Druid

Holding high a gnarled staff wreathed with holly, a night elf summons the fury of Elune and calls down explosive bolts of moonlight to smite a hulking abomination in the frozen north.

Crouching out of sight on a high tree branch in the form of a tusked jaguar, a troll peers out of the jungle at the strange monuments of Zul'Gurub, keeping a close eye on the Gurubashi's activities.

Holding her staff close, sowing seeds in an elaborate circle around her allies, a worgen quickly heals the wounds of her party.

Rushing the the aid of his friend, quickly shifting into a fearsome horned bear-like creature, an old tauren blocks a fatal blow with his thick hide.

Creating a Druid

As you are creating your druid character, consider the bond you have with the natural world around you. Perhaps you always found comfort in the beasts of the wilds and have spent long in the shape of an animal, imitating nature itself? Perhaps your home was ravaged by raiders and you looked to the forces of nature for aid in rebuilding what was lost, seeking to restore that which has been damaged? or perhaps you have been raised by the faithful of Elune and have embraced the goddess as your own. Maybe your character was born in the depths of the elven forests, which was interpreted as a sign that becoming a druid was part of your character's destiny.

Have you always been an adventurer as part of your druidic calling, or did you first spend time as a caretaker of a sacred                           grove? Or perhaps you become an adventurer                                to find your bond to nature elsewhere in the                                  world.

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• (a) a quarterstaff or (b) any simple weapon
• (a) a dagger or (b) any simple weapon
• Leather armor, explorer's pack, and a druidic focus

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the druid spell list. You learn additional druid cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Druid table.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Druid table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast a druid spell, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of druid spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the druid spell list. When you do so, choose a number of druid spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your druid level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level druid, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of druid spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells, since your magic draws upon your devotion and attune-ment to nature. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making an attack with one.

Ritual Casting

You can cast a druid spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a druidic focus as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells.

Shapeshifts

There is no limit to how long you can stay shapeshifted, reverting to your normal form as a bonus action. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

• Your retain your game statistics, alignment, and personality. While shapeshifted you are considered unarmored and calculate your Armor Class according to the shape.
• When you shapeshift your hit points do not change, and any damage taken whilst in a shape carries over to your normal form.
• You can't cast spells, unless the shape says otherwise, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your form. However, transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as moonbeam, that you've already cast.
• You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the form is physically capable of doing so, in addition to gaining those of the shape.
• You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment merged with your form has no effect and cannot be activated until you leave the form, but any passive magical properties will still affect you.

Druidic Forms

Shapeshifts are an extension of the druid. Both as a person but also as a race, a taurens shapeshifts might have horns similar to their own, an orc or troll might grant theirs tusks, a night elf might decorate theirs with signs of Elune, and so on. Similarly their beasts might be different, a night elf might choose a slim panther while a tauren chooses a stout lion.

Certain shapes does not have to be grand transfor­mations, a druid who shapeshifts into a moonkin might not become a giant owlbeast but instead take on qualities of Elune, make their eyes flare bright with silver and cover their skin in the dots of a starry night. A druid who takes the shape of a treant might instead take on qualities of the wilds. Turn their skin to bark, their hair to leaves, and so on.

The shapeshifts are yours to personalize, although each is tied to certain type of animal or creature, you can modify its appearance to better fit your race, or talk with your DM about making it something completely different.

Your mystical connection to Elune infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. At 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to Path spells connected to your affinity for both the arcane and natural forms of magic.

If an enemy creature ends its turn within 10 feet of you, you can use your reaction to summon a cyclone to trap them.
