Base Class: Druid
Circle of the Clouds druids have a reputation for being enigmatic and taciturn, only socializing with nature; they love silence, and spend much of their time in isolation. Yet behind these stereotypes, there is an enduring compassion and tireless diligence common to the circle. They see the wind and air as the breath of the world, and this is where their love of quiet comes from: listening, remaining close, wanting to see the land breathe in peace.
The work of the Circle of the Clouds is scholarly, almost clinical. They have great memories of their work and the lands they watch, and sometimes even have written records to go along with their oral traditions. In a way, they are doctors, healing nature and with nature. This is not to say that they are all spindly, reclusive hermits: they are still wild at heart, and can reignite the animal spirits of others to lead them to greatness.
Windfall
The lore of the Circle of the Clouds lets the Gust cantrip come naturally to you.
Second Wind
Your touch can heal wounds. You have a reserve of soothing primal power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to the hit die of a creature you can transform into with Wild Shape × your Wisdom modifier. You gain the ability to use your Wild Shape feature one extra time per day, but only if one of the uses was for this feature.
As an action, you can touch a creature and draw power from your Wild Shape transformation to restore a number of hit points to that creature, equal to the hit die of a single creature you can transform into with Wild Shape × your Wisdom modifier. This counts as a use of your Wild Shape feature.
Alternatively, you can expend a Second Wind to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it.
This feature has no effect on undead and constructs.
Cloud Shapes
Your mystical connection to the winds and clouds 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 lore of the Circle of the Clouds.
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.

Wind’s Stride
Starting at 6th level, moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through nonmagical winds and storms without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have hail, airborne debris, or a similar hazard.
In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against winds that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such those created by the Gust of Wind spell.
Whispering Winds
The winds and primal spirits near you are always on watch, alerting you to the presence of outsiders and protecting you the chaotic noises they generate- you can’t be Surprised or deafened by elementals or aberrations. The deep connection to nature the bond with the winds and primal spirits comes from also makes you immune to poison and disease.
Healing Rain
When outdoors and it is raining, you can call forth a healing rain from the clouds. With an action, within 100 feet of you or inside the area of the rain(whichever is smaller), each plant and creature exposed to the rain is cured of one disease or poison affecting them at the start of their turn; at the end of their turn, they regain hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier. By expending a use of your Wild Shape, creatures in the rain also have one curse removed from them at the start of their turn, or recover your proficiency extra hit points at the end of their turn. These effects last for 1 minute or the duration of the rain, whichever is shorter. You can only use this feature once after a long rest.
