Circle of Plants

Druids of the Circle of Plants are passive observers and kind souls. They gather in large groups and trade stories of their observations. Although they don’t like society much so they tend to stay out in the wilderness for their whole lives. Trading stories with fellow Druids in what they call groves (the group of people they trust).

Due to there calm nature, these druids often dislike combat and will turn into plants and have mastered the art of healing with nature's power. These druids also commune with nature often and enjoy simple and complex stories of the forest. The only time a Druid like this may go out its way for combat is to protect the forest from loggers or from a wildfire.
