Basic Conjurations[edit]
Starting at 1st level, you learn how to cast the spell infestation without spending spell slots. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for this spell. You add your Wisdom modifier on damage rolls made with this spells.
Conjure Beasts[edit]
Starting at 1st level, you learn how to tap into your natural magic to convoke wild beasts to your help. This natural magic is represented by an amount of conjuring points you have. Once you spend a conjure point, it is spent until you finish a long rest.
- Conjuring
The amount of conjuring points spent equals the CR of a beast x 2. For example, to conjure a tiger, you must spend 2 conjuring points, and be at 3rd level. A conjured beast remains conjured for 1 minute.
A beast with a CR 1/4 or lower costs 1 conjuring point, but it lasts for 10 minutes. A CR 1/8 beasts costs 1 conjuring point and lasts for 1 hour. A CR 0 beast lasts for 8 hours.
- Swarms.
- To conjure a swarm, you must spend conjuring points equal to three times the swarm CR.
- Conjuring Multiple Creatures.
- Starting at 5th level, you can conjure multiple creatures. You can summon up to two creatures with half your maximum summoning CR, or up to eight creatures with a quarter of the maximum CR. For example, at 10th level, you could spend 8 conjuring points to summon either a single elephant, two giant boars or eight brown bears.
- Controlling Beasts
A conjured beast acts on your initiative, either before, after or simultaneously to you. You must choose in each of your turns if you or your beast will take an action, bonus action, reaction or move.
When you control your beast to take the Attack action, it makes only one attack, regardless of having the Multiattack trait.
While the beast is conjured, you can see trough its eyes and you share its senses, and can control all of its movements while you are in the same plane.
You can't cast spells or concentrate on them while you have a beast conjured. Doing so immediately dismisses the beast, unless otherwise state.
Animal Friend[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, you develop a deep connection with beasts. You have advantage on all Wisdom checks made to interact and track beasts, as well in Intelligence checks to recall information about them.
In addition, you can use your action to turn any beast you encounter that is hostile to become indifferent to you, until you or one of your allies makes a harmful action towards it, after which you can't use this feature on the creature again.

Starting at 5th level, your beasts can use their Multiattack feature, if they have one.
In addition, their natural weapons are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Bestial Tongue[edit]
Starting at 7th level, you can cast speak with animals at will. In addition, any beast within 10 feet of you can understand whatever you and any creature of your choice within range says.
Animal Companion[edit]
Starting at 11th level, you gain the service of an animal companion of your choice, by spending 1 conjuring point. You can choose any beast with a CR 1/2 or lower, and you can have only one at time. Summoning another one will make the previous one disappear.
You have a deep bond with your animal companion. You can communicate telepathically with the companion as long as both of you are on the same plane, up to a range of 1 mile.
Your animal companion add your Wisdom modifier to its Intelligence score, if it is lower.
