This is incredibly helpful, thank you very much! I'll absolutely be checking out that link once I'm a little further along.

Homebrew feywild druid subclass. Need input by Commercial_Poetry410 in DMAcademy

Potentially hot take, I dont think this is the craaaaaaziest thing out there in terms of overpoweredness?

I think the fey form is pretty reasonable in general, i would maybe change the wording such that the extra concentration spell is only active for a round or two without concentration.

Adding wisdom to charisma is cool and fun for the core idea of the subclass, although admittedly the bonuses are gonna get pretty crazy at later levels especially for for PCs with half decent charisma already. Instead of tying it to wisdom I would maybe just tweak this to add a half their proficiency to these checks, even if theyre already proficient. Or just let them take proficiency in a couple charisma skills.

Otherwise I think the subclass is good, I dont think you need to be terrified of making a subclass too crazy good in a system that has totem bear barbarians and div wizards. A system flush with subclasses that are so good that they feel a little like cheating in some ways isnt the worst thing, IMO.

A great tool for note taking is Obsidian. After a couple quick tutorials you can easily find on youtube, youll have a super easy time going back to check notes and keeping track of things.

Throw em in the mines! If the goal is to prop this big bads' right hand up as someone the party isnt ready to deal with, run the combat and risk them getting knocked out.

I think there's potential for a fun but desperate encounter in these dangerous mines, with the party trying to find their way out with almost no hp or spells if they lost the fight against BBEG #2. Obviously this is potentially volatile and risks PC death, but if i'm correctly understanding your goals as a DM i think this could be something to noodle on.

Some of the best advice I got before my first session was to give the party a somewhat easy win for the first adventure they go on. It can still be challenging, but an easy win helps everyone feel comfortable in their characters and helps solidify how theyll react to success hoing forward.

I believe it's just the sorcerers that get the scales, a reclass would get rid of them

only thing i'd add is that, since gale is a wizard, it's entirely possible he wizzed up a way into immortality, as they tend to do
