Druids being cheated?


Races & Classes


It seems to me that all the other Classes have been given "something" at each level, be it a bonus feat, ability or class feature to make sure there are no "dead levels". However, the Druid still seems to have dead levels where other than getting more spells, it gets no new abilities. Take a look at 5th, 7th, 11th, 17th and 19th level - no new abilities.

To be fair, druids need more in these slots - perhaps bonuses to their wild shapes and/or companions or more spell like abilities.

As with the Wizard and the Cleric, the druid does get a new level of spells in each one of the levels that you mention.

My mistake - haven't look at these rules for a few weeks and thought that all classes got some special ability (like a Domain or Spell Power) at every level.
