbiters of life and death when it comes to those looking to avoid their natural end considering that they get access to spells for reviving the dead and the main druid class has a feature that lets them theoretically extend their lifespan by several millennia past what it would naturally be depending on their race.

    you deal a d6 extra damage on melee hits.........no extra attack feature to make use it tho
    you get temp HP but since you benefits for being in melee are depended on not actually losing it you really only have 4*level HP before being a normal druid again.
    you get not extra AC or movement bonus to help you be a melee fighter unlike say Bladesinger or swords bard.
    like it's a feature makes you want to play a Astral Self monk with a two level spores dip instead of the subclass it's in.
