You know Druidic, the secret {{5xlc|Language}} of Druids. While learning this ancient tongue, you also unlocked the magic of communicating with animals; you always have the {{5e24spell|Speak with Animals}} spell prepared.
 
You can use Druidic to leave hidden messages. You and others who know Druidic automatically spot such a message. Others spot the message’s presence with a successful {{5e24|DC}} 15 {{5e24|Intelligence}} ({{5e24|Investigation}}) {{5e24lc|Check}} but can’t decipher it without magic.

You have dedicated yourself to one of the following sacred roles of your choice.
 
====Magician====
====Magician====
''Benefit:'' Know an extra {{5e24lc|Cantrip}} from the {{5e24|Druid/Spell|Druid}} {{5e24lc|Cantrip}}. Bonus to {{5e24|Arcana}} and {{5e24|Nature}} checks.
You know one extra {{5e24lc|Cantrip}} from the {{5e24|Druid/Spell|Druid spell list}}. In addition, your mystical connection to nature gives you a bonus to your Intelligence ({{5e24|Arcana}} or {{5e24|Nature}}) checks. The bonus equals your {{5e24|Wisdom}} modifier (minimum bonus of +1).
 
====Warden====

'''Unofficial Summary:''' You may cast Druid {{5e24lc|Spell}}s.
You have learned to cast spells through studying the mystical forces of nature. See <!--chapter 7 for -->the rules on {{5e24lc|Spellcasting}}. The information below details how you use those rules with Druid spells, which appear on the Druid spell list<!-- later in the class’s description-->.


====Cantrips====
====Cantrips====
You know a number of Druid {{5e24lc|Cantrip}}s (as shown on the {{iplink|Druid Features}} table).
You know two {{5e24lc|Cantrip}}s of your choice from the Druid spell list. {{5e24spell|Druidcraft}} and {{5e24spell|Produce Flame}} are recommended.
 
Whenever you gain a Druid level, you can replace one of your cantrips with another cantrip of your choice from the Druid spell list.
 
When you reach Druid levels 4 and 10, you learn another cantrip of your choice from the Druid spell list, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Druid Features table.


====Spell Slots====
====Spell Slots====
You have a number of {{5e24|Spell Slot}}s to cast level 1+ Druid spells (as shown on the {{iplink|Druid Features}} table).
The Druid Features table shows how many {{5e24lc|Spell Slot}}s you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a {{5e24|Long Rest}}.


====Prepared Spells of Level 1+====  
====Prepared Spells of Level 1+====  
When you finish a {{5e24|Long Rest}} you can prepare a number of spells (see {{iplink|Fruid Features table}}) you may cast using {{iplink|Spell Slot}}s. If nother Druid or druid subclass features grants you spells that are always prepared, they do not count against this limit.
You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose four level 1 spells from the Druid spell list. {{5e24 Spell Line|Animal Friendship, Cure Wounds, Faerie Fire}}, and {{5e24spell|Thunderwave}} are recommended.
 
The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Druid levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Druid Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional spells from the Druid spell list until the number of spells on your list matches the number on the table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you’re a level 3 Druid, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of levels 1 and 2 in any combination.
 
If another Druid feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Druid spells for you.
 
'''Changing Your Prepared Spells.''' Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change your list of prepared spells, replacing any of the spells with other Druid spells for which you have spell slots.


====Spellcasting Ability====
====Spellcasting Ability====
{{5e24|Wisdom}} is your {{5e24lc|Spellcasting Ability}} for Druids.
Wisdom is your {{5e24lc|Spellcasting Ability}} for your Druid spells.


====Spellcasting Focus====
====Spellcasting Focus====
{{5e24|Druidic Focus}} is the {{5e24|Spellcasting Focus}} for Druids.
You can use a {{5e24|Druidic Focus}} as a {{5e24|Spellcasting Focus}} for your Druid spells.

'''Unofficial Summary:''' As a {{5e24|Bonus Action}} you shape-shift into a {{5e24|Beast}} (see “{{iplink|Known Forms}}” below) for an extended period of time or shape-shift back.  
The power of nature allows you to assume the form of an animal. As a {{5e24|Bonus Action}}, you shape-shift into a {{5e24|Beast}} form that you have learned for this feature (see “{{iplink|Known Forms}}” below). You stay in that form for a number of hours equal to {{5e24lc|Half}} your Druid level or until you use Wild Shape again, have the {{5e24|Incapacitated}} condition, or die. You can also leave the form early as a Bonus Action.


====Number of Uses====
====Number of Uses====
You can take use Wild Shape a number of times as shown on the {{iplink|Druid Features}} table. You retain one use at the end of a {{5e24|Short Rest}} and all uses at the end of a {{5e24|Long Rest}}.
You can use Wild Shape twice. You regain one expended use when you finish a {{5e24|Short Rest}}, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
 
You gain additional uses when you reach certain Druid levels, as shown in the Wild Shape column of the {{iplink|Druid Features}} table.


====Known Forms====
====Known Forms====
You know a number of Beast forms, as shown on the {{iplink|Beast Shapes}} table that you can Wild Shape into. At the end of a Long Rest you may change one of these forms for another. The limits on the forms are shown in the {{iplink|Beast Shapes}} table.
You know four Beast forms for this feature, chosen from among Beast stat blocks that have a maximum {{5e24|Challenge Rating}} of 1/4 and that lack a {{5e24|Fly Speed}}<!-- (see appendix B for stat block options)-->. The {{5e24|Rat}}, {{5e24|Riding Horse}}, {{5e24|Spider}}, and {{5e24|Wolf}} are recommended. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one of your known forms with another eligible form.
 
When you reach certain Druid levels, your number of known forms and the maximum Challenge Rating for those forms increases, as shown in the Beast Shapes table. In addition, starting at level 8, you can adopt a form that has a Fly Speed.
 
When choosing known forms, you may look in the Monster Manual or elsewhere for eligible Beasts if the Dungeon Master permits you to do so.

====Rules While Shape-Shifted====
====Rules While Shape-Shifted====
In Beast form, you retain your personality and memories, can speak, and the following rules apply:
While in a form, you retain your personality, memories, and ability to speak, and the following rules apply:
* '''{{anchor|Temporary Hit Points}}:''' Gain a number of {{5e24|Temporary Hit Point}}s (increases with Druid level).
<div style="padding-left:2em;">
* '''{{anchor|Game Statistics}}:''' You keep your {{5e24lc|Creature Type}}; {{5e24|Hit Point}}s; {{5e24|Hit Point Dice}}; {{5e24|Intelligence}}, {{5e24|Wisdom}}, and {{5e24|Charisma}} scores; class features; {{5xlc|Language}}s; {{5e24lc|Feat}}s; {{5e24lc|Skill}}s; {{5e24|Proficiency Bonus}}; and {{5e24|Saving Throw}}s. If the Beast has a better skill or save, use the beast's.
======Temporary Hit Points======
* '''{{anchor|No Spellcasting}}:''' Shape-shifting doesn't break {{5e24|Concentration}} or end spells you have cast, but you cannot cast new spells.
When you assume a Wild Shape form, you gain a number of {{5e24|Temporary Hit Point}}s equal to your Druid level.
* '''{{anchor|Objects}}:'''
** Your ability to manipulate {{5e24lc|Object}}s, is limited by the form you take.
** Equipment you have when you shape-shift is either dropped, worn, or absorbed into the Beast form. Equipment not absorbed does not change size or shape, but may continue to be worn if the size & shape permit it (check with the {{5e24|DM}}). Absorbed equipment has no effect on your Beast form.


=====Game Statistics=====
Your game statistics are replaced by the Beast’s stat block, but you retain your creature type; {{5e24|Hit Point}}s; {{5e24|Hit Point Dice}}; {{5e24|Intelligence}}, {{5e24|Wisdom}}, and {{5e24|Charisma}} scores; class features; {{5xlc|Language}}s; and {{5e24lc|Feat}}s. You also retain your {{5e24lc|Skill}} and {{5e24lc|Saving Throw}} {{5e24|Proficiency|proficiencies}} and use your {{5e24|Proficiency Bonus}} for them, in addition to gaining the proficiencies of the creature. If a skill or saving throw modifier in the Beast’s stat block is higher than yours, use the one in the stat block.
=====No Spellcasting=====
You can’t cast {{5e24lc|Spell}}s, but shape-shifting doesn’t break your {{5e24|Concentration}} or otherwise interfere with a spell you’ve already cast.
=====Objects=====
Your ability to handle objects is determined by the form’s limbs rather than your own. In addition, you choose whether your {{5e24lc|Equipment}} falls in your {{5e24lc|Space}}, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the {{5e24|DM}} decides whether it’s practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment based on the creature’s {{5e24lc|Size}} and shape. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with the form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect while you’re in that form.

Druidic

1st level [1][2][3] 
You know Druidic, the secret language of Druids. While learning this ancient tongue, you also unlocked the magic of communicating with animals; you always have the Speak with Animals spell prepared.

You can use Druidic to leave hidden messages. You and others who know Druidic automatically spot such a message. Others spot the message’s presence with a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check but can’t decipher it without magic.

Primal Order

1st level [1][2][3] 
You have dedicated yourself to one of the following sacred roles of your choice.

Magician

You know one extra cantrip from the Druid spell list. In addition, your mystical connection to nature gives you a bonus to your Intelligence (Arcana or Nature) checks. The bonus equals your Wisdom modifier (minimum bonus of +1).

Warden

Trained for battle, you gain proficiency with Martial Weapons and training with Medium Armor.

Spellcasting

1st level [1][2][3] 
Also see: Druid Spells


You have learned to cast spells through studying the mystical forces of nature. See the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Druid spells, which appear on the Druid spell list.

Cantrips

You know two cantrips of your choice from the Druid spell list. Druidcraft and Produce Flame are recommended.

Whenever you gain a Druid level, you can replace one of your cantrips with another cantrip of your choice from the Druid spell list.

When you reach Druid levels 4 and 10, you learn another cantrip of your choice from the Druid spell list, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Druid Features table.

Spell Slots

The Druid Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your level 1+ spells. You regain all expended slots when you finish a Long Rest.

Prepared Spells of Level 1+

You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose four level 1 spells from the Druid spell list. Animal Friendship, Cure Wounds, Faerie Fire, and Thunderwave are recommended.

The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Druid levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Druid Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional spells from the Druid spell list until the number of spells on your list matches the number on the table. The chosen spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you’re a level 3 Druid, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of levels 1 and 2 in any combination.

If another Druid feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Druid spells for you.

Changing Your Prepared Spells. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change your list of prepared spells, replacing any of the spells with other Druid spells for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Druid spells.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a Druidic Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for your Druid spells.

Wild shape

2nd level [1][2][3] 
The power of nature allows you to assume the form of an animal. As a Bonus Action, you shape-shift into a Beast form that you have learned for this feature (see “Known Forms” below). You stay in that form for a number of hours equal to half your Druid level or until you use Wild Shape again, have the Incapacitated condition, or die. You can also leave the form early as a Bonus Action.

Number of Uses

You can use Wild Shape twice. You regain one expended use when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

You gain additional uses when you reach certain Druid levels, as shown in the Wild Shape column of the Druid Features table.

Known Forms

You know four Beast forms for this feature, chosen from among Beast stat blocks that have a maximum Challenge Rating of 1/4 and that lack a Fly Speed. The Rat, Riding Horse, Spider, and Wolf are recommended. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace one of your known forms with another eligible form.

When you reach certain Druid levels, your number of known forms and the maximum Challenge Rating for those forms increases, as shown in the Beast Shapes table. In addition, starting at level 8, you can adopt a form that has a Fly Speed.

When choosing known forms, you may look in the Monster Manual or elsewhere for eligible Beasts if the Dungeon Master permits you to do so.

Beast Shapes

Druid Level Known Forms Max CR Fly Speed
2 4 1/4 No
4 6 1/2 No
8 8 1 Yes

Rules While Shape-Shifted

While in a form, you retain your personality, memories, and ability to speak, and the following rules apply:

Temporary Hit Points

When you assume a Wild Shape form, you gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to your Druid level.

Game Statistics

Your game statistics are replaced by the Beast’s stat block, but you retain your creature type; Hit Points; Hit Point Dice; Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores; class features; languages; and feats. You also retain your skill and saving throw proficiencies and use your Proficiency Bonus for them, in addition to gaining the proficiencies of the creature. If a skill or saving throw modifier in the Beast’s stat block is higher than yours, use the one in the stat block.

No Spellcasting

You can’t cast spells, but shape-shifting doesn’t break your Concentration or otherwise interfere with a spell you’ve already cast.

Objects

Your ability to handle objects is determined by the form’s limbs rather than your own. In addition, you choose whether your equipment falls in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it’s practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment based on the creature’s size and shape. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with the form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect while you’re in that form.

Wild Companion

2nd level [1][2][3] 
You can summon a nature spirit that assumes an animal form to aid you. As a Magic action, you can expend a spell slot or a use of Wild Shape to cast the 5e (2024)Find Familiar spell without Material Components.

When you cast the spell in this way, the familiar is Fey and disappears when you finish a Long Rest.

Druid Subclass

3rd level [1][2][3] 
You gain a Druid subclass of your choice. A subclass is a specialization that grants you features at certain Druid levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your subclass’s features that are of your Druid level or lower.

The might of the elements flows through you. You gain one of the following options of your choice.

Potent Spellcasting

Add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any Druid cantrip.

Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with an attack roll using a weapon or a Beast form’s attack in Wild Shape, you can cause the target to take an extra 1d8 Cold, Fire, Lightning, or Thunder damage (choose when you hit).

Archdruid

20th level [1][2][3] 
The vitality of nature constantly blooms within you, granting you the following benefits.

Evergreen Wild Shape

Whenever you roll Initiative and have no uses of Wild Shape left, you regain one expended use of it.

Nature Magician

You can convert uses of Wild Shape into a spell slot (no action required). Choose a number of your unexpended uses of Wild Shape and convert them into a single spell slot, with each use contributing 2 spell levels. For example, if you convert two uses of Wild Shape, you produce a level 4 spell slot. Once you use this benefit, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

Longevity

The primal magic that you wield causes you to age more slowly. For every ten years that pass, your body ages only one year.
