Envoy of the Aesir

The Envoy of the Aesir is a Druid steeped in battle and hardy work. They seek to protect nature and yet culture as well. This Subclass will put the Druid is a frontline position and offer greater resilience and prolonged fighting in melee combat. The Envoy of the Aesir understand the cycle of nature and put forth their worth in both serving nature and ending it. Their power is raw and comes from the land and those which created it, rich in history and power are the Envoys of the Aesir as they draw forth the power of the realms. 

This Druid prefers to sit on the front line and deal with the aggressors personally, and while they retain the spellcasting of a normal druid the class focuses on making a Druid that is heftier and more resilient than others. This class takes the Druid's connection to the wild and embodies in archaic inspiration as well as mythos' tellings. The Envoy of the Aesir cuts foe down with axe, claw, and horn all the same and backs down from no fight.

 

Dawn of the Aesir

The Druid gains heavy Armor proficiency(non-metal) and the ability to craft heavy armor using Wood, Hide, Stone, and Bone as well as various other organic materials. These materials are common to the Druid and are what they work with in their everyday life. However the Envoy of the Aesir has learned to craft even heavy armors from the materials to provide the greatest defense against the monstrosities and foes of nature and the realms. 

Heavy Leather/Hide/Fur- 15AC, No Str requirement, No disadvantage to Stealth when in the wilds.

Heavy Bone- 16AC, Str 13, Disadvantage to Stealth

Heavy Wood- 17AC, Str 15, Disadvantage to Stealth

Heavy Stone- 18 AC, Str 15, Disadvantage to Stealth

 

The druid also gains the passive capability that when they Wildshape and choose to let their armor shift with them, they gain a +2 bonus to the chosen form's AC, and when transformed the Druid may roll the Beast's health hit dice rather than taking the base. However if the Druid is wearing stone armor, it instead envelops the form and gives the appearance of stone plating or stone formed body features. 

Forms of the Nine Realms

At Second Level when the Envoy obtains Wildshape, they no longer draw from normal Beasts in the list, nor do they have to have seen their shapes. In turn, the shapes they have are unique to the Envoy of the Aesir and their protection of the Realms. These forms still draw from the limitations of the Wildshape table, but the scaling is now increased by one quarter.

The Kraken form can crush most wooden object that it wrap it's tentacles around with ease, It can also disperse it's ink cloud on land to grease the floor or objects close to it. The Kraken form does not have to use all of it's tentacles in a single attack, and rather can preform two attacks using four each, while retaining it's Grapple effect.
