Base Class: Druid
Prerequisites: This is a Prestige subclass that must be earned in game or taken by a Druid who has previously reached at level 20. You must have more levels in this than any other class and cannot multiclass into another prestige class.
Most druids use their connection to nature to transform into various fauna. Those in the Circle of Roses focus instead on their connection to plant life and suffuse their bodies with various seeds. They channel their energy into these seeds, causing flowers to bloom and other plants to spread across your body. These druids can further empower the petals from these flowers to create powerful armor or swarms of razor-sharp blades that can strike at a distance.
Their power is respected and feared by other druid circles. They are mission-oriented, typically dedicating their life to a single cause. The Circle of Roses are heavily focused on combat and often serve as imposing guardians of natural wonders or even other druid villages. The flexibility of their plant-infused bodies can make them to switch between being nigh-indestructible and incredibly deadly. Unlike many other druids, members of the Circle of Roses have no objection to wearing metal armor as they prioritize the success of their mission above all else.

Floret Form
You gain the ability to channel magic into the seeds within you, causing flowers to blossom and other plants (of your choice) to spread across your body. The flowers can shed their petals, which you can make as strong as steel or as sharp as a blade.
As a Bonus Action, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature to awaken those seeds, rather than transforming into a Beast Form, to transform into your Floret Form and you gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to 10 times your Proficiency Bonus. When you activate this feature and at the start of each of your subsequent turns while this feature is active, you can choose one of the follow benefits:
- Rose Armor: While not wearing Heavy Armor, you can increase your AC by an amount equal to your Proficiency Bonus. This effect lasts until the start of your next turn.
- Distant Thorns: You can increase the range of your melee weapon and spell attacks to 30 feet.
- Petal Blades: Once per turn, you may deal additional Slashing or Poison damage (your choice) to any target you hit (no action required). This damage is a number of d6 equal to your Proficiency Bonus.
These benefits last for 10 minutes, until you lose all these Temporary Hit Points, or until you use your Wild Shape again.
