Circle of the Seedling (Version 0.4)
Druids of this circle delve into their love and respect for the plant life of nature. These druids meet together appearing as ordinary plants, as they exchange knowledge and secrets through their druidic language. As a member of this circle, your capabilities of communing with and commanding the plants of nature will grow and flourish like none other of the relative druidic circles.
Plant Wild Shape
Starting at 2nd level when you choose this circle, you may use the Wild Shape feature to assume the form of a plant or plant based creature. When you transform into a plant creature, the max CR that you can transform into is double of what your Wild Shape normally allows.
Protective Vines
At 2nd level, a thin layer of overgrowth covers parts of your skin, shifting and moving itself to protect you based on your surroundings. While not wearing any armor with the exception of a shield, you have resistance against slashing, bludgeoning, and piercing damage that is dealt through non magical means.
Pollinate
At 6th level, you gain the ability to release a strong scented pollen from your body. Using your action, all hostile creatures within a 30ft radius centered around you must make a Wisdom saving throw equal to your spell save DC or be poisoned and charmed by you for 1round. Additionally, friendly creatures that are within the radius of this effect immediately regain 1d8 + your spellcasting modifier hit points. After using this feature, you must take a short rest before using it again.
Shambler Wild Shape
At 10th level, you can expend two uses of Wild Shape to transform into a Shambling Mound.
Natures Guiding Hand
At 16th level, your ability to commune with nature has created a beautiful bond in which the plants of nature strive to protect you as you do for them. You gain advantage on saving throws you make while within 30 feet of plant life or natural terrain that has the ability to shift and move such as vines, tree branches, thick roots, and herbs, flowers, and bushes.
