Circle of the Abominable

Your druidic magics were not taught to you, they were set upon you by some greater force, potentially sinister in intention. You found after some encounter that you were given the ability to turn into beasts of the world, and sometimes something far more dangerous. 

You are an abomination, sent to rend the battlefield asunder by outside forces. Through experimentation, or by arcane means, you are not sure if when you change you will become what you intend or if you will take on an abhorrent unconventional form of abomination. 

You seek to find the means to which you can correct your nefarious beginnings, or control the powers at your disposal one day acquiring the ability to become a true abomination.

Abominable Aspect

Starting at 2nd level, you may choose an Abominable Aspect which grants you additional traits to your wild shapes. You may wild shape as a bonus action instead of an action. 

- Oozing   -   Monstrous   -   Constructed   -  Aberrant

Aberrant

The weird inhabits your soul, your mind and form lose more structure by the day. Your wild shape strikes fear into the hearts of your enemies, torturing their minds with each strike as your limbs seem to elongate, and an aura of unexplainable horror surrounds you. While in your wild shape, your attacks do an additional 1d4 psychic damage, and when you hit a creature you can, as a bonus action, make them attempt a wisdom save using your spell save DC. on a failed save the creature you hit is now frightened of you and will use half its movement on its turn to move away from you.  

Constructed

Concocted and Inspired as you may be, you have been altered into something almost non-organic. Your wild shape is far sturdier, as metal, stone, and other hard minerals replace patches of organic skin, your flesh stapled together via arcane means. Your wild shape gains temporary HP equal to 5 times your proficiency as you change. You also have resistances to non magical bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage while in wild shape. 

Monstrous

Horrendously agile and terrifyingly strong, the blood of monstrosities courses through you. Your wild shapes are faster and stronger, appearing to have sharper fangs, wicked curved claws, and in some cases spinal spikes protruding from your skin. When in wild shape you have 1 extra attack action per turn, your movement increases by 10ft, and your sizes goes up by one category, capping at large. Your attacks are considered magical as well. 

i.e if your wildshape is normally a medium size you are now large. 

Oozing

Infused with the oozes that permeate the material plane, your wild shape take on a gelatinous and viscus visage. This allows you to engulf foes and burn away at them with your acidic beastial form. Your attacks do an extra 1d4 acid damage, you may take the engulf action on your turn. anything you engulf takes 1d4 acid damage at the start of their turn, and when hit with a melee attack, you may as a reaction take attempt to engulf the creature that attacked you if they are within 5ft of you. 

Cursed Power

The cursed and afflicted powers that you've attained affected your arcane prowess. The abominations within you want to be let loose into the ether. 

You have access to the Warlock spell list (using your Druid spell casting modifier) and may take one Eldritch Invocation. You can swap out your Eldritch Invocation when reaching a level that allows you to change your ability score increase or take a feat.
