> Why do these guys get off easy?

Without going into excruciating detail, they really don't. Giving up hide as an assassin is in my opinion a better or at least comparable trade to being a tribunal druid or ranger.

I was abosultely appauled when I first saw
a druid class in Tribunal. Something like
that should be as questy as a Rager A-P, but
that's my opinion, and they may have actually
Had drawbacks we didn't know about. If not..

Then something stinks there.

Since I've played one, I'll comment.

You are basically a druid or ranger that spends his time sitting around cities.

Enough said on that.

Having said that, I would be less inclined to promote druids or rangers to Vindicator or Provost, because of their associations.

First, I agree it should be rare, and it is.

Second, the basic answer is that if you're a remotely competent or dedicated Tribunal, you're a terrible ranger/druid and vice versa. Any number of their class abilities don't work so well if you aren't out in nature a fair bit. (City parks, etc. won't do the trick either.)

If I missed the discussion and your just not up for
any more.. cool. stop reading here then.


I can and do see the wild-time drawback, but that's
a drawback anyone would get wether in tribunal
or not, just being a city type of character.

I just dont see how that is on par with
what assassin/thief outlanders lose, ap ragers lose,
or non-evil Empire converts lose.

Maybe because I see the Druid class as a very, very
profound line apart from most classes, Necromancers,
Paladins, Druids, Anti-Paladins, have a very
defined characterstic purely on the class.

How a druid could even tie in having the powers over
what it does, being in the Tribunal cabal, makes no
more sense than an A-P getting into Maran and using his
evilness skillset.

It just doesn't make sense to me, that particular class, in
that particular cabal. I would rather see Imperial Druids,
and could flesh one out a lot better, than Tribunal Druids.

Which of course, is my opinion, and probably only mine, but maybe
it'll provide more view over things, maybe not.

But if that's what blows your goat, I suppose it works.

He decided that he could best minimise damage to nature by changing the views of the city folk. He got empowered, for example, by a greater spirit of nature whilst he was trying to persuade the lumberjacks outside the city to plant new trees to replace the ones they took, and to concentrate on deadwood, because this way the forest would remain to serve their needs, the needs of their children, and the needs of the wilds.

Keep at it as they were, and it would serve them for only a short time, and no one else.

That's just one example of the stuff he was doing. His involvement in tribs was basically because he believed that if the people of the city were to ever co-exist with nature, they needed to be free of attack by those claiming to serve nature etc.
