D&D 5E The Circle of Steel, When Druids Take a Dark Turn

Herosmith14

First Post
Hey guys, I just finished building up the Circle of Steel. I had a little more trouble coming up with abilities for this subclass than my last one, The Oath of the Mage, partly because druid circles don't fall into as much of a basic pattern as paladin oaths. That being said, I think I have something decent here, but I'll let you guys be the judge of that.

My inspiration for this subclass came from a book my friend told me about (haven't read it yet) called "The Iron Druid," and the Dagda Mor from the Shannara Chronicles. My goals for this subclass were;
  • Make it a balanced
  • Don't step on the toes of other classes or feats (might of broken that one a bit with Iron Smite :L)
  • Encourage good old melee combat instead of spell casting or wild shape usage
  • Give it it's own, dark flavor

That on the table, here is the the Circle of Steel(alternate link)

Not bad.

Nothing fancy, but I can easily see the Warforged quasi-society in the Eberron Mournland developing something like this.
