Hopefully he is accused of being a necromancer and burned at the stake. Event would include pile of wood to throw on the fire and fresh toads to throw at him that explode on impact.

I hope it's a randomly moving S'Kra princess on the first tier that will kiss you if she sees you in frog form.

> That would be toad-ally awesome.

How about, if you have an empty scroll slot, he teaches you the spell while you're a frog. You can then cast the spell to stop being a frog. Barbarians and thieves would just be immune to it. It would give everyone a reason to travel to the islands in a non-transferable way.

The Toad spell was originally conceived as Feral Magic, in the 2.0 definition of the spellbook.

I re-purposed the name of the spellbook for an entirely different concept, which may have not been wise, but here we are.

I've always been curious/interested in the idea of a new guild in Dragonrealms, though I guess that's a discussion for another time. Not sure there's an obvious niche where one would fit.

>For what it's worth, I think the number of guilds is too high. Development is already having a rough time keeping them moving. Instead, I'd like to see guilds expanded into new niches. Feral magic would make a great ranger sorcery, for example. It could be an extension off the shapeshifting they already do.

Rather than number of guilds, I'd say it's some combination of legacy systems (iirc from past off-handed GM comments coding for DR presents unique challenges), having to constantly reinvent core systems to keep up with ever-growing scales of power/skills, and current development priority featuring maximizing monetization of DR.

I agree with you on the rest. Any hypothetical new guild I can think of could has already had their role partially fulfilled by current guilds. Mystical martial artist Monks guild? Barbarians. Feral-magic and nature-loving Druids guild with animal companions? Rangers. Mystical/tribal totem-using Shamans that wield elemental power? Barbarians, Moon Mages, or Warrior Mages depending on the slant. Dark Knights? Just allow for dark-aspect Paladins. Golem-using Summoners? Either Empaths or Necromancers for the combat pet part, Warrior Mages for the lore.
