Druid Circles v2.0.0 - Public Release! (Patreon)

Hey all, after 9 months I’m excited to post an update to my compendium of Druid Circles! I’ve updated some of my old favorites, added some new options, and even included an Alternate version of one of the official subclasses. I’ve found there is a *ton* of unexplored Druid themes in 5e, so I hope you like what I’ve come up with!

If you have ideas for more Druid Circles I’d love to hear about them!

Circle of the Ancients. Do you want to play as a dinosaur druid? Because this is how you play as a dinosaur druid! Based on the Circle of the Moon, this Circle allows you access to fun dinosaur Wild Shapes and thematic spellcasting (don’t worry you can Wild Shape into a T-Rex at level 16).

Circle of the Depths. Far, far below the deepest delvings of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things… This is another take on a combat Druid themed around the aberrations found deep underground. Your Wild Shapes are going to have weird freaky powers, but they’ll also get sunlight sensitivity.

Circle of the Guardian. This is my take on a combat oriented plant druid. Pretty straightforward, you transform into a tree. I think if I were to play one of these subclasses it would be this one. I love me some Ents. Barooom

Circle of the Harvest. My take on the old retired UA Circle of Twilight, the Harvest Druid is a hunter of all things *unnatural*. I’ve combined some traits of the Circle of Stars with that of the Bladesinger Wizard Tradition. I think it’s strong, but certainly not the strongest Druid Circle.

Circle of the Scales (NEW). The Druid subclass that Fizban forgot! Join a Circle in the service of an elder dragon. Pick the dragon you serve, spend spell slots to make your Wild Shape beasts more draconic, and eventually Wild Shape into (teeny tiny) dragons!

Circle of the Sower (NEW). The other half of my take on the “plant druid”, the Circle of the Sower is a spellcasting focused, supportive druid who loves to help the little farmers of the world. Grow some spectacular Mystic Fruits to empower your allies.

Circle of the Tides. Channel the power of the primal waters, both life-giving and destructive. Bring the power of the sea onto dry land with your Tidal Aura.

Alternate Circle of the Land (NEW). I’ve always felt the Circle of the Land was fairly lackluster (and didn’t leave a lot of room for more Druid Circles in the future…). To fix that, I’ve allowed the Land Druid to attune to their environment and switch their list of Circle Spells. To balance out the versatility of this ability you don’t get a full slate of two spells at each level. I’ve also updated the lists to include spells from the books published after the PHB.
