[@SevenStormStyle]I've only played one 4e campaign and two halves of 5e campaigns. I miss shifters.
But the first time I played (4e) 4 out of 6 people in my party had never played, one person had played once, and the DM was brand new. We ended up failing terribly because we forgot all our racial/class bonuses all the time. But on the bright side, my shifter druid used thorn whip to throw someone out of a four-story window in a wizard's tower and then watched them splat on the floor. It was great.
