[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8530999, member: 57383"] Okay, how's this. We where talking about making the [B][I]Dark Druidic Mysteries[/I][/B] some equivalent to [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/classes/druid/druid-circles/']Druid Circles[/URL][/B]. A 4th-level druid spellcaster like the [B][URL='https://enworld.org/index.php?posts/8463645']Pine Kindred Thane[/URL][/B] has one Circle, and normally a Circle grants two bonus spells and a cantrip at 3rd-level. The base 4th-level druid gets 2 cantrips plus spells equal to their caster level + Wisdom modifier (which is 6 spells for a Thane). That means the Thane has 3 cantrips and 8 spells in total. Going by examples like the [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/classes/druid/druid-circles/burning-circle-druid/']Circle of Burning[/URL][/B], [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/classes/druid/druid-circles/circle-of-the-lost/']Circle of the Lost[/URL][/B] and [B][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/classes/druid/druid-circles/circle-of-oaks/']Circle of Oaks[/URL][/B], the bonus Circle spells can be a 1st plus a 2nd or two 2nd-level spells. We might as well give it spells that aren't on the SRD druid list as its "Circle" spells. Why did we give it [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/gust'][I]gust[/I][/URL] as the bonus cantrip again? It doesn't seem very "dark evil druid" to just puff a bit of air at a creature. Plus it's effects are really feeble. Hmm, that Circle of the Lost seems a good source of ideas, as their powers are connected to death and undeath. How about this for the Thane: [LIST] [*][B]Cantrips (at will)[/B]: [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/druidcraft/']druidcraft[/URL][/I], [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/mending']mending[/URL][/I], [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/toll-the-dead/']toll the dead[/URL][/I]* [*][B]1st level (4 slots)[/B]: [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/charm-person']charm person[/URL][/I], [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/entangle']entangle[/URL][/I], [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/fog-cloud']fog cloud[/URL][/I], [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/inflict-wounds/']inflict wounds[/URL][/I]* [*][B]2nd level (3 slots)[/B]: [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/enhance-ability']enhance ability[/URL][/I], [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/misty-step/']misty step[/URL][/I]*, [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/moonbeam']moonbeam[/URL][/I], [I][URL='https://www.5esrd.com/database/spell/spike-growth']spike growth[/URL][/I] [/LIST] * Some pine kindred know spells from outside the druid's spell list (see [B][I][B]Dark Druidic Mysteries[/B][/I][/B] in [B][URL='https://enworld.org/index.php?posts/8463640']Pine Kindred[/URL][/B]).
