Base Class: Druid
The Circle of Seasons allows a druid to flux between Regrowth and Disaster--forgoing the ability to shift forms via wild shape, they gain a greater expertise over their ability to weave magic.
Boon of the Cycle
At the beginning of combat the Druid decides if they begin in either Disaster or Regrowth phase, at the start of each of their turns they cycle from their current phase to the next;
(Eg: Regrowth > Neutral > Disaster > Neutral > Regrowth, ect.)
One per long rest, you can summon a sphere of a 60-foot diameter, the center of which must be within 30-feet of themselves, the sphere can be moved to another point within 30-feet of the caster as a bonus action. This sphere must always remain within 30-feet of you--meaning if you move away from the sphere it will automatically remain within 30-feet of you.
As long as the sphere is active one of the three following things happen at the start of each of the your turns;
a) If the phase is currently Regrowth you may distribute {{(classlevel)}} hit points among creatures within the sphere. Alternatively, you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing to cure the target of one disease or neutralize one poison affecting it. You may remove multiple diseases/points in this way expending hit points separately for each one.
b) If the phase is currently Neutral, nothing occurs.
c) If the phase is currently Disaster you may distribute {{(classlevel)}} among creatures within the sphere (EG: Druid level 5, bestow 3 damage to one enemy, and 2 to another)
Natural Recovery
Starting at 2nd level, you can regain some of your magical energy by sitting in meditation and communing with nature. During a short rest, you choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your druid level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest
For example, when you are a 4th-level druid, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level slot or two 1st-level slots.
Circle Spells
Your mystical connection to the land infuses you with the ability to cast certain spells. At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to circle spells connected to the shifting focus of the seasons.
Once you gain access to a circle spell, 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.

Heart of the Land
Upon reaching 6th level, you gain the ability to spend 10 minutes focusing you can determine the 'mood' of your environment, as well as the general health of the biome you find yourself in.
Emissary of Nature
When you reach 10th level both your healing and damaging spells are more effective depending on which boon phase you are currently in.
Whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature while in Regrowth Phase, the creature regains additional hit points equal to 2 + the spell’s level.
Whenever you use a spell of 1st level or higher to damage a creature while in Disaster Phase, the creature takes an additional 2 + the spell's level in damage.
Season's Bounty
Upon reaching 14th level, your Boon of the Cycle now refreshes after each successful short rest.

Posted Jun 8, 2020Boon of the Cycle is confusing. "This sphere must always remain within 30-feet of you--meaning if you move away from the sphere it will automatically remain within 30-feet of you." this does not actually say what it does. How does it automatically remain within 30 feet of you?
How long is the sphere active?
"you can expend 5 hit points from your pool of healing" What pool of healing? You never said it had a pool of healing.
" If the phase is currently Disaster you may distribute {{(classlevel)}} among creatures within the sphere" you can distribute what?
Boon of the Cycle seems very powerful and has no cost or duration.
