Circle of the Garden

While most druids choose to embrace nature as a whole or only the spiritual or beastly ways, this circle focuses on overseeing and assuring the flora wellbeing by being protectors of a reserve of nature, using their power and strength to do so.

sometimes these druids even choose to leave their primal and recluse ways to take care of the parks or gardens in cities, These last ones are seen with a really bad eye by the other druid or druid circles, believing that they have betrayed the “wild and free methods of nature” for the “imprisoning comforts of society”.

 

Magical Seeds

When you choose this Circle at 2 level, you gain the ability to magical transmute seeds into either a Writhing Vine, a Thorny Shrub, a Warden Bark, an Invigorating Moss or a Twisting Bramble seeds.

Plant Form

When you choose this Circle at 2 level, you can spend one use of your wild Shape feature to transform yourself into plant creatures that you have seen before.

Your druid level determines the plant you can transform into:

- At 2 level, you can transform into any plant that has a challenge rating of 1/2 or lower that does not have a flying or swimming speed,

- At 6 level, you can transform into any plant that has a challenge rating of 1 or lower that does not have a flying speed,

You can have only one familiar at a time, it doesn’t count against the number of magical plants you can grow, and the familiar created via this feature is considered a magical plant instead of the usual type of the summoned creature.

Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn, it cannot attack but can perform other actions normally, when the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it withers, leaving behind lifeless and/or rotten plant parts that composed its body.

The familiar understands one language that you know but cannot speak, additionally, as an action you can see through your familiar’s eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind regarding your own senses.

Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 30 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll.
