druidism or whatever, where you can change yourself into things, like animals, or stone golems or spriggans or whatever else. what do you think?

Such spells would fall under Alteration -- IF they were implemented.

I suppose they could re-introduce a type of religious nature magick. As long as it is not
an actual school of magick, meaning, not part of the College of Winterhold or nothing like that.

It could have a perk tree though in the same way that vampires and werewolves gain their
perk trees.

Hmm, it is something nice to contemplate.

That would overlap with lycanthropy and etc., but being able to shapeshift into a variety of forms could be interesting.

Howbout.... No


If Bethesda does any thing Druid-like, I'd be a bit more happy if they didn't go the same path as every RPG making them Shape shifters, that really has no relevance to the word "Druid" --

"A priest, magician, or soothsayer in the ancient Celtic religion."

Druid makes me think of a mix between Alteration, Restoration and Alchemy.

I don't recall The Elder Scrolls having anything to do with Earth and the ancient religions of Earth humans.

In fantasy, the druid character has always been associated with nature magick, shapeshifting, etc.

I think it may be a nice edition if it is done right.

I didn't say have it exactly how the true definition is, but if we're disregarding it, you can pretty much make it how you want, I'd just prefer if Bethesda didn't go the same route as every other RPG.
just like Bethesda's Dwarves weren't Short, they pretty much only had small butts ._.

Is there anything in lore that says only lycanthropes can shape-shift into different creatures? I'm just curious.

We need blood magic.

Spells that drain your HP but do a lot of damage. =D

Wait, the Deep Elves had small rear ends?

Are you saying that because their chairs are so unorthodox and look rather small?

The Greybeards also have small chairs, but I do believe their rear-ends are fairly ordinary.
