[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6898885, member: 92511"] Circle of the Spirit, agreed on both name and concept. The Shaman class. Interestingly, I wrote up a shaman based on the Warlock (Patron: Spirit World) as well as one for the Druid. I think I liked the flavor of the warlock-base better, but the Shaman is, in almost all cases, obviously a druid archetype/subclass. Circle of the Beast is a cool idea/name, but I wouldn't make it so much ABOUT the animal companion. They could certainly HAVE/gain one as a feature. But I think it should be more about the animal [I]kingdom[/I] than specifically animal [I]companion[/I]: talking to, summoning, bolstering and protecting with magic (of course), and/or commanding. And thinking along the lines of what Jester Canuck brought up above, and running parallel to the Beast Circle, I'd do a Circle of the Green for the same style of druid but with plants/fungi/vegetation. That would round out Druid options for me nicely, I think. Terrain-specific master/caster, Beast-master, Plant-master, Spirit-master/animist, and <rolls eyes> "Wildshaper." A Circle of the Night [or some such] for the evil/mad/exiled Blight-Decay-Unbalanced Druid option...I'd put it in as an NPC option, myself. But some folks like that sorta thing for PCs. [/QUOTE]
