Circle of the Land Features

Circle of the Land Spells

Level 3

Each time you finish a Long Rest, choose one type of terrain: coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, or underdark. You gain spells based on the terrain you select.

Land's Aid

Level 3

As an action by magic, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape and choose a point within 60 feet of you. Non-magical difficult terrain within 20 feet of that point disappears.

Natural Recovery

Level 6

You can apply one of the spells you've prepared with a spell slot to a creature or object you touch. The spell uses the same saving throw DC and spell attack bonus as normal, but doesn't expend a spell slot.

Nature's Ward

Level 10

You have Immunity to the Poisoned condition, and you have Resistance to a damage type determined by your chosen terrain.

Nature's Sanctuary

Level 14

As an action by magic, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape and summon an otherworldly guardian at a point you can see within 60 feet of you. The guardian has AC 14, Hit Points equal to your Druid level, and immunity to Poison and Psychic damage.
