Circle of the Beast

An ancient primal form of magic that can't be learned through wanting it, but is gifted upon those raised in the wild who are deemed to need it. Only those truly in tune with the aspect of the wild are taken into Circle. Consisting of members from animalistic races and animals themselves, the Circle is completely devoted to the wild and life within it.

Primal Channeling

While in Primal Form:

You gain 10 ft movement speed and get claws (or tusks if you pick boar) that can be used as an unarmed attack to deal 1d6 + Wisdom slashing damage.

While in both Normal Form and Primal Form:

Gain the effects of Speak with Animals at all times.

Additionally you gain advantage on Perception and Investigation checks.

Normal Form

In the Character Builder, set the option for Primal Channeling to Normal Form to activate the bonuses for that form on the character sheet.

Primal Form

In the Character Builder, set the option for Primal Channeling to Primal Form to activate the bonuses for that form on the character sheet.

Primal Channeling Features

You can pick one beast and you stick with it.

Aspect of the Bear

You gain +1 AC, 8 Temporary Hit Points and resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing and Slashing from nonmagical attacks.

(Temporary Hit Points have to be added manually)

Aspect of the Boar

Charge - If you move 15 ft towards an enemy you  can replace one of your attacks with a charge attack (which also counts as an unarmed attack with its tusks for the benefit of magic weapons later on). This attack deals 1d6 slashing damage and forces the enemy to make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC, on a fail knocking them prone.

You can use the Shove action as a bonus action, using your spell save DC.

Aspect of the Tiger

Unseen Predator: Once per turn, you can deal an extra 1d6 damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you have advantage on the attack roll. The attack must be made unarmed or with natural weapons.

You don’t need advantage on the attack roll if another enemy of the target is within 5 feet of it, that enemy isn’t incapacitated, and you don’t have disadvantage on the attack roll.

You gain a 30 ft climbing and swimming speed.

Additionally you can take the Hide action as a bonus action.

Aspect of the Wolf

You can make an unarmed claw attack as a bonus action that deals 1d6 + Wisdom slashing damage.

Circle Spells

The bond to your animalistic upbringing infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. At 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to circle spells connected to the beasts you were raised by.

Once you gain access to a circle spell, 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.
