Circle of the Warden

Druids of the Circle of the Warden are fierce protectors of their homelands. They train beyond normal druids and are willing to go the distance to keep their homeland safe. They work closely with other Druids, Rangers, and occasionally Barbarians, as all of them call the land their home.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with simple weapons and martial weapons. Your specialized training doesn't keep you from wearing armor or shields made of metal.

Weapon Bond

At 2nd level, you learn a ritual that creates a magical bond between yourself and one weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The weapon must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapon and forge the bond.

Once you have bonded a weapon to yourself, you can’t be disarmed of that weapon unless you are incapacitated. If it is on the same plane of existence, you can summon that weapon as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your hand.

You can have up to two bonded weapons, but can summon only one at a time with your bonus action. If you attempt to bond with a third weapon, you must break the bond with one of the other two.

You can use your bonded weapon as a druidic focus.

At 6th level your bonded weapon can deal the damage associated with your elemental attunement instead of its normal damage type. Also  at 6th level if it's not a magical weapon already; attacks made with this weapon count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Elemental Attunement

When you reach 6th level, you can tune your body to certain elements of nature. Choose between acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison or thunder whenever you finish a long rest.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your wisdom modifier. You regain all expended uses upon completing a long rest.
