[QUOTE="Acr0ssTh3P0nd, post: 6818551, member: 6762652"] So yeah, just wanted to get some feedback on this nightmare-fuelled mess. Also, have a [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j18e_ID-DpA"]bonus clip of the Turbo-Teen opening song[/URL]. It's related, trust me. [SIZE=5]Circle of Machination[/SIZE] To say that members of the Circle of Machination are unusual for druids would be a vast understatement. Unlike the majority of druidic circles, who at best are merely tolerant of civilization, the Circle of Machination views civilization - and specifically the technology that springs from it - as another aspect of "survival of the fittest". Machination druids live in cities, promoting justice and balance from behind the scenes, ensuring that over-foresting and over-hunting do not occur in order to provide future generations with enough resources to thrive. In addition to the basic wild shapes of all druids, Machination druids can transform themselves into common crafted items. In order to maintain a low profile, they often transform into objects that most people would not think twice if they saw them moving about the city. Wagons, chariots, and carts are all commonly used forms; druids that work in water-based settlements might also take on the appearance of boats or rafts. [SIZE=3]Object Forms[/SIZE] The traditions of your circle grant you the ability to transform into animated versions of common technological works. Starting at 2nd level, you can use your wild shape to transform into an animated object of medium size or smaller.
