Druid
Holding high a gnarled staff wreathed with holly, a loxodon summons the fury of the storm and calls down explosive bolts of lightning to smite the torch-carrying orcs who threaten her forest.
Crouching out of sight on a high tree branch in the form of a leopard, a goblin peers out of the jungle at the strange construction of a temple of the Cult of Dragonflesh, keeping a close eye on the cultists’ activities.
Swinging a blade formed of pure fire, a Halfling charges into a mass of skeletal soldiers, sundering the unnatural magic that gives the foul creatures the mocking semblance of life.
Whether calling on the elemental forces of nature or emulating the creatures of the animal world, druids are an embodiment of nature’s resilience, cunning, and fury. They claim no mastery over nature. Instead, they see themselves as extensions of nature’s indomitable will.
Druids revere nature above all, gaining their spells and other magical powers either from the force of nature itself or from a nature deity. Many druids pursue a mystic spirituality of transcendent union with nature rather than devotion to a divine entity.
Druid spells are oriented toward nature and animals—the power of tooth and claw, of sun and moon, of fire and storm. Druids also gain the ability to take on animal forms, and some druids make a particular study of this practice, even to the point where they prefer animal form to their natural form.
Druids are also concerned with the delicate ecological balance that sustains plant and animal life, and the need for civilized folk to live in harmony with nature, not in opposition to it. Druids accept that which is cruel in nature, and they hate that which is unnatural, including aberrations and undead. Druids sometimes lead raids against such creatures, especially when the monsters encroach on the druids' territory.
Druids are often found guarding sacred sites or watching over regions of unspoiled nature. But when a significant danger arises, threatening nature’s balance or the lands they protect, druids take on a more active role in combating the threat, as adventurers.

Druidic
1st Level Druid Feature
You learn Druidic.
Nature Given Shape
2nd Level Druid Feature
You can use Khaagaazh to shape the world around you to change your shape and create companions. You gain a number of Form Points equal to your Proficiency Bonus, which you use to fuel many of your Druid features.
Wild Shape
2nd Level Druid Feature
You spend 1 Wild Point to assume the Form of a beast as a Bonus Action. This Form lasts for a number of hours equal to half your Druid Level. After this time you revert to your normal form unless you spend another Wild Point as a Free Action to retain your Form. While in this Form you cannot cast Spells.
You revert to your original form early if you fall Unconscious, drop to 0 Hit Points, die, or choose to as a Free Action. When you revert to your original form, you retain the number of Hit Points you had before you used this Bonus Action to transform.
When you assume this Form, choose one of the following Forms, each of which represent many types of animals:
- Form of the Behemoth. This form represents the large, slow, and beefy beasts, such as bears, rhinos, elephants, or hippos.
- Form of the Hunter. This form represents skillful, yet swift hunters, such as wolves, lions, cheetahs, and like.
- Form of the Stalker. This form represents the smaller, nimble, and skillful trackers of the animal kingdom, such as hyenas, bloodhounds or panthers.
- Form of the Spy. This form represents the small, unnoticed, quiet beasts, such as squirrels, bunnies, mice, or incests.
- Form of the Toxic. This form represents beasts with poison, venom, or other grisly forms of facing their foes, such as snakes, poisonous frogs, or lizards.
Initially, your Form is incapable of flying and swimming. (You can still transform into aquatic and avian Forms if you wish; they are simply restricted to land travel.)
When you reach 4th Level in this class, you can choose to grant your Form a Swimming Speed equal to its Walking Speed when you transform into it. If you do so, the Form's Walking and Climbing Speed is halved, and your Form can breathe both air and water.
When you reach 8th Level in this class, you can choose to instead grant your Form a Flying Speed equal to its Walking Speed when you transform into it. If you do so, the Form's Walking and Climbing speed (if any) is halved.
Wild Companion
2nd Level Druid Feature
You gain the ability to summon a spirit that assumes an animal form. You can spend 1 Form Point as an action to cast the Find Familiar Spell without Material Components. When you cast the Spell in this way, the Familiar is a Fey instead of a Beast, and it disappears after a number of hours equal to half your Druid Level.
Druidic Circles
2nd, 6th, 10th, and 14th Level Druid Feature
You choose one of the following Druidic Circles who's traits you take on.
Ability Score Improvements

Your skill and strength expands, choose one of the following:
- Increase one Ability Score of your choice by 3.
- Increase one Ability Score of your choice by 2 and one Ability Score of your choice by 1
- Increases three Ability Scores of your choice by 1.
- Gain one Feat of your choice.
No Ability Score increases or Feat gained from this feature can increase one of your Ability Scores beyond 20 unless stated otherwise.
Timeless Body
18th Level Druid Feature
The primal magic that you wield causes you to age more slowly. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year.
Beast Spells
18th Level Druid Feature
You can cast any Spell that does not require a Material Component while in a Form you assume using your Wild Shape feature.
Archdruid
20th Level Druid Feature
You gain an unlimited number of Form Points.

Druidic Circles
Circle of Unbreaking
The Circle of Unbreaking is an order of Druids who have abandoned the patient teachings of their predecessors, deciding instead to take up arms in defense of the wilderness. These combative druids form militias and harness the fury of nature itself to forcefully remove any encroaching evil that threatens their sacred lands.
While the chaotic bend of nature is found within these druids, their bodies and impulses are tamed through training and discipline. Originally from the unforgiving festerwood, this circle’s teachings are as rigorous as the forest, blending a mixture of offense and defense to stand up to all of the world’s challenges.
Improved Shillelagh
2nd Level Circle of Unbreaking Feature
You gain proficiency with Martial Weapons. In addition, you learn the Shillelagh Cantrip as a Druid Cantrip, but it doesn't count against your Cantrips Known. When you cast the Shillelagh Cantrip, you can use it to imbue any Melee Weapon you are holding with nature’s power. If you’re holding a Weapon under the effects of Shillelagh, you can use it as a Druid Spellcasting Focus.
Wild Recovery
2nd Level Circle of Unbreaking Feature
You gain the ability to recover using the wild, bestial magic that courses through you. As a Bonus Action, you can spend 1 Form Point to regain a number of Hit Points equal to 1d10 + your Wisdom Modifier. Starting at 10th Level, you regain 2d10 + your Wisdom Modifier instead.
Extra Attack
6th Level Circle of Unbreaking Feature
You can perform an additional Attack as part of the Attack Action.
If you have multiple copies of this feature and achieve a certain level threshold, the number of Attacks you can perform increases. At 5th Level if you have one copy of the feature, you can perform one extra Attack, at 11th Level if you have two copies of the feature you can perform two extra Attacks, and at 20th Level if you have three copies of the feature you can perform three extra Attacks.
Shillelagh Master
6th Level Circle of Unbreaking Feature
When you cast the Shillelagh Cantrip, the Weapon’s Damage Die becomes a d10, instead of a d8. When you reach 14th Level in this class, the Damage Die becomes a d12.
War Druid
10th Level Circle of Unbreaking Feature
When you use your Action to cast a Druid Cantrip, you can make one Weapon Attack as a Bonus Action.
Nature Armor
14th Level Circle of Unbreaking Feature
Your connection to nature helps to shield you from harm. At the start of each of your turns, you gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to half your Druid Level.
