    Dungeons and Dragons 5e Druid is strong but some subclasses needs some love. Because we all know one dnd will not be able to buff Druid properly. In this video I talk about star druid, wild fire druid, land druid, circle of spores druid and a bunch of other things like beasts and zombies. Your circle should be good no matter which one you pick. and spore druid needed a lot of love lol.

    I always thought the biggest problem with Spores Druid was the fact that their symbiotic entity just stops after they take a hit or two. How are they supposed to be a melee subclass if they loose half of their abilities as soon as they get hit once?
    The Stars Druid just gets a clean 10 minutes of their special form, so why not the Spores Druid? Heck, the Moon Druid also looses their special form, as in their stronger Wild Shipe, after taking enough damage, however the Moon Druid effectiveley gets 20-30 hp of that shape at level 2, while the Spores Druid gets 8 hp.
    What was even the thought process behind giving them melee benefits, that stop as soon as they get into a fight?

      What if it was, instead of either the temp hp expires or 10 minutes passes, it needs to be both the temp go expiring and 10 minutes passing? Like if you still had 3 temp hp when the ten minutes was up you stayed in symbiotic entity until you took 3 damage.

    Spore Druid isn't a melee class, it's a social class.
    By which I mean, a Spore Druid can completely undetectably murder people just by being near them. So you have a Spore Druid be the murderer in a murder-mystery, and everyone has to suspect everyone else because they don't know why people are dying.

    Ok, I love the theme of the Stars Druid. It deals with the sun, moon and the stars. How are they not a part of nature? It's a genius subclass. It feels like a village shaman that consults the movements of the heavens to predict the future.

      Yea, I always understood it as this idea that the control of the natural world is not purely the earth, but also the skies and the heavens. Though I think Mr. Bone Wizard's point that it seems more "Oracle" than "Druid" is a fair point, which mostly falls to the fact that Druid is the closest thing 5e HAS to a sort of "Oracle looking up at the skies and drawing power from the stars" class so it gets slapped on druid.

    • @elmsigreen
      @elmsigreen 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @aquamarinerose5405 If 5e had an oracle class, then it would make sense as a subclass for that one, but since 5e doesn't have one, it makes the most sense for Druid.
      Spirits Bard is in the same camp. It could be an oracle subclass if that class existed.

    Yes, I play a Stars Druid and I LOVE it. People were like why not Moon? And I was like- Can't you READ? Land really needed the help but some of the spell lists were a little weird, I think Forest needed Web and Misty Step (Yeah, powerful - but until they do, no one will take it). I thought Spores druid was the strongest, but I didn't realize the saving throw agains their bonus action damage. I really hope they address the Save or Suck spell machanics in the next version so casters get a little SOMETHING for their spell slots when they cast.

    • @bonewizard
      @bonewizard  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I honestly don't have a problem with save or suck spells. You wanna avoid those? Just cast damaging spells. Simple.
      You wanna do something more impactful? Cast a save or suck spell. Worried about getting unlucky and the DM rolling high? Well either take the risk, cast fireball, or dont play a game centered around random number generator rocks.

    All of these look like great changes! The only things I would change are personal preferences, the first being an idea I've seen flung around for Land Druid that they can attune to their current environment and gain the corresponding spell list. Basically turns their Circle Spells into a revolving door that they can change based on wherever they are.
    The other is a buff to Spores Druid where the 14th level feature also lets them burrow into the ground, since mushrooms are all interconnected via mycelium threads and it'd be sick if you could travel through them and pop up somewhere else. Plus it'd be a great repositioning tool for a melee build.

  • @lancearmada
    @lancearmada ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I always thought in lore wildfire druids magic fire can harm and heal, so they have more control over it than actual fire. Also the spirits aren’t really dying they are just going away, and they serve their purpose to assist the druid. In my setting they are kind of like lone knights who fight off corruption in nature.

    Great video! I really like the changes, especially for the Spore Druid. My favorite (likely unintentional) interaction is that the boosts to melee spell attack cantrips also apply to Thorn Whip, since it specifies that it makes a melee spell attack. There's a lot of fun interactions this can lead to, and gives spore druids a lot of extra reach.
    One side note for your next video: I'd personally say that Shepherd Druid is the strongest druid subclass, since it buffs your summons so much. Conjure Animals (and to a lesser extent Conjure Woodland Beings) is the strongest spell druids have available because of the incredible amount of damage and battlefield control it brings to the table. Shepherd's Mighty Summoner lets your summons ignore resistance/immunity to nonmagical damage, which is the main limiter on the damage of summons in 5e, and their other features make those summons much tankier. I get that a lot of tables don't like playing with the full power of Conjure Animals, but if your DM is regularly allowing you to summon 8 (or even 4) creatures with the spell, you'll be doing some truly disgusting things in combat.

Their logic behind it was they played a Firbolg that was captured by the bhatarians as a soldier for the blood war specifically because they heard they wanted to see if a Druid could tap into the chaos of fire to fight the Tahnari, it gave the character a tragic backstory, a permanent gray coat(a feature based on his time in hades) and a fire element that we all called jalapeño who our DM allowed to carry flame weapons which made him insanely cool

    I personally like to play druids as nature's infiltrators, as well as guides to those lost within nature capable of helping people find their way safely home. I also can imagine druids acting similar to a shaman, or at the very least like a religious individual such as a Celtic priest. With that consideration, stars druid makes a lot of sense to me. People have used the stars for guidance while seafaring and while traveling through deserts because they are the closest thing travelers have to landmarks in those biomes and settings. Thus, being a circle of stars druid that guides people through landscapes such as druids or by boat makes a lot of sense to me, and fits the character who would be manipulating nature to permit safe travel for them and their allies in an otherwise inhospitable environment.

    Yeah, Wildfire does seem a bit more edgy than regenerative. At least that means they fit in better with the typical adventuring party. ;P
    While I get "study and record keeping" fitting in Wizard's wheelhouse, I do feel like having an oracle themed star reading Druid is entirely appropriate. Plus, it's not like other casters didn't already have knowledge focused subclasses for as far back as the PHB. ...Though, maybe if going for a full-blown astrological science subclass, fitting it in Artificer would be more appropriate than Wizard? Since, from a mystical/magical perspective, Druid was the right choice in my book. ...Honestly, Wizards are more about using their categorical knowledge to manipulate magic to their own personal designs, while Druid is THE class about studying how to harness magic in its raw, unchanged state, to do with it what it was already prepared to do. Multiple Druid subclasses are sagely in description.
    With circle spell list changes, you should have edited in a highlighter effect to show which were changed if not actively discussing them. Arctic's only changes being first level spells still makes it feel like it'd be a ton of fun to play with Armor of Agathys full upcasting. Each list probably still could use more tweaking against each other, but perfection in balance is probably impossible anyway. ...Nature's Sanctuary at level 6 could also work as a nice match-up with Land's Stride, if you didn't go the way you did of making it similar to the Tasha's Sorcerer subclasses with Speed of the Circle. ...Friendly Land's Stride is a bit too clunky, should probably just be able effect multiple targets with a single use to be more table friendly. Being level 14, maybe any number a creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you, and maybe using your Wild Shape uses as a resource (in which case, could even use that duration or 1 hour instead of 10 minute, since it has both utility and combat application)?
    The fungal zombie statblock could be cleaned up a bit to read more like the recent statblocks for summons and companions. No mechanical difference to how you already wrote it, other than maybe calling out being allowed to willing fail the wisdom saving throw to use it as a bomb once level 10 rolls around. ...The new Enfeebling Hand cantrip could probably still be good using a d6, while simplifying it to just reduce the next instance of damage the target does regardless of source. ...Also, kinda wish the Spore features gave a choice of Poison or Necrotic so you could choice the published or UA flavor, even though I don't think there's many cases at all where something resistant or immune to Necrotic isn't also the same for Poison, while plenty more Poison doesn't work on in general beyond that. Might even extend
    Already said too much, but could probably say more. Still, need to move on to part 2.

  • @cirrus2472

    If you were going to nerf Star Druid, I like the idea of making it so that if you use weal and the roll still fails or if you use woe and the roll still succeeds, then your next attack roll or saving throw before the start of your next turn has a d6 subtracted from it. Fits with the whole theme of manipulating fortune and adds a bit of risk.

    Druids aren't "part of Celtic myth" they're an entire religious authority figure which is why the dnd class also has religious overtones, and yes druids in real life also practiced astrology, they were also talented diplomats, storytellers, oral historians and a whole bunch of other stuff that priests and wisemen from other cultures do too, I just wish wotc would give druids more respect.

  • @neferatih
    @neferatih ปีที่แล้ว

    Just want to preface that i really liked this video! A lot of the buffs are well done and really good!
    About Stars Druid though
    It is really strong, there's no denying that, but the 6th level feature (While ridiculous for Druids, obviously) isn't the most ridiculous thing around.
    College of Lore: Can debuff a creature's save within 60ft for a Bardic Inspiration. A resource that at level 5 regenerates at a Short rest.
    Divination Wizard: just exists and has two rolls they can just throw out whenever. Yes it is very limited, and complete RNG, though removing two rolls alltogether for a set roll is still really powerful.
    Silvery Barbs: a spell available to every spellcaster. Except Druid and Cleric. Which invalidates Advantage completely. At 1st level. (Yes, i know there are feats that can give this spell to Druids and Clerics, but the point still stands).
    It has a shorter range than Lore's feature, doesn't scale like Bardic Inspirations does, and it replenishes on a Long rest (while being random on it either dishing out buffs or nerfs), while Bardic Inspirations replenish on a Short rest starting at level 5.
    It's strong for Druids, but in comparison to other spellcasters, it's nothing new or exceptional.

    • @bonewizard
      @bonewizard  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      College of Lore: It can not debuff saving throws. It can change every other type of roll though.
      Divination wizard: Its strong, but the uses are much more limited.
      Silvery Barbs: That spell is widely regarded as busted. I'm not balancing based off a spell that was balanced poorly.
      In terms of debuffing no 5e class feature, before the tasha's book came out, went as a high as a d6. Which is the main point.

    • @neferatih
      @neferatih ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@bonewizard
      Hi! Thank you for responding! ^ ^
      College of Lore: you're right! Must have misremembered due to many online websites incorrectly describing it as working on Saving Throws (despite it only working on ability checks, damage rolls and attack rolls.) Thank you for correcting me on that, it was an honest mistake on my part!
      The primary point i was trying to make is that the level of power of the individual features themselves isn't exactly new to 5e with things like divination wizard, Cutting words (to a lesser extent as it works way more effectively for attack rolls and damage rolls than Woe could dream of, but doesn't affect Saving Throws) and other spells or features that in the video weren't mentioned as comparisons. It's new to Druids, not the game as a whole 😅
      Circle of stars is really strong, of course, i can't deny that! And i love what you did in regards of trying to put all Druids in a similar power range to Stars as i think you did very good on the changes as well!

    The main thing spore druids need to up their melee is stuff that the base druid already gets. Shillelagh, shields, and half plate. Tack on feats like war caster and their melee is going to be just fine compared to other gish builds.
    Spreading Spores is fine as is because it's not meant to be used by itself. It's meant to be layered on top of any of the AOE damage and control concentration spells the druid list is full of.
