### Circle of the Sun
<div class ='quotefont';>  If you're going to worship anything, it might as well be the sun. It grows your food, lights your days, and it looks great as a big symbol on a robe.     <br><br>                 <i> HIPPOCAMPER</i> </div>

<br>

The sun watches over all life, gifting its energy to the growth of the smallest plankton and the widest wealds; and from there its light is spread from the very bottom to the very top of the animal food chain. Druids of the Circle of the Sun venerate its power and cultivate its gift by nurturing the plants that first receive it. They gather when the dawn's touch first warms the ground and work through the day until sunset, absorbing every last ray of light they can and observing the bounty from the days before. Over time, trusting in the constant growth given by the sun's radiance, these caretakers can restore even a blighted landscape into a verdant kingdom of cultivated light.

#### Circle Spells
*2nd-level Circle of the Sun feature*
<p> Absorbing the sun's power like the plants you care for grants you access to certain spells. At 2nd level, you learn the <i>light</i> cantrip. When you cast it, the light has the natural qualities of sunlight.

You also learn an additional spell of 1st level or higher when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Circle of the Sun 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 the Sun Spells
| Druid Level  | Spells |
|:---|:-----------|
|  2nd  | *bless*, *entangle*, *light* |
|  3rd  | *moonbeam* (appears as sunlight), *spike growth* |
|  5th  | *daylight*, *hypnotic pattern* |
|  7th  | *aura of life*, *grasping vine* |
|  9th  | *awaken*, *dawn**|

#### Wild Growth
*2nd-level Circle of the Sun feature*
<p> The gift of solar nourishment is yours to offer. As an action, you can expend one use of your Wild Shape feature to imbue a seed with the enriching energy of the sun, rather than assuming a beast form.

You can throw the seed to an unoccupied space you can see on the ground within 60 feet of you, where it magically sprouts into a plant with a challenge rating as high as 1 that you have seen before. Alternatively, you can cause the seed to sprout into an empowered plant of your own devising. See

<div class ='newfont';>                    Human Druid<br>                       of the Sun </div>

this creature’s game statistics in the Sunbloom Plant stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. Whenever you do so, choose a form: Flower, Tree, or Vine. The plant resembles a large flora specimen of your choice in the chosen form, which determines some of the traits in its stat block.

A plant you sprout using this feature in an area of sunlight adds an extra 1d10 to its hit points and hit point maximum. The plant regains hit points equal to your druid level at the start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point and is in sunlight or running water.

In combat, the plant shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the plant can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

A plant sprouted using this feature withers when it drops to 0 hit points, or becomes inanimate after 1 hour.

Starting at 6th level, you can choose to sprout a plant with a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 3, rounded down.

#### Solar Symphony
*6th-level Circle of the Sun feature*
<p> You and your plants share a glimmer of solar magic that empowers your spells when you work together. Hostile creatures within 15 feet of plants that you have magically created or manipulated, such those created by the <i>entangle</i> spell or your Wild Growth feature, have disadvantage on saving throws against your circle spells.

In addition, you can use a bonus action to cause a plant creature you have magically created that is on the ground within 60 feet of you and has not moved since the start of its last turn to vanish into the earth and reappear in an unoccupied space on the ground within 15 feet of you or another plant you have magically created within range. You can use this bonus action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Megaflora
*10th-level Circle of the Sun feature*
<p> When you magically create a plant using your Wild Growth feature, it can now gain any number of the following benefits:

- It's size category increases by one.
- The reach of its attacks increases by 5 feet. 
- Once on each of its turns, one of the plant's attacks can deal an extra 1d4 damage to a target on a hit.

In addition, the area affected by your druid spells that magically create or manipulate plants is increased by 5 feet.

#### Sundrenched
*14th-level Circle of the Sun feature*
<p> You have become saturated in life giving energy from bathing in the sun's rays. You no longer need to eat, and you and any plants you create gain resistance to slashing, radiant and necrotic damage. In addition, although you emit no light, the area 30 feet around you in all directions counts as an area of sunlight while you have at least one Hit Die remaining.

> ##### Wild Growth Sprouts
> Listed here are examples of plant creatures you can sprout using your Wild Growth feature, noted with the environment they might be seen in. A monster with an asterisk ( * ) next to its name appears in *Volo's Guide to Monsters*.

><b>LEVELS 2+</b>
