## Druid Circle

At 2nd level, a druid gains the Druid Circle feature. The following option is available to a druid, in addition to those offered in the *Player's Handbook* and other published Wizards of the Coast works.

### Circle of the Shaman
Using the strength of those who came before them, druids of the Circle of the Shaman are able to tap into the well of power that the spirits provide them. The ancestral magic they wield can be a powerful boon to those who seek their wisdom as friends, but can also be a dominating force against those who would oppose them. Through tradition and spiritual guidance, shamans can extend their abilities beyond those of mere mortals, gaining mastery over both material and spiritual existence.

#### Circle Spells
Your connection to spiritual ancestors and faithfulness to tradition grants you access to certain spells. At 2nd level you learn the *spare the dying* cantrip. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Circle of Waves Spells table.

Once you gain access to a circle spell, 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 the Shaman Spells
| Druid Level  |  Circle Spells |
|:---:|:---:|
|  3rd  | *augury*, *warding bond* |
|  5th  | *remove curse*, *speak with the dead* |
|  7th  | *banishment*, *divination* |
|  9th  | *commune*, *greater restoration* |

#### Summon Totem
You have the ability to craft totems, or wooden sculptures, that can house the spirits of creatures. Starting at 2nd level, you can craft one type of totem and gain the ability to craft an additional one at 6th level, 10th level, 14th level, and 18th level. The types of totems you can craft can be found in the Spiritual Totems section at the end of the description.

As an action, you can place a totem at a point within 30 feet of you. Totems have an armor class of 10 + your Wisdom modifier and hit points equal to 10 + your druid level. You may only place one totem at a time and they last up to one minute before exhausting their energy. You can summon a number of totems equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1) before finishing a long rest.

#### Spiritual Healing
You call to the spirits on behalf of a wounded ally, closing wounds and filling them with vigor. At 6th level, you can cause a creature within 5 feet of you to regain hit points. As a bonus action, target creature can spend a hit die and regain hit points equal to the amount rolled. If the target does so, one ally within 5 feet of your totem, other than the target regains 2d6 hit points. This amount increases by 1d6 at 10th level (3d6), 14th level (4d6), and 18th level (5d6).

You can use this feature once before finishing a short or a long rest.

#### Great Hymn of Nature
In the spirit world, the song is many layered and hours long. In the natural world, you hum three bars and the spirits do the rest. At 10th level, your totem can bolster your allies' defenses. As a bonus action, make a Wisdom (Nature) check and record the result. Until the end of your next turn, all allies within 5 feet of your totem can have an AC equal to that result. You can use this feature once before finising a long rest.

#### Spirit Walk
At 14th level, the spirits of warriors carry you across the battlefield. As part of your movement action, you can choose to briefly dash through the spirit world.

If you move more than 10 feet on your turn, you can teleport to a location you can see, up to a distance equal to your remaining movement. This teleport does not cost movement, and can only be used once per turn.

This totem's damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

#### Eagle Totem
All creatures within 30 feet of this totem have a flying speed equal to their walking speed.
