Druid

Natural Demeanor 

At 3rd level your connection to the natural world comes forth and becomes omnipresent. Choose one of the following: 

A Way With Animals
Beasts understand anything you verbally communicate in Druidic, and you can comprehend them in return. The knowledge and awareness of many beasts is limited by their intelligence, but at minimum beasts can give you information about nearby locations and monsters, including whatever they have perceived within the past day. At the Narrator’s discretion, you might be able to persuade a beast to perform a small favor for you. In addition, you gain an expertise die on Acrobatics or Wilderness checks when interacting with animals. 

Leyline Awareness
Druidic rituals attune you to the leylines that course through Culminance. While you are on Culminance, you always know the following information: 

• Which way is north.

• The direction of the nearest forest.

• The direction of the nearest natural body of water.

• The direction of the nearest city or other community of Mortals.

• The general health of the local ecosystem, and if anything unnatural or magical is upsetting the elemental balance.

Scholar of Elements
Your circle taught the old magic at the root of all things, granting you eldritch insights beyond mundane arcane studies. You gain an expertise die on Arcana checks. In addition, you may choose to use Wisdom when making Arcana checks. 

Visions of the Old Ways
In your dreams, or through meditation, you've seen flashes of a land you've never seen. You gain an expertise die on Old World checks. In addition, you may choose to use Wisdom when making Old World checks. 

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 increase two ability scores of your choice 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. 

Druidic Lore 

At 7th level, your knowledge of the natural world grows. Choose one of the following: 

Druidic Secrets
You’re adept at covertly performing druidic magic without attracting attention. When you cast a druid spell you may choose to do so utilizing silent and subtle Druidic motions and signs in place of both the spell’s seen and vocalized components, gestures that creatures which can speak Druidic are aware of. Once you cast a druid spell in this way, you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest. 

Toxin Intuition
You are a veteran of nature’s chemical warfare. You automatically know if any flora or fauna is poisonous or venomous. In addition, you gain advantage on checks made to determine if a foodstuff is poisonous and saving throws against poison. 

Truthspeaker
You’ve learned to tap into the fundamental truth that connects all things, at least briefly. You may cast the spell legend lore without expending a spell slot and without material components. Once you cast the spell in this way, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest. 

Waste Not
With 10 minutes work you can scavenge valuable cuts from the corpse of a beast, dragon, monstrosity, or plant that has a CR of 1 or higher and has died within the last hour. If sold to a collector, naturalist, or other druid, this notable component is worth an amount of gold equal to 5 × the creature’s CR 

Ferocity or Serenity 

At 9th level you choose to embrace either the wild savagery of nature or the control you need to protect it. Choose one of the following: 

Embraced Ferocity
You gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls related to your primordial surge. In addition, whenever you use primordial surge, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to half your Druid level (in addition to those granted by your primordial surge, if any). 

Embraced Serenity
You have advantage on concentration checks made to maintain spells. In addition, when you use your primordial surge to recover and expended spell slot, the spell can be of 3rd-level or lower. You may also expend an additional use of your primordial surge feature to recover an expended spell slot of 5th-level or lower instead.

Improved Natural Bond 

At 11th level your bond has grown and you are able to summon forth far greater nature spirits. As an action, you can expend a use of primordial surge to cast the summon elemental spell. 

Harmonize or Tyrannize 

At 15th level you choose to harmonize with the elements or to harness them. Choose one of the following: 

Harmonize
During a short rest you may choose to meditate and harmonize with your surroundings. If you do, at the end of your rest you attune to the area in a 5-mile radius around you. You magically know what types of creatures are present in your attuned area, their approximate numbers, and if there are any magics disturbing the natural order in your attuned area. While in your attuned area, you have advantage on Wilderness, Awareness, Acrobatics and Initiative checks, and blindsight out to a range of 30 feet. Once attuned to an area, you remain attuned for the next 24 hours. You can only attune to one area at a time. 

Tyrannize
You have learned to draw upon the elements’ influence under their prime form. Whenever you use primordial surge to summon a creature or change your form, you may choose to summon or assume the apex form of that type. An apex form is one size category larger than the creature’s normal size category (maximum Gargantuan) and any attack made by an apex form deals an extra 1d8 damage. In addition, whenever you use primordial surge you gain an expertise die on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution checks, as well as Anchor, Reflex and Fortitude saves for the next minute.

Greater Natural Bond 

At 18th level your bond expands to call upon the most powerful of elemental beings. When you use your primordial surge to cast the summon elemental spell, treat it as if you cast it using a 6th-level spell slot. 

Archdruid 

At 20th level, you become an extension of the elements. When you cast a druid spell you do not need seen or vocalized components, or any material components that have no cost or aren’t consumed by the casting. You also learn to tap into the intricate ebb and flow of life around you and how to divert it as you see fit. You may cast the spells power word kill and true resurrection without expending a spell slot and without any material components. Once you cast either spell in this way, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Secrets of Nature 

When you gain access to a new secret of nature, choose one of the following. 

Aerial Surveyor 

You are at home soaring at dizzying heights and peering towards the horizon. You can familiarize yourself with a 5-mile radius area around you by spending a minute studying your surroundings while flying or at great heights (or through the eyes of something that is). Once you familiarize yourself with an area in this way, you gain an expertise die on any Awareness or Wilderness checks you make while outdoors in that area for the next 24 hours, and you cannot familiarize yourself with another area until you finish a short rest. 

Aquatic Delver

Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a short rest.

In addition, whenever you obtain rare materials, you gain twice as many rare materials. Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

Marshland Guide 

Bogs and swamps are unpleasant to most but are filled with natural beauty to you.

In addition, you ignore the effects of roughing it imposed by resting in wet or swampy environments.
