Circle of the Ooze

Druids of the Circle of Ooze embrace decay as a vital force of nature. By forming a symbiotic bond with sentient slimes, they gain the power to dissolve, adapt, and endure—embodying the balance between life’s creation and its inevitable return to formlessness. These druids study dissolution not as destruction, but as revelation, breaking down living forms to uncover the pure essence that lies beneath all things.

Circle Spells

2nd-level Circle of Ooze feature

Your symbiotic bond grants you access to unique spells that reflect your ooze’s dissolving and adaptive nature.

At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Circle of Ooze 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.

Pseudopod Lash

3rd-level Circle of Ooze feature

While in your Ooze Symbiosis, you can attack using a whip-like pseudopod of slime.

When you take the Attack action, you can instead make a melee spell attack against a creature within 10 feet of you. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier acid damage, and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be restrained until the start of your next turn.

The damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

Ooze Symbiosis

3rd-level Circle of Ooze feature

You gain the ability to call upon your symbiotic ooze living within you to bolster your form. As a bonus action you can expend one use of your Wild Shape feature to merge with your symbiotic ooze for 10 minutes.

While merged, your body liquefies and ripples with alien fluidity. You gain the following benefits:

• You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.(this resistance doesn't stack with other forms of resistance)
• You can move through spaces as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
• When a creature within 10 feet of you deals damage to you, you can use your reaction to release a burst of acid. That creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking acid damage equal to half the damage you took (rounded down) on a failed save.

These benefits last for 10 minutes, or until you use your Wild Shape again. 

Adaptive Membrane

6th Level – Circle of Ooze Features

Adaptive Membrane

At 6th level, your symbiotic ooze refines into a living membrane that continuously shifts to absorb impacts and magical energy. While your Ooze Symbiosis is active, you gain the following benefits:

Protective Coating. You gain a +2 bonus to AC and to all saving throws.

Absorb Magic. When you succeed on a saving throw against a spell or magical effect, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1).

Digestive Feedback. When you hit a creature with your Pseudopod Lash, you regain hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1).

Extended Lash. The range of your Pseudopod Lash increases to 30 feet, and you can target a second creature within 5 feet of the first target with a separate attack roll.

The ooze hardens and ripples like liquid armor, glowing faintly as it feeds on every source of energy.

Amorphous Vitality

10th-level Circle of Ooze feature

Your symbiote has fully integrated with your body, replacing your mortal limitations with fluid resilience.

You gain the following benefits:

You no longer need to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep, though you can still rest to regain spell slots.

You gain blindsight out to 20 feet.

You are immune to poison and acid.

You are now one with the primordial fluid of life and decay—a consciousness suspended in shapeless matter.

Perfect Symbiosis

14th level Cricle of Ooze Druid Feature 

Perfect Symbiosis

Your union with your symbiote has reached perfection, your form now an ever-shifting tide of acid and awareness.

While your Ooze Symbiosis is active, you gain the following benefits:

Corrosive Aura. At the start of each of your turns, each creature of your choice within 10 feet of you takes acid damage equal to your druid level + your proficiency bonus.

Amorphous Regeneration. If you start your turn with fewer than half your hit points and aren’t taking fire or radiant damage, you regain hit points equal to your druid level + your proficiency bonus.

Your body becomes a living tide of dissolution and renewal—radiant, alien, and eternal.
