Do his spells last for one turn or until the next is cast? If one turn I think he is too weak wizard with three spells), if indefinite he is too powerful (bat form is like having veil of mist every turn, wolf is a genie attack every turn).

The mighty frog implies these forms last multiple turns, maybe a mind test to maintain the transformation? Too random?

How exactly do you make a color 'clear' in the PNG file? I have absolutely no skill with any type of graphic programs and usually just use MSpaint or give up. Is there any way to choose white as my 'clear' color using paint or do I need to give up my ignorance and get a different file or two?

You save the .png over a transparent background, typically from a .psd file.

The changed shapes last from the time cast until the Druid takes damage, or until the Druid releases the spell. As beast forms cannot cast spells, the Druid must revert (a normal action) back to his original form if he wants to transform into a different beast.

I also have the miniatures I made for this all done. I'll post them up soon.

The spell cards and whatnot should be along.

I have fixed a problem with the fonts and I’ve update the link of the first post.
As you can see on the picture of chaoticprime the fonts are different from the original.
ps: nice char by the way...

I have the fonts on my PC. I have no idea what happened. I didn't fix it because I only wanted it for a PoC.

If you drag and drop a font in this folder, you’ll install the font in your pc to use it with other programs (as word for example)

But now in this program the fonts are all embedded, and you don’t have to do that for showing them.

No, you can't do it with mspaint...

In corel draw when you open a png file and try to save it, always a pop-up will appear and ask you to choose the transparent color (“image color”). This work only with png files (and some gifs, but i am not sure)

ps: If you don't know how I put the brown color in the previous image, the tool is the "magic wand selector" that exist in almost all the drawing programs. I just select all the area that I want to make transparent and "fill" it with a color that does not exist in the rest image.
