Circle of Stone

Those who consider themselves members of the Circle of Stone revere the basic foundation of nature upon which all life walks. Stone Druids will often seek mountainous areas or even dwell underground, and act as steadfast and reliable as the rock they are so attuned to. As a member of the Circle of Stone, you can summon standing stones that allow you to control the battle field, damaging foes and healing allies.

Standing Stone

2nd-level Circle of Stone feature

Your earthly connection helps raise up the powerful magics locked deep within the earth. You can use a bonus action to summon a standing stone. This stone is a medium-sized object, being roughly 5 feet in height. The standing stone has an AC of 15, a damage threshold of 5, is immune to psychic and poison damage and has a number of hitpoints equal to your druid level multiplied by 4. A creature can hide behind the stone and use it as half cover. The standing stone remains for one minute, until it is destroyed, until you use your bonus action to summon another standing stone or until you dismiss it as a bonus action. You can summon a number of standing stones equal to your wisdom modifier, and regain uses when you finish a long rest.

Additionally, when you summon the standing stone, it has a series of runes that enable it to expel powerful magic. When you first summon a stone on a turn, choose one of the following stone types which provide you with additional abilities.

Vital Stone. As a bonus action, you can cause the stone to exert a wave of healing magic. Creatures of your choice that are within 10 feet of the standing stone regain 1d6 hit points.

Volcanic Stone. As a bonus action, you can cause the stone to pulse with damaging energy. Creatures of your choice that are within 10 feet of the stone must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Druid Spell Save DC. If they fail, they take 1d8 fire damage, and half as much if they succeed.

Quaking Stone. As a bonus action, you can cause the stone to send out a wave of force. Creatures of your choice that are within 10 feet of the standing stone must make a Strength saving throw against your Druid spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature is pushed 10 feet away from the stone.
