Circle of the Rotting Corpse

Decay is part of the natural order of life. Druids that follow the rotting corpse embrace the dead and dying to protect the rest of life.

Circle Spells

level 2 Circle of the Rotting Corpse feature
You have embraced the touch of death. Your link with this aspect of nature grants you access to some spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of the Rotting Corpse 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.

(due to dnd beyond set up youll need to create a feat to add the other spells to your character)
