Druid
Base Class: Druid

Druids of the Circle of the Garden cultivate a cornucopia of cleansing crops to cast down creeps, crawlers, and other curmudgeonly creations.

Circle Spells

At 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Circle of the Garden Spells table. Once you gain access to one of these spells, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you gain access to a spell that doesn’t appear on the druid spell list, the spell is nonetheless a druid spell for you.

Some of these spells  are not available due to licensing of their material. For a workaround, see the feat "DNDBeyond Won't Let Me Have Illegal Spell Lists."

Circle of the Garden Spells

Druid Level Circle Spells
2nd alarm, sanctuary
3rd Maximillian’s earthen grasp , spike growth
5th plant growth, speak with plants
7th Evard’s black tentacles (appear as vines), grasping vine
9th hallow, wrath of nature

Seed Selection

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to create semi-sentient plants to assist in fending off foes. As a bonus action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape to designate the area in a radius of 30 feet around yourself as your Garden, instead of transforming into a beast. This Garden lasts for 1 hour, or until you create another Garden, after which it disappears.

Of course, a garden is of no use without plants to fill it with. You have the seeds of three of the following Plants. When you create your Garden and as a bonus action afterwards, you can place one of your owned Plants within your Garden. These Plants are loyal to you even to the point of death, follow your commands, and act at the end of each of your turns (no action required).

When you place a Plant, you can expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to place an additional Plant for each level of the spell slot expended. However, you can only control a number of plants equal to your proficiency bonus. If you attempt to create additional plants beyond this limit, the oldest one(s) will die. You can also choose to dig up a Plant, causing it to immediately disappear from your Garden (no action required).

When your Garden disappears, so do any Plants within it.

When you take a long rest, you can replace one of your owned Plants with another one.

The statblocks for each of these Plants are listed at the end of the document, and use your Druid save DC and proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

While swallowed, a creature is blinded and restrained, has total cover from attacks and effects outside the Chomper, and takes 1d8 acid damage at the start of each of the Chomper’s turns.
