I can't just grant extra spells, especially temporary ones, because his character by it's nature of being a druid, will be more powerful than the other three (probably combined) and will overshadow them at everything if i'm not careful. I can't afford to give free handouts to a character that already has the potential to out-combat the entire rest of the party alone.
Any assistance the playground can provide would be appreciated. Ancedotes that are similar are encouraged. I really just don't know what to do from this point as I've exhausted every other idea I have.
