Circle of the Small

The Circle of the Small are the druids who look out for the little guys. They tend to spend their time with insects and arachnids. They ignore threats to the balance of nature as a whole, instead choosing to focus on the smaller local scale. However, when something cataclysmic threatens their small world, they show that the size of a creature is not indicative of its power.

Friends in Small Places

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you can communicate simple concepts to tiny insects and arachnids with a challenge rating of zero. They will follow simple commands so long as they are not directly harmful to themselves.

Insectoid Form

Starting at 2nd level, you can join the world of the small without expending energy. As an action, you can activate your Wild Shape feature to transform into an insect or an arachnid with a CR of zero at will. 

Small Friendship

Starting at 3rd level, when you cast the spell Animal Friendship on a tiny beast, it automatically fails its saving throw.

Fly on the Wall

Starting at 6th level, you learn a new way to cast the clairvoyance spell. You can now cast the clairvoyance spell without expending a spell slot. Instead of conjuring an invisible spherical sensor, you summon a tiny insect or arachnid with a challenge rating of 0, controlling its movements and using its senses as described in the spell. You do not require any verbal, somatic, or material components to cast this spell. You recharge the ability to cast this spell in this way at the end of a long rest.

Pestilent Resillience

When you reach 10th level, you are immune to poison damage and the poisoned condition. In addition, you have resistance to necrotic damage and are immune to all disease.

Touch of the Small

When you reach 14th level, you gain the ability to cast certain spells in your insect form. You get the ability to cast touch range spells while in your Insectoid Form, so long as the spell does not require material components.
