power over the others, the world could be destroyed, drawn
into one of the elemental planes and broken apart into its
component elements. Thus, druids oppose cults of
Elemental Evil and others who promote one element to the
exclusion of others.

Druids are also concerned with the delicate ecological
balance that sustains plant and animal life, and the need
for civilized folk to live in harmony with nature, not in
opposition to it. Druids accept that which is cruel in nature,
and they hate that which is unnatural, including aberrations
(such as beholders and mind flayers) and undead (such as
zombies and vampires). Druids sometimes lead raids
against such creatures, especially when the monsters
encroach on the druids' territory.

Druids are often found guarding sacred sites or watching
over regions of unspoiled nature. But when a significant
danger arises, threatening nature's balance or the lands
they protect, druids take on a more active role in combating
the threat, as adventurers.

Thank You ...
Circle of Night
... for taking the time to read this reimagining of the Cleric
While it draws inspiration from the Circle of Twilight (a class! If you have any feedback or suggestions, please
playtest-exclusive druid circle that was never officially contact the author ─ /u/Ozzifer on Reddit ─ or consider
published), the Circle of Night is a new circle included to joining their Patreon.
give druids a different choice of subclass. As such, there
are no changes to official material to be detailed here.

Circle of the Shepherd

The changes to the Circle of the Shepherd are listed below.
Circle Spells. This is a new feature, and grants the druid

additional spells in order to standardize the subclasses.
Spirit Totem. This feature is now tied to the druid's use

of Wild Shape.
Mighty Summoner. The extra hit points granted to

eligible creatures have been changed, in order to
accommodate the introduction of spells such as summon
beast and summon fey.

Faithful Summons. The spell effect triggered by this
feature is now summon beast, instead of conjure animals.
This change is intended to reduce clutter and clerical
upkeep, and also to prevent unnecessary slowing of
gameplay during combat.

Circle of Spores

The changes to the Circle of Spores are listed below.
Halo of Spores. Instead of forcing a target to make a

saving throw as a reaction, the druid can use this feature as
a bonus action to make a melee spell attack.

Symbiotic Entity. The druid can activate this feature
when they hit with a melee attack, rather than using an
action. This change is intended to allow the druid to
function more effectively in melee combat.

Fungal Infestation. The zombie animated with this
feature's effect gains temporary hit points and a bonus to
its melee weapon damage; these benefits are intended to
mirror the bonuses to the druid from Symbiotic Entity.

Circle of Stars

The changes to the Circle of Stars are listed below.
Circle Spells. This is a new feature, and grants the druid

additional spells in order to standardize the subclasses.
Star Map. This feature has been rewritten to

accommodate the addition of circle spells, but its overall
effect is largely unchanged.
