[✗] [Rewrite] [Feat + Magic Lore] Druidic Transcendence

[wolfersquad2004 206]

Heya, I feel I should speak up on these changes. 

 

I'm not a fan of how this re-write is formatted along with the changes being made. Specifically to the aesthetic amendments. I feel it is harsh to suddenly rip away a lot of design aspects from people's characters. They have spent months/years, role-playing these designs. 

 

I should also mention I find it odd to allow things such as horns, but disallow wings and tails as all three are prominent changes to the body.

 

I find the alteration changes unnecessary, and should be reverted.

Druids will no longer be druids I see, time to get more Homunculus characters on the server.

Politely, I'm not a huge fan of this rewrite.

 

It doesn't feel like transcendence anymore. Personally speaking, it has none of what I originally got the feat for within it aside the original 'summon dead druid every once in a while (I guess)' and 'go to the fae realm ST event'. The pacting and the added spells and the taking away of many of the current Transcendence traits/spells makes it far more in line with your Vex's of the Vein denied lore instead of something fun and whimsical and freeform in deisgn that holds a touch of every day use and a dose of full throttle "this is my duty as a druid" druidism. I get your reasoning for the changes, but as someone who has actively sought to roleplay my druid respectfully and flavorfully with the current transcendence lore, this rewrite is very disheartening to read through. Some of the spells you added are fun but I'm struggling to see how this is transcendence magic instead of sprite magic (which, hey, I would love to have a few whimsical spells added to the current lore, but I don't want the whole theme of the current lore changed). Perhaps I'll just miss my druid's fun design I spent a few months on, or her independent summon, or being able to have the option of being a full bard/housemage while being a fully fledged druid, or the way I have utilized every aspect of the current lore to its fullest extent to expand my druid's story and personality and design. Should this go through, it will destroy years of build up for my character which - yes, fair, the lore changes, I agreed to this when making my character a druid (but that doesn't mean I shouldn't voice my opinion and personal experience when potential changes come around). If it goes through, I will be forced to change and redesign my character so dramatically and in multiple ways that she won't be her, because what I most utilize from the current lore holds a deep impact upon her character and simply won't exist anymore.

 

 

-1 from me. Again, just a personal take, doesn't mean it's right or wrong. I haven't seen many transcendence players comment on this though, so I thought I'd give my 2 cents. New Treelord submission submitted in tandem is kinda cool though.

This lore has been denied.

 

This lorepiece is a rewrite just for the sake of a rewrite, and furthermore one that excessively bloats Druidism even further than it already is beginning to become. Generally speaking, this encroaches on other niches severely- namely shamanism- and greatly alters and bends the lore towards severe powercreep, whilst shredding away the elements that priorly existed within it. If you wish to alter or expand on this lorepiece, a rewrite is not the way to do it, nor is a mass expansion that drifts rapidly towards bloat.
