Features

  • Lvl 1 Druidic. You know Druidic, the secret language of druids, and can use it to leave hidden messages.
  • Lvl 1 Primal Order. Choose Magician (an extra cantrip and Intelligence-based checks tied to nature) or Warden (proficiency with martial weapons and medium armor).
  • Lvl 1 Spellcasting. You can cast druid spells using Wisdom as your spellcasting ability.
  • Lvl 1 Armor Restriction. Druids will not wear armor or use shields made of metal.
  • Lvl 2 Wild Shape. As a bonus action, magically assume the shape of a beast you've seen before, limited by challenge rating and other restrictions that ease with level. Usable twice per short or long rest.
  • Lvl 3 Druid Circle. Choose a circle of druids that grants features at 3rd level and higher.
  • Lvl 18 Timeless Body. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year.
