Druid Circle Of The Garden

The Circle Of The Garden is one of peace and nurturing, and a deep respect for plant life. These druids learn how to grow the tallest trees, the sweetest flowers, and the most potent herbs. It’s through their love of the flora and fauna that fuels their powers, having their sprouting allies form themselves into help for them and their other- less green- friends. 
Their gardens with them, a Garden Circle Druid is always on the lookout for new additions and herbal discoveries.

Green Thumb

Starting at 2nd level, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check made with an herbalism kit. Additionally, you may add your Wisdom modifier to any Intelligence (Nature) checks you make.

Forest Herald

Additionally at 2nd level, instead of taking a shape of a beast using wild shape, you may create a Grove at a point you can see within 30ft of you that has solid ground. The Groves size equals 5ft x your Druid level. Your Grove is treated as rough terrain to creatures you choose, and is treated as Half-Cover for you and you only. The grove sprouts tall grass, bushes, small trees too small to provide effective height, and a plethora of flowers where it is chosen. You may reflavor your Grove to whatever you please, the only constant is it must have a change in the environment. The Grove is unable to be burned or destroyed, if anything such as a tree or small boulder spawned by the Grove is destroyed, it reappears after a small period. The Grove is magical and you can use any of your features that say they are in your Grove inside it. After 10 minutes, or if you choose to create a new Grove, the benefits you gain from this Grove disappear, and your previous Grove is not treated as a Grove itself.

When you choose this subclass select 1 features from this list, this feature applies to your Grove when you create one. You may choose an additional one when you reach 10th level.

Hardy Crops

If you create a Grove in direct light, you gain additional temporary hit points the first time you enter the Grove equal to twice your proficiency bonus (minimum 4). These bonus temporary hit points will last for only the duration of your Grove, but will carry on even if the light covering your Grove is obscured.

 

Magic Leaves

While your Grove is active, any natural weapons or weapons you and your allies possess are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances while in the Grove.

Overgrown

Once per short rest, when you make a Grove, you can choose to overgrow. While overgrown, any healing & damage you do while in the Grove has a bonus equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).

Pollination

Twice per long rest while in your Grove, as an action you can release a aura of pollen, if you do so, you expend up to 2 hit dice. All creatures within 20ft of you in the Grove of are healed for the amount you rolled, this counts as healing for the purposes of the Overgrown feature.

Natures Troops

Starting at 3rd level, as an action you may summon the legions of nature. You conjure 2d4 + your Wisdom Modifier Awakened Shrubs, each placed somewhere within 30ft of you. These Shrubs can only take the Dodge, Help, Hide, and Search actions. You can command up to half (rounded down) of the Shrubs as a bonus action, or all of them as an action. The Shrubs share your Initiative count, but take their turn immediately after yours (during the Shrubs turn you may choose which go first or last). If a Shrub has no command to fulfill, the Shrub takes the Dodge action. The Shrubs last up to 10 hours, after which they will start to wilt- or if one is available, move to the nearest forest if one is nearby, where it will happily live the rest of it’s days.

While in the nearby presence of their summoner the Shrubs are cooperative, cheerful, and a bright green. But while away from their summoner or a forest environment, their green color dulls and they seem less pip. The Shrubs Armor Class increases to 12 at 6th level, 15 at 10th level, 18 at 13th level, and 20 at 18th level. 

You can only use this feature once per long rest.

Plant Sculptor

At 6th level, you gain the ability to encourage a plant to grow. Over the course of a minute a plant you touch as an action begins to double in size, and can be shaped and grown in specific ways of your choice during this period. (IE; a branch of the oak tree grows in a path upward towards the castle window.) You can use this feature a number of times per long rest equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Verdant Expanse

At 10th level your Grove allows you to collectively force nature upon multiple creatures. When you target creature other than yourself with a spell and you and the target are in the Grove, you can expand the spells reach. When you cast the spell, you can expend an additional spell slot of the same level you cast the spell at, then a number of creatures within 30ft of the original target that are in the Grove up to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1) are subjected to the effects of the spell.

Additionally, all the aspects of your Grove become more potent:

Hardy Crops. While inside your Grove, your Ac increases by 1.

Magic Leaves. Creatures subtract your Wisdom modifier from Saving Throws against your Spells, Harvests, or similar effects.

Overgrown. Your bonus also applies to your Skill Checks and any Saving Throws you are not proficient in.

Pollination. The maximum number of times per long rest you can use this feature becomes 3. Additionally, once per long rest, when you use your Pollination feature, you can choose to give you and a number of creatures affected by this equal to your Proficiency Bonus the benefits of a short rest.

Green Guardian

Starting at 14th level, you can call upon the forces of the environment to answer your call, turning you into a herald of nature itself. You place a Grove centered on yourself, and turn into a mystical tree. Your grove grows taller trees (about 30ft high) capable of being climbed, taller grass, and an uncountable amount of foliage. Your Grove becomes you, and you become the Grove; while in this state you can not move, and gain the following benefits.

Royalty Of The Forest. Your total hit points equals your normal hit points + half of your maximum.

Ironwood. Your Ac becomes 17. You gain resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and vulnerability to magical fire damage.

Gnarled Vines. The area in the Grove is considered lightly obscured to creatures of your choice.

Wrath Of The Sacred. You can cast the Wrath Of Nature spell at it's lowest level at will as long as it's within your Grove.

Harvest List

Upon summoning a Grove, you can create Harvests. These Harvests are summoned at points in your Grove of your choice, and you can summon a number of Harvests per Grove equal to your Proficiency Bonus (this counts against the Harvest's themselves, not the number of the plant a Harvest summons). You can summon a Harvest as a bonus action, and can immediately summon 1 when you create a Grove, at level 2 you know how to summon 2 Harvests of your choice, and learn an additional one at the 5th, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th levels. Saving Throws made against creatures with Harvests use your Spell Save Dc. You can choose if you want a Harvest to not affect a creature. You can choose to Obscure a harvest upon it's summon, or if it isn't in any hostile creatures line of sight, making it require a creature to make an Investigation check against your Spell Save Dc to notice the presence of it.

A creature of your choice within 15ft of the Cinderpetal must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 2d8 poison damage on a failed save, and half as much on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d8 at 4th level, 4d8 at 8th level, and 5d8 at 12th level. When a CInderpetal uses this attack it loses its magical properties.

Claymore Mushroom

A dull grey Cremini Mushroom, none would assume it holds spores with explosive power capable of blowing the common folk to scorching ash, too bad the only visible difference would be the red strobing beneath it’s brim. You summon up to 2 Claymore Mushrooms in unoccupied spaces you choose in your Grove. A creature that walks in the same space as a Claymore must succeed a Dexterity Saving Throw or take 3d4 fire damage as the small mushroom explodes, or half as much on a successful save.

The Orchid has the same stat block as a Brass Dragon Wyrmling, except it has a speed of 0. And attacks any creature hostile to you that it can see in range. When you summon the Drake Orchid choose a damage type from fire, lightning, poison, acid, thunder, or cold damage.
