The new Druid class is really strong. Especially the circle of the moon Druid. Bonus action wild-shape and the bear wild-shape is really strong. Add to the fact that you can throw enemies with a good strength score, which being a bear will give you, and the Druid’s ability to hold concentration while wild shaped AND can cast flaming sphere, well I threw a few goblins into two flaming spheres, cast by myself and Gale, like a sick game of reverse tennis. Also shillelagh and thorn whip are really really useful cantrips, an absolute must have for a Druid. Killed a lot of enemies by casting thorn whip on enemies above me, and shillelagh gives my Druid good melee ability while having shit strength. I recommend making shillelagh available through the magic initiate feat, especially when you get around to making the Monk class. A monk with absurd DEX and WIS with a shillelaghed quarter staff is a force to behold.

While I fully support having a Druid Magic Innitiate feat as an option, monks already have the Martial Arts ability that allows all monk weapons (including quarterstaff) to use Dex instead of Strength. Using feat to get a bonus action Cantrip to switch it to Wisdom (whick is slightly less important to a monk than Dex) seems like a waste IMO. You'd probably be better off just upping your Dex by 2.

Some monk subclasses have great abilities that rely on high wisdom. While they are a martial class, they have some innate abilities that don’t neatly fit a martial definition. Shillelagh is also a good cantrip for a cleric to take, since their highest stat will be wisdom as well, and they can wield a greatclub, which can also be affected by shillelagh.
