Primeval Knight

The Primeval Knight fighter follow an ancient tradition rooted in powerful druidic magic. These fighters learn to become one with nature, allowing them to channel the aspects of various beasts and plants in order to overcome their foes. These fighters dwell in the elder forests of the world. They venture out only rarely, as they consider it their sacred duty to protect the druidic groves and ancient trees that saw the earliest days of the world.

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you augment your martial prowess with the ability to cast spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the wizard spell list.

Cantrips

You learn two cantrips of your choice from the druid spell list. You learn an additional druid cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Spell Slots

The Primeval Knight Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your druid spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher

You know three 1st-level druid spells of your choice.

The Spells Known column of the Primeval Knight Spellcasting table shows when you learn more druid spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the druid spells you know with another spell of your choice from the druid spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells, since you learn your spells through primal magic. You use your wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Primeval Soul

Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to temporarily grow and take on the appearance of a treelike person, covered with leaves and bark. As a bonus action, you assume this primeval form, which lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action or until you are incapacitated.

You undergo the following changes while in your primeval form:

• Your size becomes Large, unless you were larger.

• Any speed you have becomes 5 feet, unless the speed was lower.

• Your reach increases by 5 feet.

• You gain a number of temporary hit points at the start of each of your turns. The number equals half your fighter level. When the form ends, you lose any temporary hit points you have from it.

Sapping Thorns

At 7th level, your command of primal magic allows you to enhance your attacks with thorns and sap that creatures vitality. Once during each of your turns, you can deal an additional 1d6 piercing damage to one creature you hit with a weapon attack, and you regain hit points equal to the piercing damage dealt.

Ancient Fortitude

At 10th level, you gain the endurance of the ancient forests. Your hit point maximum and current hit points increase by 2 per fighter level when you assume your primeval form. This increase lasts until you leave the form; your hit point maximum then returns to normal, but your current hit points remain the same, unless they must decrease to abide by your hit point maximum

Primeval Aura

Starting at 15th level, your primeval form emanates a magical aura that fortifies your injured allies. When any ally starts their turn within 30 feet of your primeval form, that ally regains a number of hit points equal to half your fighter level. This aura has no effect on a creature that has half or more of its hit points, and it has no effect on undead and constructs.

Improved Sapping Thorns

Starting at 18th level, your Sapping Thorns feature deals an additional 2d6 piercing damage and while you are in your primeval form, the ground within 30 feet of you is difficult terrain for your enemies.
