More skillsets, please.
We can't really sustain new guilds, but adding to the ones we've got is good.
I'd like to see primary skill choices, actually.
Examples:
Mages get a sorcery type option, where they can't meld and rely more on direct effects like calcifying flesh and boiling blood. The more traditional type of mage. Also have summoning options, perhaps, where elementals can be called up (grub/gargoyle/wyrm, leech/starsucker/turtle?) and given lesser powers (based on the Earth/Tidelords) to assist.
Guardians get an option that doesn't have angels/demons, and instead they become more angel/demon like and rely primarily on their own powers, supplicating to different Supernals/Demonlords for different effects. Also, perhaps an Esoterica specialization where the focus is generalized Cosmic study to do with the formation of the planes and reality. Potential for some sort of cosmic demesnes, maybe, where you can set up blessed/defiled land to cause effects (and make it work on Ethereal/Elemental).
Wiccans get a specialization in fae magic outside of summoning, so they can throw pixiedust on people and sprout fae wings and things, as well as getting the powers of the respective avatars (slaugh touch and paralyze howl for Night, naked and preggers for Moon). Perhaps a demesne type option here, too, if guardians are getting one.
Druids get something that allows them to ditch the demesne and work without it. I'm thinking pseudo-shapechanger. Seren become more bear/stag/wolf-like (biting and mauling), Glom become more bird/serpent/insect-like (rending with talons and stinging). Also add the more generalized forest mysticism to that, things reminiscent of Scarab and Darkseed, perhaps some voodoo-type lore.
Warriors get more magical-type options. A magic-based version of Athletics (Abjuration)? Acrobatics and Daggers should be choices, as well as Archery. A magic weapon type spec could be done, where you summon/create a weapon and train with it (like instrument proficiency), and you can modify the stats on it at whim. Functions like a caster class that uses deepwounds. Scythes for Magnagora, Spears for Celest, Greatmace for Seren, Axe for Glom? You'd need to take Totems/Rituals and Abjuration as prerequisite, but it opens up the interesting option for an intelligence based melee specialization.
Bards should have a jester-type choice, and I think most of you know what I mean with that. Mountable balloon giraffes please. Also, needs more choices to replace Acrobatics. Useful tertiaries required.
Monks get nerfed.

From the histories, I think that's what the Illuminati are supposed to do.
yay
Anyway, people augmenting their physical forms with power... maybe embodiment... oooer could so see druids tattooing symbols all over their body.
Another cool option is to revive that old skillset suggestion thread. There was voodoo, aetherbarbs, something about ae and the like. Though a skillset that could free druids from their reliance on their demesne would be really nice, or the opposite and reward them for staying at one place (more scary "you've trodden on my land and now even your disembodied soul will not be seen again" style fun)

You know, I quite like these ideas. Especially the sorcery! They'd be a lot of work to design, test and balance but more options are always fun!
Get to work, coders

I third.
I second your third.. which makes it third squared.. which makes it ninthed, right? That's enough to get it done!
