Design Note: Circle of the Moon Updates
[1] Here are the main updates in this subclass since its last playtest version, aimed at improving its play and its connection to the lunar theme:
- Circle Forms has returned from the 2014 version of the subclass. As in that version, the feature is improved at 6th level — now in a feature called Improved Circle Forms.
- Combat Wild Shape now lets you use either your AC or your Beast form’s AC, whichever is higher. The feature also ensures you always have Moonbeam prepared, and you can cast that spell while in a Wild Shape form. As in the previous Druid playtest, the feature also lets you cast Abjuration spells while in a Wild Shape form (most healing spells now belong to the Abjuration school).
- Moonlight Step is a new 10th-level feature, which allows the Druid to teleport.
- Lunar Form is a new 14th-level feature, which enhances other features in the subclass.

- Rule Tip: Temporary Hit Points Don't Stack. If you have temporary hit points and receive more of them, you don’t add them together, unless a rule says you can. Instead, you decide which temporary hit points to keep.
