Druids of the Circle of the Moon are one with the animals and nature. Their order can be found anywhere, hidden in plain sight as a normal animal. They spend large amount of time as animals in towns and villages, gathering information.
Scouting Wild Shape[edit]
When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain the ability to use Wild Shape on your turn as a bonus action, rather than as an action.
Additionally, you can use wild shape six times but it only recharge after a long rest.
Exploring Forms[edit]
The rites of your circle grant you the ability to transform without exhausting yourself. Starting at 2nd level, when you Wild Shape to transform into a beast with a challenge rating of 0, it does not consume one of your uses of wild shape and this form's hp is reduced to 1. This challenge rating increases as seen in the table below.
| Druid Level | Maximum CR |
|---|---|
| 2 | 0 |
| 6 | 1/8 |
| 10 | 1/4 |
| 14 | 1/2 |
Additionally, while you are in exploring form, you can use an action to expend one spell slot to cast disguise self or beast speech on yourself.
Telepathic (Optional Feature)[edit]
While in exploring form, you can use also cast message cantrip.
Focus Wild Shape[edit]
Starting at 6th level, you use your left over energy to wild shape into something that other no druid achieve. Choose a creature in the table below or work with your GM on the the creature that you desire to be your focus wild shape. The maximum CR of your focus wild shape is your druid level divided by 3, rounded down. After a long rest, you may replace your focus creature for another one. Your focus creature counts as a beast for the purpose of your wild shape.
| Druid Level | CR | Name |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 0 | Awaken Shrub and Shrieker |
| 6 | 1/4 | Blink Dog*, Pseudodragon, and Violet Fungus |
| 6 | 1 | Death Dog* and Hippogriff |
| 6 | 2 | Awakened Tree, Griffon, Pegasus, Gargoyle*, and Grick* |
| 9 | 3 | Hell hound*, Owlbear, and Winter wolf* |
| 12 | 4 | Chuul |
| 15 | 5 | Air element*, Earth element*, Fire element*, Water element*, and Bulette |
| 18 | 6 | Wyvern |
If a creature has long term effects, like Death Dog, its effects end after a short or long rest. If a creature has resistance to slashing, piercing, or slashing damage (like Gargoyle, Grick, and elements), it requires an additional wild shape to use. If a creature has a recharge ability, replace it with "after using this feature, you cannot use it again until you expend a 2nd level spell slot or a wild shape use".
GM notes: Avoid approving creatures that are not alive (undead and constructs), have resource to spend (spellcasting), or humanoid creatures for focus wild shape.
Advanced Focus Wild Shape (Optional Feature)[edit]
GM may allow players with this subclass to pick up this feature as a feat or replace a pre-existing feat.
You desire to wild shape into a creature more powerful than normal. Choose a second focus wild shape that has maximum CR of your focus wild shape is your druid level divided by 3, rounded down then add two (two rows down from the table). You cannot pick a creature that has a CR higher than 6. It counts has a beast for your wild shape and require one addition wild shape to use.
