Circle of Chimera (2024)

You're studies of life have granted you the ability to half transform into creatures, gaining some of there abilities whilst still having all the benefits of your base race.

Chimera Forms

You can expend a use of wild shape to transform into a Chimera form for a number of hours equal to half your druid level. Choose one form and  gain the following benefits:

 

Form of Kraken Each of your arms split apart into 2 tentacles. You gain a climb speed equal to your walking speed and you have 4 hands for the purposes of equipping items. You need 2 tentacles to be free to do the somatic components of spells. Additionally you can treat any weapon that isn't heavy or two-handed as though it has the light property

Form of Phoenix Fiery wings sprout from your back. You gain a fly speed of 40ft and any attacker that hits you with a melee attack takes fire damage equal to your wisdom modifier.

Form of Siren You gain a swim speed of 60ft and you can breathe underwater. You also have advantage on saving throws against being charmed.

Form of World Turtle A large shell hardens around your back that molds with the terrain around you. You gain advantage on stealth checks as your shell blends in with its environment and your AC increases by 2.

 

Your Chimera form ends early if you:

• wildshape
• use another Chimera form
• are transformed by a spell like polymorph

You also cannot use this feature if you are already wildshaped as another creature.
