The following is not meant to be considered as Suggestions, but mostly as just kinda having a laugh because it's midnight, and I'm tired, but I can't sleep :lol: However, if someone considers these probably bad ideas as good ideas, feel free to suggest it in Feedback and Suggestion

I found this little tidbit about Druids:
In Celtic folk tales and myths of the druids are portrayed bearded wise old men who know the answers to any questions, know the secrets of medicinal herbs (which makes them top-notch doctors who can cure any disease) often can see the future, understand the language of birds and animals, as well as can influence the weather.
Also, this is something about Mannanan, the Son of Lir:
He dressed in a green cloak and a gold headband. A shape-shifter. The Isle of Arran in Firth of Clyde and the Isle of Man were under his protection. At Arran he had a palace called Emhain of the Apple Trees. His swine, which constantly renewed themselves, were the chief food of the Tuatha de Danann and kept them from aging.
The renewing swine remind me of the Stonevale boars, haha. But it wouldn't be extremely far fetched for that to be an eventual area and have him be the shape-shifting boss...

Also, looking around, Druids seem to be closely associated with Bards and Bards are usually depicted with a lyre/harp thingy. Maybe have that as a Druid weapon/offhand? Maybe an item for a purely support Druid so that when it's equipped in the main hand slot or as 2-handed it would give regen effects to the entire group as long as you weren't attacking anyone?

I'm not posting this in feedback and suggestions because this is mostly just being silly and joking around. Shape-shifting doesn't sound easy to program, and imagine if Druids could control the weather in this game or if they carried around harps, haha

Haha he's probably my favorite character. His name for one, but also I definitely think druids are the funnest to play as :D

A shapeshifter hero class would be fun :D Your fighting would not only consist of attack and defensive skills, but different shape shift forms that grant different skills, stats and benefits/weaknesses.
