The druid’s grove is a symbol of nature’s beauty and power, creating one or more of the following effects at the GM’s discretion.
Demesne Effects
- Local birds and mammals in the druid’s demesne can speak Common and Elven. They enjoy talking to new people but will try to find and warn the druid if suspicious strangers enter the demesne.
- Nuts, fruits, and vegetables grown naturally (i.e., not farmed or cultivated) in the druid’s demesne grant those who eat them the effect of goodberry. If taken outside the demesne, they lose this effect.
- No roads or trails in the druid’s demesne last more than a day. However, allies and the units of allies can pass through the demesne as though there were roads.
Stronghold Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the druid can take a stronghold action to cause one of the following effects. The druid must be in the same hex or province as their stronghold, and can’t use the same effect again until after a short or long rest.
- Grasping vines rise from the ground for 1 minute. Every enemy within 60 feet must make a Dexterity saving throw or be restrained for the duration, taking 3d8 piercing damage at the start of each of their turns from stabbing thorns. At the end of its turn, an affected enemy can make another saving throw to escape.
- You cast banishment on an enemy, sending them to Arcadia on a failed save.
- You summon 1d4 + 1 shambling mounds who fight for you for 1 minute.
Class Feature Improvement: Savage Shape
When you assume your Wild Shape, you may assume the form of any monstrosity, fey, or dragon, including those with a flying or swimming speed. You may use this ability to transform into a creature with a Challenge Rating up to half your level, rounded up. All other Wild Shape restrictions and benefits apply (including using all of the form’s actions and abilities except lair and legendary actions). You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, after which you must take a long rest to refresh this ability.
