Base Class: Druid
Some Druidic circles focus on the ancient power of the material plane of Dragons. Bordering the liminal space of magical and natural creatures, joining this circle will make you a catalyst of both worlds.
Combat Wild Shape
When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain the ability to use Wild Shape on your turn as a bonus action, rather than as an action.
Additionally, while you are transformed by Wild Shape, you can use a bonus action to expend one spell slot to regain 1d8 hit points per level of the spell slot expended.
Circle Forms
The rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform into more dangerous forms. Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Wild Shape to transform into a beast with a challenge rating as high as 1 (you ignore the Max CR column of the Beast Shapes table, but must abide by the other limitations there). When you transform in this way, you may add the Draconic subrace template to your beast form.
Starting at 6th level, you can transform into a beast or dragon with a challenge rating as high as your druid level divided by 3, rounded down. The Draconic template can only be applied to creatures with the Beast subtype, and if the dragon you become has a flying speed, you cannot use that feature until 8th level.
Breath Weapon Expertise
At 6th level, you learn to control the breath attacks of your Dragon forms. Your attacks in Dragon form count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. In addition, when you roll a d6 to recharge your breath weapon you can roll twice and use either result. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Dragon Body
At 14th level, your material form attunes to the Dragon forms you control. You gain blindsight up to 30ft and darkvision of 60ft. Furthermore, you can expend two Wild Shape uses to transform into a Dragon with a CR equal to half your Druid level instead of one third of it. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again
until you finish a long rest.
Empowered Breath Attack
At 10th level, when you deal damage with your breath attack in Dragon form, you may expend a spell slot to deal 2d8 extra damage per level of the spell slot. This damage is of the same damage type as the breath attack.

Posted Mar 31, 2021I was a bit unclear too. I meant a new version. Sorry for the lack of clarity. I hope none of these comments are annoying or troublesome. Just happy I can help out my favorite content creators. I'll stop if these are causing problems, just mention it.

Posted Mar 29, 2021Oof, looks like you caught a lot of issues with this one. Thank you so much for bringing it to our attention! Unfortunately, I can't change the existing subclass due to D&D Beyond's rules regarding modifying homebrew, but I can make an updated version.
As far as Dragon Body goes, that was a bit unclear, but what we meant to say was that you, as a normal, un-wild-shaped druid gain the blindsight and darkvision benefits, as well as the ability to to use two uses of Wild shape to become a dragon. We will add the time limits and other restrictions to the wild shape portion of the feature.
As for the template, as I cannot add it to the actual subclass, I'll post the features here:
Ability Score Increase
Your Charisma or Constitution score increases by 1 (or 2, if your normal subraces would grant such an increase).
Draconic Heritage
The color of your dragonborn ancestor or the dragon who cursed, blessed, or bestowed the Dragon Rite on you determines your spellcasting and resistance. You can cast the first level spell once per short or long rest, and Charisma is your spellcasting ability for both spells. If you are a dragonborn, your element matches this.

Posted Mar 28, 2021Add the template at the end of this subclass. In addition, the empowered breath attack and dragon body are out of order. Also, it mentions the beast subtype which is non-existent due to it being a base type. It also is unclear if dragon body allows you to transform into a dragon or into a creature with the dragon template and lacks a time specification or any specifications for that matter; just change it to "Furthermore, you can expend two Wild Shape uses to transform into a Dragon with a CR equal to half your Druid level instead of one third of it. This follows the same restrictions as Wild Shape and can be affected by the healing effect of Combat Wild Shape. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again
until you finish a long rest."
Anyway, I hope this was able to help, if there is anything wrong with these suggestions, please let me know, and I should be able to fix them!
