Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mirrorrorrim" data-source="post: 9022347" data-attributes="member: 7040132">This would never happen, but I would be interested in Circle of the Moon Druid being more lunar in theme, rather than "Moon" being all about Wildshaping. Base Wildshape is not lycanthropy in any way shape of form, it has nothing to do with the moon. I would break the "Wildshape" out into its own Circle of the Beast subclass which takes what the Circle of the Moon was.Here is a Druid design idea. The Base Druid is a Nature Priest (not a combat wildshaper, but a full-spellcaster with some cool Channel Nature abilities.)Level 1: SpellcastingLevel 1: Druidic LanguageLevel 1: Channel Nature PBx/day. 2 Channel Nature Options:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Healing Blossoms. like the playtest, but grant a scaling 1d8 healing per PB.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Elemental Strike. For 1 minute, you imbue your attacks with a natural element of your choice. Once per your turn, when you attack and hit an enemy with a weapon, bestial strike, or a spell, you deal +1d6 extra damage of the chosen type.</li> </ul>Level 2: Critter Friend:  Can speak with animals (similar to a gnome). Also, 2 Channel Nature Options:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Critter Wildshape. (Non-combat form) Lasts 1 hour. Can pick Climb, Fly, or Swim speed when used.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Wild Companion. A Find Familiar Critter pet. Druids love animals and primal spirits so why not have a beast spirit pet? The spirit can also be that of a now-dead animal that they knew in life.</li> </ul>Level 3 Subclass Ability: Circle of the Beast - Combat Wildshape. Stat Block-based but lots of shape-based abilities to choose from.Level 4: FeatLevel 5: Call Lightning. This 3rd level (now) Druid-only spell is always prepared for you. Updated Spell. It doesn't use concentration anymore.Level 6 Subclass Ability: Might of the Wilds. (Which unlocks all the updated stat blocks of Might of the Land, Aquatic Form, and Aerial Form. Much simpler to track what/when you can do stuff. Flying arrives at this level too.)Level 7: Anyone have any cool ideas?Level 8: FeatLevel 9: Commune With Nature. This (now) Druid-only spell is always prepared for you. You can cast it once without a spell slot. Updated Spell: You can choose a number of facts (bullet points) equal to your PB (you get them all at L17).Level 10: Subclass Ability: Master of Many Forms. <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Alternate Forms (As playtest.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Thousand Forms (Always have Alter Self prepared and can cast without spell slot.)</li> </ul>Level 11: Transport Via Plants. This 6th level (now) Druid-only spell is always prepared for you.  Level 12: FeatLevel 14: Subclass Ability: Beast Spells. (As playtest).Level 15: Anyone have any cool ideas?Level 16: FeatLevel 17: Nature Mastery: When you Channel Nature, you get 2 Channel Nature effects from those you know at the same time. They must be different. (Can be used with Channel Nature options from Subclasses too.)Level 18: Archdruid. (As playtest.)Level 19: FeatLevel 20: Epic BoonCircle of the Moon - (Fill in the blanks. What is something cool that would honor the Lunar Cycle theme? Lycanthropy-adjacent? Lunar Magic?)Level 3 Subclass Ability: Level 6 Subclass Ability: Level 10: Subclass Ability: Level 14: Subclass Ability: </blockquote>
