Circle of Taming

The Druids of the Circle of Taming are the most avid animal tamers on the planet, with their specialized magic items they are able to form unbreakable connections with their tamed animals. Their abilities are centered on forming connections with animals and making them more powerful.

Capture Cubes

You can target any creature with an Intelligence score of 5 or lower and a challenge rating equal to 1/3 of your Druid level rounded down and cause them to make a Charisma saving throw, on a failed save the creature is trapped within the cube and is charmed by you indefinitely. Creatures that are Incapacitated, Paralyzed, Unconscious, Petrified, Stunned, or below half of their hotpoint maximum have disadvantage on their saving throw. Creatures captured in the cube are unable to see, smell, or otherwise sense any information from the outside world and sit in a rejuvenating, dreamless sleep. Creatures that spend 8 hours in the cube gain the benefits of a long-rest and will gain the benefits of a short rest after spending 1 hour inside the cube. You can release a creature from the cube for up to 12 hours at a time with an action before the enchantment weakens and it can make another attempt at the saving throw. A creature that is charmed in this way will obey any simple commands you give them to the best of their abilities.

In combat, the captured creatures take their turns immediately after you and will take the actions you verbally command of them using your Bonus Action. You can command them to use any of the actions on their stat block or will use the Disengage action if you do not give them an order. You can capture a number of creatures equal to 1 plus your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 2) but can only have one of them outside of their cube at a time.
