Circle of Guthix

A homebrew Druid subclass by DragonZaid.

Druids of the Circle of Guthix are followers of the god of the same name. In accordance with Guthixian philosophies, they seek to preserve the beauty of nature and achieve balance in all things: body and mind, chaos and order, darkness and light, and good and evil. Members of the Circle of Guthix also practice the art of herblore, or potion making, and have a strong connection to the spirit plane, from which they can summon a variety of otherworldly beings to aid them.

Infuse Pouch

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to imbue pouches with a connection to the spirit plane in order to conjure familiars. When you finish a long rest, you can infuse up to two ordinary cloth pouches you touch with magic, transforming them into summoning pouches. You must be holding a druidic focus or material pouch to do so. When you make the pouches, choose one of the following familiars for each pouch: spirit meerkats, spirit spider, spirit terrorbird, or spirit wolf.

You can activate a summoning pouch using
an action to summon the chosen familiar,
causing it to appear in an unoccupied
space of your choice within 10 feet.
The pouch then loses its magic,
returning to its original state. The
familiar lasts for 1 hour or until you
die or dismiss it using an action. If you
summon a familiar while you already have
one active, the first one vanishes. If you attempt to infuse a new pouch while you've already made two that haven't yet been activated, the oldest pouch vanishes.

The familiar is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. In combat, the familiar acts during your turn. It can move, use its reaction, and use any available bonus actions on its own, but the only action it takes 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 familiar can take any action of its choice, not just dodge.

Beast Speech

Also at 2nd level, your bond with nature's creatures allows you to easily communicate with animals. You always have the speak with animals spell prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. Whenever you cast speak with animals, you can speak to and understand your familiars in addition to beasts.

Herblore Apprentice

Also at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with alchemist's supplies.

Greater Familiars

At 6th level, your connection with the spirit plane has strengthened, allowing you to summon more powerful familiars. When you infuse a summoning pouch, you can also choose the following familiars: bunyip, fruit bat, spirit kyatt, steel minotaur, and war tortoise.

Spirit Weapons

Also at 6th level, damage dealt by your familiars is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming immunity and resistance to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Herblore Prodigy

At 10th level, when you use your alchemist's supplies or herbalism kit to brew a potion, you only need half the normal amount of materials and can make it twice as quickly as normal.

Inner Balance

Also at 10th level, you can use an action to allow a creature you touch to achieve true balance of body and mind. For the next 10 minutes, whenever that creature makes an ability check or saving throw in which they are not proficient, they can add half their proficiency bonus to the roll. Once you use this feature, you cant use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Titanic Familiars

At 14th level, you are so in tune with the spirit plane that you can summon and command some of its most powerful beings. When you infuse a summoning pouch, you can also choose the following familiars: geyser titan, pack yak, steel titan, and unicorn stallion.
