The Circle of the Brood Class for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5e)

Base Class: Druid

Circle of the Brood Druids are the self-proclaimed “beast masters” of the Druidic world, but let’s be real: they’re more like overzealous pet owners with a penchant for the bizarre. These Druids dedicate their lives to raising creatures that others wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole, nurturing their monsters like overgrown, scaly children. As they trudge through encounters, their beloved beasts evolve based on each ridiculous escapade—because nothing says “master of the wild” quite like a creature that’s a reflection of your questionable choices. Just pray their latest evolution isn’t a horrifying abomination.

But let’s face it: their obsession with these monstrous companions makes them about as socially adept as a rock. While you’re busy forging alliances and navigating the complexities of the world, they’re off talking to their lizard-frog hybrid about its latest growth spurt. And sure, when the chips are down, their creature might just be the terrifying force that turns the tide of battle. But you might also find yourself rolling your eyes as they obsess over the creature’s diet or get giddy over its latest “cute” feature—like a tail that can whip enemies into submission. Who needs friends when you have a glorified pet project, right?

Circle Spells

3rd-level Circle of the Brood feature

You have formed a bond with an elemental companion, a beast touched by the elemental plane with unlimited potential. Your link with the creature grants you access to some spells to help them grow when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Circle of the Brood Spells table.

Once you gain access to one of these spells, 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.

Druid Level	Spells
3rd	false life, find familiar, dragon's breath, enlarge/reduce
5th	conjure animals, fly
7th	charm monster, faithful hound
9th	awaken, summon dragon

Starter Companion

3rd-level Circle of the Brood feature

You can summon a beast that has been touched by the elemental plane. These creatures have limitless potential that allows them to grow and evolve with your adventures. When you gain this ability, you must choose between the planes of fire, water, air, or earth, which will determine your beast companion.

Air

Air beasts come in many forms, but typically take an unassuming form that disguises their power behind big eyes and a goofy grin. They typically look like a baby mammal, often a puppy or kitten, but some may appear as a bird or reptile. Their fur, scales, or feathers are charged with electricity often giving off a static shocks. Their master quickly becomes the most important thing in their world.

Earth

Beasts of the earth may appear to be made of dirt, stone, or plant matter and typically take the shape of shelled or armored creatures, such as a turtle, armadillo, or insect. Those with stone or earthen bodies may have limited sensation in their thick outer hide, while those made of plants often emit a sickly-sweet smell comprised of mildly poisonous spores. They tend to be strong, resilient, and quiet, often making them come across as aloof. They are extremely loyal to their partners and make excellent guardians.

Fire

Fire beasts come in many forms, with some appearing similar to a small, fuzzy bear cub and others manifesting as a scaly crimson lizard. Their bodies are hot to the touch and often have areas wreathed in flame. Regardless of their appearance, fire beasts tend to be clever and powerful. They may have difficulty connecting as their bodies make physical interactions challenging, but tend to form deep bonds with those who put in the time.

Water

Beasts of water and ice often take the form of amphibious creatures or spawn as amorphous slug or ooze-like beings. Their bodies are largely liquid, so they may struggle to hold a solid shape. These creatures are fast and flexible, adapting to whatever the situation demands. They form bonds quickly with their partners and tend to be friendly with new people.

Elemental Companion

3rd-level Circle of the Brood feature

You can summon a beast that has been touched by the elemental plane. These creatures have limitless potential that allows them to grow and evolve with your adventures. As an action, you can expend one use of your Wild Shape feature to summon your Elemental Companion, rather than assuming a beast form. The beast appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you.

The spirit is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. See this creature’s game statistics in the Elemental Companion stat blocks, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the spirit’s appearance. Some closely resemble a traditional beast, while others lean more into their elemental nature.

In combat, the beast shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The beast manifests until your next short rest, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the beast again, or until you die.

The Power of Friendship

14th-level Circle of the Brood feature

The bonds of friendship are the mightiest force in the universe and no one is closer than you and your fuzzy, feathered, scaly, or slimy companions. The bond between you and your companion has manifested physically in the form of a familiar (as if by the find familiar spell), but is an elemental rather than a fey, fiend, or celestial. You can summon your familiar whenever you summon your Elemental Companion (no action required). If your familiar is destroyed, you can cast the find familiar spell or expend a use of wild shape to resummon them.

Choose the bond that best describes your companion and your bond with them: Partner, Bringer of Death, Light of your Life, Meat Shield, Sweet Little Baby, and Toxic Relationship. Partners are like another member of the party and tend to be excellent communicators who can help setup complex maneuvers, while you can't be sure if Bringers of Death actually like you or use you as a convenient way to find worthy foes, so they have a way of making sure your attacks stick. Companions who are the Light of your Life mean more to you than anyone else in your party and tend to be the spotlight of every battle, while Meat Shields are often lovable, but simple and know their role in battle is preventing the enemy from getting close to you. Sweet Little Babies have gentle hearts and tend to stay away from the conflict, while Toxic Relationships are bad for all involved, but at least that includes your enemies too! They'll help you take down your enemies, but beware of friendly fire.

Bringer of Death (Rothound)

You can't tell if your companion and familiar actually like you or think of you as a convenient way to find worthy foes. Your new familiar is a Rothound with the ability to inflict foes with rot, preventing them from healing. They tend to be ugly creatures that are built for war.
