Base Class: Druid
There's beauty in the natural world. From flowers in bloom, to the rolling thunderstorm. From the smell of the sea, to the quiet solitude of the mountain peak. Even in the breakdown of the dead and the growing of fungi can beauty be found. There's so much majesty in nature, and you became a druid to become closer to it. This doesn't mean have to be vain, or even conventionally attractive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and societal standards are as temporary and meaningless as the rest of the trappings of "civilization".
Natural Charmer
2nd-level Circle of Flowers feature
Your druidic training emphasized personality instead of instinct. You use Charisma instead of Wisdom for all druid class features and spells. You also gain proficiency in the Performance skill, and two musical instruments of your choice.
Circle Spells
3rd-level Circle of Flowers feature
Your connection to nature's grandeur grants you access to certain spells
At 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Circle of Spores Spells table. Once you gain access to one of these spells, 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.

Petal Dance
6th-level Circle of Flowers feature
You can spend a bonus action to surround yourself with a beautiful swirl of flower petals. These petals spread in a 30 ft. radius around yourself, and lasts for one minute. Hostile creatures that start their turn within the flower petals take 3d6 slashing damage and are blinded for as long as they stay within the area. A hostile creature can attempt a dexterity save to only take half damage and negate the blinded condition. Friendly creatures that start their turn within the flower petals regain 3d6 hit points, and gain advantage against any save against both poison damage and the poisoned condition.
At 14th level, this feature uses 5d6 instead.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
Performance Magic
10th-level Circle of Flowers feature
You learn two spells from the bard spell list. These spells must be 5th level or lower, are always prepared, and don't count against your limit of prepared spells.
Roses and Thorns
14th-level Circle of Flowers feature
You are immune to the charmed condition. In addition, you can automatically charm a creature you attack. When a creature is hit with an attack you made or fails a save against a spell you cast, you can instead replace the normal affects with a charm. The target creature is charmed for one minute.
While a creature is charmed by this feature, you have a telepathic link with charmed creature as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence. You can use this telepathic link to issue commands to the creature while you are conscious (no action required), which it does its best to obey. You can specify a simple and general course of action, such as "Attack that creature," "Run over there," or "Fetch that object." If the creature completes the order and doesn't receive further direction from you, it defends and preserves itself to the best of its ability.
You can use your action to take total and precise control of the target. Until the end of your next turn, the creature takes only the actions you choose, and doesn't do anything that you don't allow it to do. During this time, you can also cause the creature to use a reaction, but this requires you to use your own reaction as well.
Each time the target takes damage, it makes a Wisdom saving throw against you spell save DC. If the saving throw succeeds, the charmed condition ends.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Posted Oct 5, 2022Personally, I think it would have been nice to see the 10th level feature as something a little more unique to itself- something to fill it's own support/ social niche seperate from Bard... but honestly, it's fine and usable as it is. That's an upvote for me! Good work!
