Druid

At 6th level, home can be wherever you are. During a short or long rest, you can invoke the shadowy power of the Gloaming Court to help guard your respite. At the start of the rest, you touch a point in space, and an invisible, 30-foot-radius sphere of magic appears, centered on that point. 3 blocks the sphere.

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.

Starting at 10th level, you can use the hidden, magical pathways that some fey use to traverse space in the blink of an eye. As a bonus action on your turn, you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Alternatively, you can use your action to teleport one willing creature you touch up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.

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.

At 14th level, the magic of the Feywild grants you the ability to travel mentally or physically through dreamlands.

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.

Starting at 6th level, beasts and fey that you conjure are more resilient than normal. Any beast or fey summoned or created by a spell that you cast gains the following benefits:

• The creature appears with more hit points than normal: 2 extra hit points per Hit Die it has.
• The damage from its natural weapons is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Beginning at 10th level, your Spirit Totem safeguards the beasts and fey that you call forth with your magic. When a beast or fey that you summoned or created with a spell ends its turn in your Spirit Totem aura, that creature regains a number of hit points equal to half your druid level.

Starting at 14th level, the nature spirits you commune with protect you when you are the most defenseless. 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 using 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.

At 6th level, your spores gain the ability to infest a corpse and animate it. 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.

At 10th level, you gain the ability to seed an area with deadly spores. As a bonus action while your Symbiotic Entity feature is active, you can hurl spores up to 30 feet away, where they swirl 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.

Whenever a creature moves into the cube or starts its turn there, that creature 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.

While the cube of spores persists, you can't use your Halo of Spores reaction.

At 14th level, the fungal spores in your body alter you: you can't be blinded, deafened, frightened, or poisoned, and any critical hit against you counts as a normal hit instead, unless you're incapacitated.

6th-level Circle of Wildfire feature

The bond with your wildfire spirit enhances your destructive and restorative spells. Whenever you cast a spell that deals fire damage or restores hit points while your wildfire spirit is summoned, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus equal to the number rolled to one damage or healing roll of the spell.

In addition, when you cast a spell with a range other than self, the spell can originate from you or your wildfire spirit.

10th-level Circle of Wildfire feature

You gain the ability to turn death into magical flames that can heal or incinerate. When a Small or larger creature dies within 30 feet of you or your wildfire spirit, a harmless spectral flame springs forth in the dead creature's space and flickers there for 1 minute. When a creature you can see enters that space, you can use your reaction to extinguish the spectral flame there and either heal the creature or deal fire damage to it. The healing or damage equals 2d10 + your Wisdom modifier.

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

14th-level Circle of Wildfire feature

The bond with your wildfire spirit can save you from death. If the spirit is within 120 feet of you when you are reduced to 0 hit points and thereby fall unconscious, you can cause the spirit to drop to 0 hit points. You then regain half your hit points and immediately rise to your feet.

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

Celebrate Connection to the Natural World

The Circle of the Land comprises mystics and sages who safeguard ancient knowledge and rites. These Druids meet within sacred circles of trees or standing stones to whisper primal secrets in Druidic. The circle's wisest members preside as the chief priests of their communities.

You can cast one of the level 1+ spells that you have prepared from your Circle Spells feature without expending a spell slot, and you must finish a Long Rest before you do so again.

In addition, when you finish a Short Rest, you can choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your Druid level (round up), and none of them can be level 6+. For example, if you're a level 6 Druid, you can recover up to three levels' worth of spell slots. You can recover a level 3 spell slot, a level 2 and a level 1 spell slot, or three level 1 spell slots. Once you recover spell slots with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

You are immune to the Poisoned condition, and you have Resistance to a damage type associated with your current land choice in the Circle Spells feature, as shown in the Nature's Ward table.

Nature's Ward

As a Magic action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape and cause spectral trees and vines to appear in a 15-foot Cube on the ground within 120 feet of yourself. They last there for 1 minute or until you have the Incapacitated condition or die. You and your allies have Half Cover while in that area, and your allies gain the current Resistance of your Nature's Ward while there.

As a Bonus Action, you can move the Cube up to 60 feet to ground within 120 feet of yourself.

Adopt Animal Forms to Guard the Wilds

Druids of the Circle of the Moon draw on lunar magic to transform themselves. Their order gathers under the moon to share news and perform rituals.

Changeable as the moon, a Druid of this circle might prowl as a great cat one night, soar over the treetops as an eagle the next day, and then crash through undergrowth as a bear to drive off a trespassing monster. The wild is in the Druid's blood.

While in a Wild Shape form, you gain the following benefits.

Lunar Radiance

Each of your attacks in a Wild Shape form can deal its normal damage type or Radiant damage. You make this choice each time you hit with those attacks.

Increased Toughness

You can add your Wisdom modifier to your Constitution saving throws.

You magically transport yourself, reappearing amid a burst of moonlight. As a Bonus Action, you teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see, and you have Advantage on the next attack roll you make before the end of this turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You can also regain uses by expending a level 2+ spell slot for each use you want to restore (no action required).

The power of the moon suffuses you, granting you the following benefits.

Improved Lunar Radiance

Once per turn, you can deal an extra 2d10 Radiant damage to a target you hit with a Wild Shape form's attack.

Shared Moonlight

Whenever you use Moonlight Step, you can also teleport one willing creature. That creature must be within 10 feet of you, and you teleport it to an unoccupied space you can see within 10 feet of your destination space.

Become One with Tides and Storms

Druids of the Circle of the Sea draw on the tempestuous forces of oceans and storms. Some view themselves as embodiments of nature's wrath, seeking vengeance against those who despoil nature. Others seek mystical unity with nature by attuning themselves to the ebb and flow of the tides, following the rush of currents and waves and listening to the inscrutable whispers and roars of the winds.

The size of the Emanation created by your Wrath of the Sea increases to 10 feet.

In addition, you gain a Swim Speed equal to your Speed.

Your Wrath of the Sea confers two more benefits while active, as detailed below.

Flight

You gain a Fly Speed equal to your Speed.

Resistance

You have Resistance to Cold, Lightning, and Thunder damage.

Instead of manifesting the Emanation of Wrath of the Sea around yourself, you can manifest it around one willing creature within 60 feet of yourself. That creature gains all the benefits of the Emanation and uses your spell save DC and Wisdom modifier for it.

In addition, you can manifest the Emanation around both the other creature and yourself if you expend two uses of your Wild Shape instead of one when manifesting it.

Harness Secrets Hidden in Constellations

The Circle of the Stars has tracked heavenly patterns since time immemorial, discovering secrets hidden amid the constellations. By understanding these secrets, the Druids of this circle seek to harness the powers of the cosmos.

Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can consult your Star Map for omens and roll a die. Until you finish your next Long Rest, you gain access to a special Reaction based on whether you rolled an even or an odd number on the die:

• Weal (even): Whenever a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is about to make a D20 Test, you can take a Reaction to roll 1d6 and add the number rolled to the total.
• Woe (odd): Whenever a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is about to make a D20 Test, you can take a Reaction to roll 1d6 and subtract the number rolled from the total.

You can use this Reaction a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

The constellations of your Starry Form improve. The 1d8 of the Archer and the Chalice becomes 2d8, and while the Dragon is active, you have a Fly Speed of 20 feet and can hover.

Moreover, at the start of each of your turns while in your Starry Form, you can change which constellation glimmers on your body.

While in your Starry Form, you become partially incorporeal, giving you Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage.

When the malandanti arrived long ago and began destroying people's crops and livestock, the benandanti rose to combat them. As those baleful witches rode their sorghum brooms and spread ill fortune, the benandanti wielded fennel wands and took to the skies, in animal forms or riding animal spirits, and in so doing kept the evil at bay.

You are a member of the circle of "Good Walkers," benandanti, gentle yet vigilant folk who travel out of their bodies to struggle against the malandanti, malevolent witches who threaten to destroy the crops and livelihoods of the folk of Friuli, a region in Venice's mainland domains.. Originally your Circle could only perform these rites while sleeping at night, but over the years, as strife has encircled the land, your community has tapped into more powerful magic and found ways to extend spirit shifts to waking moments as well.

Now the tradition has grown even further afield beyond the borders of Friuli as the specter of evil has metastasized: you may have joined the circle after you were born with a caul and chosen. Perhaps you joined and trained as an apprentice. Or perhaps you were a druid of a different land, and upon arriving in Terraferma, you saw fit to join a more pressing fight against darkness.

Circle Spells

Your powers unleashed by your soul and ability to influence the material realm grant you access to certain spells. At 2nd level, you learn the chill touch cantrip. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Circle of Benandanti 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.

Circle of Benandanti Spells

Starting at 2nd level, your power over your spirit is unleashed on the material world. You gain the ability to temporarily leave your body and act as your spirit or a version of your wildshape. As a bonus action during your turn in combat, you can transport your spirit up to 30 ft. away from your body. Your body stays stationary (its speed is 0) and cannot act independently of your spirit. It can take damage as normal. Your spirit form gains your movement types and speed..

In your Spirit Form, you are resistant to piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning damage from nonmagical sources. You can attack or cast spells while in Spirit Form, and your Spirit Form has hit points equal to your druid level + your Wisdom modifier. You can enter the Spirit Form a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier + 1 before taking a long rest. If you transport into a Wild Shape form, it does not count against your Wild Shape uses while in Spirit Form. At the end of your next turn, your spirit must return to your body. Any excessive damage to your Spirit Form does not transfer to your original body.

Your attacks in this form are considered magical even if your weapons normally are not.

Optional Feature for all Druids: They can use their Wild Shape to turn into a specific spirit shape by following the rules of Wild Shape stated in the core rules. Each time their proficiency bonus increases, they can choose one more shape that they can turn into.

Note: This optional rule applies to all druids, not only the Circle of the Benandanti. It is printed alongside this subclass in Echoes of Renaissance and attached here for reference.

Your Spirit Form grows in power as your devotion to protecting the people and the harvest does. You can use Spirit Shift while in your Wild Shape form.

In addition, choose one from the following options when you enter your Spirit Form:

Spirit of Reunion: If you are within 60 ft. of your body while in Spirit Form when it ends, your body is teleported to the point your spirit occupies and you are reunited with your body.

Spirit of Retribution: When your spirit returns to your body, creatures caught in the line your spirit travels must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d10 force damage, half on a success.

Spirit of Sanctuary: While your spirit is outside your body, your physical form has a protective caul around it. This makes it harder for enemies to target your physical form, and any enemies which do target it will pay the price. Enemies have Disadvantage on attack rolls against your original body, and if an attacker hits your body, they must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 4d6 psychic damage as your caul attempts to suffocate them. They take half damage on a successful save.

Spirit of Recovery: While your spirit goes forth from your body or returns, you can choose any allies within 5 ft. of the line your spirit travels, and they regain hit points equal to your druid level.

By the time you reach Level 10, your Spirit Form grows ever more powerful. You can choose two abilities from Level 6 when you enter a Spirit Form.

You are now able to pick up small objects while in your Spirit Form.

Additionally, by tapping into the night visions of your Circle, your powers have become stronger in darkness:

• Your spirit can now travel up to 60 ft. from your body.
• You can now choose to stay away from your body for longer periods of time. As a bonus action, you can return. You can stay away from your body for a number of minutes equal to your Wisdom modifier. If you want to extend your time as a spirit beyond that, you run the risk of harming yourself. Once your spirit shift time is expended, you begin taking damage until you return to your body. For the first minute you are not back in your body, you take 1d6 psychic damage, and the damage increases by 1d6 for each passing minute. You can't regain hit points until you return to your body.

At Level 14, you stand as an epitome of the good walkers and gain the following benefits:

• You can now fly as part of your Spirit Shift. Your flying speed is equal to your walking speed.
• You can stay out of your body for a number of days equal to your Wisdom modifier. If you want to extend your time as a spirit beyond that, you run the risk of harming yourself. Once your spirit shift time is expended, you have a number of minutes equal to your Constitution modifier to return, otherwise you risk organ failure and death. After the time is up, you must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or take one level of exhaustion each round.
• Your spirit is wreathed in the primordial power of the moon in the face of darkness, of spring in the face of a late frost. Once per day while in Spirit Form, you can erupt in a shimmering caterwaul of energy. As a bonus action, choose a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier within 60 feet of you. These creatures must make a Wisdom saving throw or take 5d10 psychic damage and 5d10 force damage, half on a success. Additionally, those creatures who failed the save find their souls have left their bodies momentarily, and they are stunned until the end of their next turn.
