Druids of an enterprising or charismatic nature may utilise or exploit their unique affinity with the natural world for the purposes of entertainment. Individuals with a flair for the dramatic, or courageous sorts who dare to tangle and tame the fiercest of Nature's children find themselves at home amongst the sideshows and circuses that exist on the fringe of society. Disciples of the Circle of the Ringmaster excel at coaxing feral beasts, keeping the attention of an enraptured audience and fooling unsuspecting minds into believing their daring deeds. Their exploitation of the gifts bestowed by nature have seemingly restricted their composure and focus when shapeshifting, often creating wild and exotic results.

Bonus Cantrip

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you learn one additional druid cantrip of your choice. This cantrip doesn’t count against the number of druid cantrips you know.

Exotic Performance

At 2nd level, the Druid hones their ability to enthrall unsuspecting minds with images of daring feats and a silver tongue. The Druid gains proficiency in the Perform skill and gains the spell 'Minor Illusion' as a bonus cantrip.

Circle Spells

Your mystical connection to the land infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to circle spells connected to the land where you became a druid. Choose that land — arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, or Underdark — and consult the associated list of spells.

Once you gain access to a circle spell, 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.
