Lmao the backstory mentioned in the post is that my druid is an eco-terrorist. Our party is a group of randos that were, oddly enough, hired to assassinate the king, and he's not in it for the money.
Being a mage kind of makes you a murderhobo by necessity. Shooting/stabbing goblins to death with a weapon is a reasonable degree of force, summoning a swarm of insects to eat them alive is visibly excessive.
