Druids need a moderate Nerf?


Druids are traditionally Elves and Fairy, but any race can play
as Druid (unless otherwise stated in the racial description).
Druids have taken it upon themselves to oversee the delicate
balance of nature, and protect the world's forests and the
animals that live in them from unnecessary destruction and
deforestation. Druids are also powerful healers, who congregate
in small Druidic Enclaves where the young are trained, and
injured travelers cared for.
Prerequisites: Cannot be noble
Traits: Can buy Commune with Spirit, Commune with Nature,
Eidetic Memory, Empathy, and starts with Speaks Druidic
In School Paths: Nature, Life, Charms, and One Element of the
Player's choosing
Literally the only down side is cannot be noble, not even cannot
become noble since it is only a Prerequisite.
With 5 Traits and 4 in-school paths of magic, i feel they are
above nearly all other orders. Most orders have pre-reqs that
you need to have (X) skills by (X) level, while Druids are not
rushed to buy anything. Also druids have some pretty amazing
traits, such as Commune with Nature and Eidetic Memory. After
the changes to Eidetic memory last errata we made it to where
people can also buy read/write skills, with eidetic memory they
just have too much going for them compared to other Orders. This
is not even adding in any racial bonuses.
Does it sound like I just hate Druids, or does anyone agree? Im
not sure how we could go about changing how strong they are,
maybe reduce traits? Put more prerequisites on it? Thoughts,
suggestions?

I also believe that Druids need a nerf for the reasons you've
expressed. At the current time I can't think of a good way to
do that but I'll try to develop one. Maybe have the abilities
"unlock" at certain levels so that it doesn't hit all at once.

Maybe Druids don't learn to read & write as a cultural thing.
The rest of it makes sense and I like Heath's idea of unlocking
at certain levels.

I don't like Druids... but that's because they are dirty.
However I think if we change instruction to not include spells
then druids might get screwed. I would suggest that druids get
r&w druidic, basically its a bunch of runes, that way they don't
get boned if we change it.

I could see them being able to purchase R/W druidic maybe. But
that still leaves them at the top of the food chain Order wise.
They just have way too much going for them at creation. Maybe
some Order rules such as "Must do X when X happens". Order of
Yashua's Hand would be the second best mage order in my opnion
because there is no other pre-req, and maybe the witch and
Warlock covens behind that.

I would agree that a moderate nerf should be something to look
at but also keep in mind that Druids are Peasants and rarely if
ever get above that. This means that at the whim of a noble they
can be executed without trial. This should be factored in when
discussing what kind of nerfs should happen to them.

'If' they are Peasants in social standing, that is a pretty big
limitation. No trials/no real rights but that kind of limitation
is hard to quantify so I'll bow to other peoples judgement on
any decisions on this point.

If we change it to can not be noble, that would be a really good
start.

Or possibly "Must be a peasant and cannot progress higher in
social rank."

Also druids are supposed to be strictly neutral and constantly I
see druids choosing sides or swearing fealty
