I assume it was to make everyone’s roles simple for people who don’t play dnd to understand. Holga fights stuff, Simon casts spells, Doric shapeshifts, Ed is the charismatic leader. For a general audience, the rules of the world would be hard to follow if Doric and especially Ed started spellcasting. While they could have had Doric cast Nature specific spells, I think it was a good idea for the movie to give each character one specific thing that distinguishes them.
@@paddlesawtactic9788 That's true, but still. They call her a druid because that's a known and popular class, but in reality she's a shifter which is a druid-like pfe1 class that is focused on shapeshifting but lacks any druidic spells. That can explain how she shapeshifts so many times per day, and how she can shapeshift into an owlbear form. :)
I did find it hilarious that she didn't cast a SINGLE spell throughout the entire movie, at least in a D&D context. I mean she's part druid, why didn't she cast heal or spike growth or something before wildshaping?
There soemthing chataric to adapt the dnd movie to system other than dnd.
My favourite is adapting it for blades in the dark.
Honestly it's really interesting to see how it works in other systems.
Doric is not really a druid, she is a shifter (from pathfinder 1e) - they have no spells. :)
See that makes sense. I never understood why she never used spells throughout the movie.

@@paddlesawtactic9788 I didn't consider that, but that makes sense.

and then you forgot you have any other spells then wild shape to be authentic.

Lol. Rapid Fire creation.
It's a format that I really like.
Alignment isn't bullshit
I call it that because they're getting rid of it in the remaster. For current 2e it's fine though.
@@TabletopWorms oh. I'm actually ignorant to how Pathfinder works.
@@oo-bl5kxNo worries!
