### Multiclass Prerequisite

The prerequisite for multiclassing into Druid is 13 Wisdom.

# Druid Traits

## Druidic

You know Druidic, the secret language of druids. You can speak the language and use it to leave hidden messages. You and others who know this language automatically spot such a message. Others spot the message's presence with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check but can't decipher it without magic.

## Spellcasting

### Cantrips

At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the Druid spell list. You learn additional druid cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Druid table.

### Preparing and Casting Spells

The Druid table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your druid spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these druid spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of druid spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the druid spell list. When you do so, choose a number of druid spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your druid level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest.

### Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

**Spell Save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

**Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

### Ritual Casting

You can cast a druid spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

### Spellcasting Focus

You can use a druidic focus as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells.

## Wild Shape

Starting at 2nd level, you can use your action to magically assume the shape of a beast that you have seen before. You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Your druid level determines the beasts you can transform into, as shown in the Beast Shapes table.

 4th
 8th

You can stay in a beast shape for a number of hours equal to half your druid level (rounded down). You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

* Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
* When you transform, you assume the beast's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any extra damage carries over to your normal form. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
* You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell that you've already cast.
* You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
* You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the GM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment. Your equipment doesn't change to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

## Druid Circle

At 2nd level, you choose to identify with a circle of druids. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

* Circle of the Grove

## Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

## Timeless Body

Starting at 18th level, for every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year.

## Beast Spells

Beginning at 18th level, you can cast many of your druid spells in any shape you assume using Wild Shape. You can perform the somatic and verbal components of a druid spell while in a beast shape, but you aren't able to provide material components.

## Archdruid

At 20th level, you can use your Wild Shape an unlimited number of times.

Additionally, you can ignore the verbal and somatic components of your druid spells, as well as any material components that lack a cost and aren't consumed by a spell. You gain this benefit in both your normal shape and your beast shape from Wild Shape.

* ***Spider Alpha.*** You gain resistance to Poison damage and can't be Poisoned. While wildshaped, you have advantage to grapple (but not to maintain grapple).

### Bonded Menagerie

Make a Wisdom (Animal Handling) check contested by the beast's Charisma saving throw. If you win the contest, the beast becomes loyal to you; otherwise, you enter into combat with it. You can have three bonded beasts at one time. At level 14, the CR cap increases to 1.

As a bonus action, you can choose one creature you can see within 120 feet of you and spend a number of those dice equal to half your druid level or less. Roll the spent dice and add them together. The target regains a number of hit points equal to the total. The target also gains 1 temporary hit point per die spent.

You regain the expended dice when you finish a long rest.

### Hearth of Moonlight and Shadow

While within the sphere, you and your allies gain a +5 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) and Wisdom (Perception) checks, and any light from open flames in the sphere (a campfire, torches, or the like) isn't visible outside it.

The sphere vanishes at the end of the rest or when you leave the sphere.

### Walker in Dreams

At 14th level, when you finish a short rest, you can cast one of the following spells, without expending a spell slot or requiring material components: Dream (with you as the messenger), Scrying, or Teleportation Circle.

This use of teleportation circle is special. Rather than opening a portal to a permanent teleportation circle, it opens a portal to the last location where you finished a long rest on your current plane of existence. If you haven't taken a long rest on your current plane, the spell fails but isn't wasted.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

### Renewing Aura

At 2nd level, you gain a renewing aura that you can activate as a bonus action to heal yourself and allies within 20 feet. The below table indicates how many points your aura possesses, which determines how many times you may use it.

 6th

 2
 3
 4

You regain all expended aura points upon the completion of a long rest.

### Nature's Blessing

Starting at 6th level, you learn how to channel divine energies through nature. You may select two spells from the Cleric spell list to learn which do not count towards your total spells known or prepared spells. You may change which two spells from the Cleric spell list you know during any short or long rest.

### Bestial Brilliance

Whenever you have used your Wild Shape feature to transform into a creature, you exude a radiant aura that heals all targets within 10 feet of you for 1 hit point whenever you take an action. If your roll a natural 20, all targets are instead healed for 3 hit points and you immediately regain 1 aura point.

### Purification Aura

This does not come without a cost though.

On a failed save they attack the nearest living creature and attempt to kill and consume them.

### Spirit Totem

Starting at 2nd level, as a bonus action, you can magically summon an incorporeal spirit to a point you can see within 60 feet of you. The spirit creates an aura in a 30-foot radius around that point. It counts as neither a creature nor an object, though it has the spectral appearance of the creature it represents.

* **Unicorn Spirit:** You and your allies gain advantage on all ability checks made to detect creatures in the spirit's aura. In addition, if you cast a spell with a spell slot that restores hit points to anyone inside or outside the aura, each creature of your choice in the aura also regains hit points equal to your druid level.

### Mighty Summoner

At 6th level, any beast or fey summoned or created by your spells gains the following benefits:

### Faithful Summons

Starting at 14th level, if you are reduced to 0 hit points or are incapacitated against your will, you can immediately gain the benefits of Conjure Animals as if it were cast with a 9th-level spell slot. It summons four beasts of your choice that are challenge rating 2 or lower. The conjured beasts appear within 20 feet of you. If they receive no commands from you, they protect you from harm and attack your foes. The spell lasts for 1 hour, requiring no concentration, or until you dismiss it (no action required).

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

 9th

### Halo of Spores

Starting at 2nd level, you can launch toxic spores at other creatures. When a creature you can see moves into a space within 10 feet of you or starts its turn there, you can use your reaction to deal 1d4 necrotic damage to that creature unless it succeeds on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. The necrotic damage increases to 1d6 at 6th level, 1d8 at 10th level, and 1d10 at 14th level.

### Symbiotic Entity

At 2nd level, when you use your Wild Shape feature, you can awaken your spores, rather than transforming. When you do so, you gain 4 temporary hit points per level you have in this class, the damage of your Halo of Spores feature doubles, and your melee weapon attacks deal an extra 1d6 poison damage to any target they hit. These benefits last for 10 minutes, until you lose all these temporary hit points, or until you use your Wild Shape again.

### Fungal Infestation

At 6th level, if a beast or a humanoid that is Small or Medium dies within 10 feet of you, you can use your reaction to animate it, causing it to stand up immediately with 1 hit point. The creature uses the zombie stat block in the Monster Manual. It remains animate for 1 hour, after which time it collapses and dies.

In combat, the zombie’s turn comes immediately after yours. It obeys your mental commands, and the only action it can take is the Attack action, making one melee attack.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

### Spreading Spores

At 10th level, as a bonus action, you hurl fungal spores up to 30 feet away, where they swirl around in a 10-foot cube for 1 minute. The spores disappear early if you use this feature again, if you dismiss them as a bonus action, or if your Symbiotic Entity feature is no longer active. While the cube of spores persists, you can't use your Halo of Spores feature, but any creature that starts its turn in the cube takes your Halo of Spores damage, unless the creature succeeds on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. A creature can take this damage no more than once per turn.

### Fungal Body

At 14th level, you can't be blinded, deafened, frightened, or poisoned, and if an attack is a critical hit against you, it doesn't deal its extra damage to you, unless you are incapacitated.

## Circle of the Stars

An ancient lineage, the Circle of Stars allows druids to draw on the power of starlight. These druids have tracked heavenly patterns since time immemorial, discovering secrets hidden amid the constellations. By revealing and understanding these secrets, the Circle of the Stars seeks to harness the powers of the cosmos.

Many druids of this circle keep detailed records of the stars and their effects on the world. Some groups document these observations at megalithic sites, which serve as enigmatic libraries of lore. These repositories might take the form of stone circles, pyramids, petroglyphs, and underground temples—any construction durable enough to protect the circle's sacred knowledge even against a great cataclysm.

### Star Map

At 2nd level, you've created a star map as part of your study
of the heavens. The map is a Tiny object and can
serve as a spellcasting focus for your druid
spells. You decide what form the object takes, or
you can determine what it is by rolling on the
Star Map table.

 3
 4
 5
 6

If you lose your map, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to magically create a replacement. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous map.

You can cast the augury and guiding bolt spells without expending a spell slot and without preparing the spell, provided you use the star map as the spellcasting focus. You can cast a spell from the map in this way a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

### Starry Form

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to harness constellations’ power to alter your form. As an action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to take on a starry form rather than transforming into a beast.

While in your starry form, you retain your game statistics, but your body takes on a luminous, starlike quality; your joints glimmer like stars, and glowing lines connect them as on a star chart. This form sheds bright light in a 10- foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. The form lasts for 10 minutes or until you’re incapacitated.

Whenever you assume your starry form, choose which of the following constellations glimmers on your body; your choice gives you certain benefits while in the form:

**Chalice.** A constellation of a life-giving goblet appears on you. Whenever you cast a spell using a spell slot that restores hit points to a creature, you or another creature within 30 feet of you can regain hit points equal to 1d8 + half your level in this class.

**Archer.** A constellation of an archer appears on you. You gain a bonus action that you can use to make a ranged spell attack, hurling a luminous arrow that targets a creature you can see within 60 feet of you. On a hit, the attack deals radiant damage equal to 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier.

**Dragon.** A constellation of a wise, ancient dragon appears on you. When you make an Intelligence or a Wisdom check or a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, you can treat a roll of 9 or lower on the d20 as a 10.

### Cosmic Omen

At 6th level, you learn to use your star map to divine the will of the cosmos. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can consult your star map for omens. When you do so, roll a d6. You gain one of the following possible omens based on whether you rolled an even number or an odd number on the d6:

**Weal (even).** Whenever a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, a saving throw, or an ability check, you can use your reaction to roll a d6 and add the number rolled to the total.

**Woe (odd).** Whenever a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, a saving throw, or an ability check, you can use your reaction to roll a d6 and subtract the number rolled from the total.

You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

### Full of Stars

Starting at 10th level, while your Starry Form feature is active, you become partially incorporeal, giving you resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

### Star Flare

Starting at 14th level, Your connection to the cosmos allows you to conjure brilliant starlight. As an action, you conjure a burst of light in a 30-foot-radius sphere centered on a point you can see within 120 feet of you. You can immediately teleport each willing creature in the sphere to an unoccupied space within 30 feet of it. Each creature remaining in the sphere must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or take 4d10 radiant damage and be blinded until the end of your next turn.

Once you have used this action, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot of 5th level or higher to use it again.

## Circle of the Sword

Druids who align themselves with this circle are very unusual, actually being very similar to paladins in that they swear an oath to protect the wild, with extreme punishments dealt to those who break this sacred promise. Most druids of the sword who break their oath and turn their back on the natural world are rejected and join one of the many groups of outcasts. The tenets of the Oath of the Circle of the Sword are as follows:

* **Perception.** Always be ready to see the signs shown by the world. Nature will punish those who reject the fundamental truths.
* **Protection.** The helpless creatures of the wild must be preserved, even when no one else will. Every defenseless beast slain for the advance of civilization is a tragic loss to be punished.
* **Retribution.** The cruel destroyers of the wilds must themselves be destroyed for their misdeeds. If no remorse is given, then there should in return be no mercy.

### Circle Spells

At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the spells table below.

Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn't appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.

### Protect your Companions

Starting at 2nd level, you can use a bonus action to give yourself and up to 3 other creatures within 30 feet of you that you can see temporary hit points equal to your double druid level + your Wisdom modifier. Beasts, Fey, Plants, and Elementals gain an extra 5 temporary hit points. These temporary hit points disappear after 3 hours, or until you take a rest. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

### Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with all martial weapons and Investigation skill.

### Smite the Corrupted

At 6th level, you gain the ability to bond yourself with one weapon. At the end of a short or long rest, you must touch a melee weapon with which you have proficiency. This weapon becomes magically bound to you. It cannot be forcefully taken from you, and you can make it appear in your hand or within 10 feet of you as a bonus action. You can use your Wisdom score to determine the attack and damage bonuses for the weapon you are bound to.

Also beginning at this level, you can spend a use of your Wild Shape to deal an additional 1d8 damage to a target that you hit with a melee attack. This damage increases to 1d10 at 12th level. At 15th level, when you use this feature, the attack ignores damage resistance.

### Give no Quarter

Beginning at 10th level, you can magically augment your bound weapon. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it, and it counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming damage resistances and immunities to non-magical damage. In addition, you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells.

Also at this level, you can attack twice instead of once when you take the Attack action with your bound weapon.

### Guard the Wild

Starting at 14th level, you become a spirit of retribution and a primordial guardian of the wilds. You gain resistance to one damage type of your choice. You can change this damage type every time you finish a long rest. In addition, you can choose a creature type. You can expend two uses of your Wild Shape to grant yourself advantage on attack rolls against creatures with that type for 1 minute. When you finish a long rest, you can change that creature type.

### Harvest's Scythe

Starting at 2nd level, you have a pool of energy represented by a number of d10s equal to your druid level.

When you roll damage for a spell, you can increase that damage by spending dice from the pool. You can spend a number of dice equal to half your druid level or less. Roll the spent dice and add them to the damage as necrotic damage. If you kill one or more hostile creatures with a spell augmented in this way, you or an ally of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you regains 2 hit points per die spent to increase the spell's damage, or 5 hit points per die if at least one of the slain creatures was undead.

You regain the expended dice when you finish a long rest.

### Speech Beyond the Grave

At 6th level, you can cast Speak with Dead without material components, and you understand what the target of this casting says. It can understand your questions, even if you don't share a language or it is not intelligent enough to speak.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

### Watcher at the Threshold

At 10th level, you gain resistance to necrotic and radiant damage. In addition, while you aren't incapacitated, any ally within 30 feet of you has advantage on death saving throws.

### Paths of the Dead

At 14th level, you can cast Etherealness. Once the spell ends, you can't cast it with this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

## Circle of Wildfire

Druids who are members of the Circle of Wildfire
understand the necessity of destruction, such as
how a forest fire promotes growth. These druids
bond with a primal spirit that harbors
destructive tendencies, allowing the druids to
use their power to create controlled flames that
help flora and fauna reproduce and grow.

### Circle Spells

You have formed a mystical bond with a wildfire
spirit, a primal being of creation and destruction.
Your link with this spirit grants you access to
certain spells. At 2nd level, you learn the fire bolt
cantrip.

When you reach certain levels in this class, you
gain access to the spells listed for that level in
the Circle of Wildfire Spells table. Once you gain
access to one of these spells, you always have it
prepared, and it doesn’t count against the
number of spells you can prepare each day. If
you gain access to a spell that doesn’t appear on
the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a
druid spell for you.

### Summon Wildfire

At 2nd level, you can summon the primal spirit bound to your
soul. As an action, you can expend one use of
your Wild Shape feature to summon your
wildfire spirit, rather than assuming a beast
form.

The spirit appears in an unoccupied space of
your choice you can see within 30 feet of you.
Each creature within 10 feet of the spirit (other
than you) when it appears must succeed on a
Dexterity saving throw against your spell save
DC or take 2d10 fire damage.

The wildfire spirit is friendly to you and your
companions and obeys your commands. See this
creature’s game statistics in the wildfire spirit
stat block. You determine the spirit’s
appearance. Some spirits take the form of a
humanoid figure made of gnarled branches
covered in flame, while others look like beasts
wreathed in fire.

In combat, the wildfire spirit shares your
initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately
after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is
the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action
on your turn to command it to take one of the
actions in its stat block or to take the Dash,
Disengage, Help, or Hide action.

The wildfire spirit manifests for 1 hour, until it
is reduced to 0 hit points, or until you use your
Wild Shape again.

### Flames of Life

vitality. When a Small or larger creature that you

When a creature you can see touches these
flames, the creature regains hit points or takes

your druid level, and each creature of your
choice within 30 feet of you that you can see
takes fire damage equal to 2d10 + your druid
level.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again
until you finish a long rest.
